Hey aska, I know that you can pick any college and still go into any course, but are the some colleges that are more popular with people in certain courses? I for one wanna go into computer science, so is there a college that most computer science students go? \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 hey there, okay, this has been said time and again on this site, but it hasn’t been said for a while so i think it bears repeating. besides, it’s a college question that isn’t just you asking me to pick your college for you, so i feel a bit more charitable about answering it. so here’s the deal. i know what you’re thinking: that OFFICIALLY there are no subject-specific colleges but that unofficially, there’s some kind of UNSPOKEN RULE that someone neglected to tell you about how “this is the science college,” “this is the liberal arts college,” etc. etc… totally valid assumption, but it has no basis in fact. the only times when colleges might be even a little bit inclined to have more people from a certain program is if the program is actually run by that college. however, computer science (and most programs in the Faculty of Arts & Science) is not housed at any college, meaning that computer science students have no reason to accumulate anywhere. you gotta trust me when i’m telling you this, guys: the colleges are not in any way related to subjects. it just doesn’t work like that. think about them like residence buildings. there are no residences that are more arts-y or more science-y. they’re just places where students are put. that’s what colleges are, without putting too fine a point on it: places where students are put. it’s just a question of whether you want to be put somewhere that’s big or small, looks old and grand or warm and quaint. and obviously, we all know the drill about how to figure out which one of those you’d prefer: tour, research, and poke around this blog (shameless self-promotion, shh. it is actually helpful though seriously). best of luck my friend, aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,214],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-colleges","category-computer-science"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5936\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
