Hello,<\/p>\n

My main concern with U of T St. George is its size. Is it really so big that you feel like a visitor? Is it impossible \/ extremely difficult to get to
\nknow professors \/ TA’s well?<\/p>\n

And also, how would a school as large as U of T go about choosinga valedictorian (lol…)<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n

When you first step onto the massive St George campus and go to your 300 person class, you will feel a little overwhelmed. By your second year you will start to experience smaller classes and realize that your TAs are fully accessable. As your classes get smaller your profs will be able to offer more one on one relationships.<\/p>\n

I remember driving to the campus, ending up in Little Italy and being late for classes because the numbering of the buildings in Kings Circle are confusing. NOW I know all the secret passages behind the statues in UC and the closet in Knox that takes you to another land far, far away from studying.<\/p>\n

The visitor feel does go away as you start to realize that you?really only use certain parts of the campus and start to have smaller classes.<\/p>\n

So here<\/a> is what goes down at convocation. There is no valedictorian for undergraduate arts and science graduation. Engineering and commerce might be a little different (as they always are). Sorry bud, maybe just storm on stage and bust out a speech anyways (if you get arrested I didn’t suggest it; if you get a standing ovation, I get a beer)<\/p>\n

Has anyone else noticed that Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka looks a lot like Michael Jackson?
\nEvidence One<\/p>\n

Evidence Two<\/a><\/p>\n

forever yours,
