[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great thread.  Can you compare UT versus UMD for example, in terms of campus size, support services, etc [/quote]

I was a grad student at U of T and not an undergrad, so I can't speak to services, but U of T's campus is right in central Toronto. It's actually quite compact, significantly smaller than UMD's huge College Park campus. The central Toronto campus (St. George campus) of U of T is about a mile across, a few long blocks and quads. It's about twice the size of Columbia, physically, and comparably embedded in the city, though closer to the very center. U of T is in right in between museums, the Ontario Parliament buildings, neighborhoods, and fancy shopping areas.

It's organized into colleges in a way somewhat analogous to Oxbridge, though afaict college life is not so all-encompassing for U of T undergrads as for Oxbridge undergrads. Most of the colleges are the size of small universities in the US (several thousand students). I expect others in the thread can answer to what level of support there is in the colleges. There are also two large satellite campuses of the university, Mississauga and Scarborough, in the western and eastern far suburbs respectively.[/quote]
