Hey Aska! Alright so I was accepted into the CCIT program and I’m seriously considering accepting it, but I just want to get some stuff cleared up before I do.<\/p>\n
First of all, does the CCIT program offer an internship\/ Co-op? Also do I have to maintain a certain GPA by the end of my first year to continue on to my second year?<\/p>\n
Ok, now about residence. When I went to the open house someone had told me that the school expects you to find your own place by the second year. Does that mean I cannot live in res after i complete my first year? Also when in res do i have to buy my own internet or does the school provide that for me? Does the school have a list of stuff I should and shouldn’t bring?<\/p>\n
What is campus life like? I hear a lot of people say that it’s pretty dead because UTM is a commuter school. I also hear a lot of complaints about the food options on campus. Is it really that bad?<\/p>\n
Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
CCIT does in fact offer internships, though it’s not mandatory to complete an internship to complete the program. you can learn all about CCIT internships here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n you can see the first-year requirements for entering one of CCIT’s three programs here <\/a>(the GPA is competitive for admission, but there’s no minimum cut-off).<\/p>\n as a matter of fact you can<\/em> live in res in second year. according to this page, the first 300 upper-year students who reapply to residence are guaranteed a spot<\/a>. upper year students are definitely a minority in residence – 300 is not a lot – but it is still possible<\/em> to stay, if you really want to.<\/p>\n i’d disagree that campus life is dead. UTSG is a commuter school too, and in my experience there are still oodles of ways to get involved. besides that, residence life is a whole separate thing from student life, so if you plan on living on residence, you’ll have two<\/em> communities you can get involved with. here are just a<\/a> couple<\/a> of ways to get involved on res at UTM.<\/p>\n
