Hello,
\nIn late March I received my acceptance to UofT; however, I did not get into my first choice college (University
\nCollege). Instead I got into\u00a0New\u00a0College. Today (late May) I attended an open house of sorts, and we toured the residence rooms. To say I am not impressed would be an understatement. I have already accepted UofT (obviously) and have sent in my residence reply form. My first question is, is it still possible at this time to transfer into
\nUniversity
\nCollege, or am I just going to have to suck it up? Also, I have seen the UC dorms and I like them much better.<\/span><\/p>\n

My second question: do languages count as a humanities or social science? I want to go into Pharmacy and one of the pre-requisites is that I have at least one humanities or social science course along with the regular sciences.<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n

<\/span>I’m sorry that you hate\u00a0New\u00a0College. The best thing that you can try to do (as I tell every other student hoping to switch) is to message the University College Registrar’s Office and see if there are any vacancies\/open spots for becoming a registered student there. But, can I just say, that you’re a student, and being somewhere that’s a bit dilapidated can be charming and hilarious. And if you end up on a floor of humdrums because of your own doing, you’ll hate yourself forever.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To answer your second query, languages are humanities courses, and yes, you need one science, one humanities, and one social science to graduate. This is to ensure that you are a well rounded human being once you leave our school – or at least that’s the goal. Be forewarned, however, languages are a bitch and the equivalent to having two courses because they’re so f*ing demanding. I speak from experience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
