Musings from a UofT student


  • Is it fair that students with laptops have an advantage over those who don't (in classes that use clickers) because they can look up the clicker questions on the PowerPoint slides when the prof uploads them to Blackboard right before class starts?
  • Why do so many students go to lectures to watch videos and browse Facebook on their laptops?
  • Why (in certain classes) do you have to pay money to look at an exam that you wrote?
  • Why are students allowed to enroll in a "fake" Program of Study on ROSI to get into courses that are limited to students who are legitimately majoring or specializing in a given subject?
  • Why does Robarts library close so early on Fridays?
  • Why do the vast majority of food trucks/student cafeterias sell only junk food?
  • Why am I not eligible for the 30% off tuition despite being only slightly older than people entering post-secondary right after high school?
  • Why do I feel like a visible minority on the St. George campus?
  • Why am I not allowed to pay for my full-time classes on a per-course basis during the academic year?
  • Why do first-year students in lecture halls always sit at least two seats away from people they don't know?
  • Why are textbooks so expensive?
  • Why is important scholarly research paywalled to non-university students?
  • Why are there intellectuals on campus who wander around and don't appear to be grounded in physical reality?
That's all I can really think of for now. I might decide to add some pictures to each bullet later on once I have all the pictures I need.

Have you got any musings to share?
