A university with 3 campuses across Ontario. The school is lauded within Toronto as being very prestigious, and students are actually taught to snub their noses at other universities and colleges, regardless of Academic merit. In many cases, U of T students tend to get an inflated ego from the schools over zealous and sometimes irrationally pompous attitude towards calling itself "the Harvard of the North".
Such assumptions are generally debated and won by the fact that the U of T campuses consists of UTSC (Scarborough campus), UOFT (Downtown) and UTE (Erindale/Mississauga) - this last campus is in Mississauga, which is not part of Toronto and thus shows how idiotic the administration and overall management of the school is.
Some U of T students are able to graduate without developing a high ego, but many of the students - primarily those who go to the downtown campus, often end up with an inflated sense of worth - only to graduate and end up working for their peers who attended other universities.

University of Toronto is the Harvard of the North this statement is based purely on fact. UofT is an elite institution where only the best of the best get into, thus those who come from wealthy families, ivy league preped their whole lives and somehow to top it all off are extremely goodlooking. The students at UofT possess an extremely over inflated ego and prance around the lavish downtown core with a superior air to them that says "soon this one day will all be ours". The UofT students stick up their noses to other universitys which they classify as second rate, those in which include "every" university other then their elite American counterparts Harvard, Princeton and Berkely- schools which they usually attend for further studies.
UofT where the best of the best go to become better then you ever will be.
actual perception of people downtown:
Sam- " is there something special going on down here today?"
John-"No... man its just the University of Toronto students they always dress like that"
Sam-" Oh cool..."

A post-secondary institution in Toronto where people go to get a piece of paper that is supposed to earn them a tiny bit of prestige.
Pros: Some nice architecture, pretty flexible due dates (in the humanities at least), central location, profs usually know what they're talking about, huge ass libraries.
Cons: Some ugly-as-shit buildings, elitist/bitchy classmates (who also come with a hint of classism), nonexistent social scene.
Neutral: Profs mark a bit harder compared to other institutions, but with loose due dates it doesn't actually make a difference.

StudentA: Where are you going next year?

StudentA: Well, I'm going to "insert Ivy League here", so suck it.
StudentB: T.T

An academically centred private high school in Canada (Grade 7 to 12). Has the advantage of not having child molesters under their payroll (Upper Canada College!). Regularly wins in everything besides sports (exempting girls sports, and swimming).
Contains four houses: Althouse, Cody, Crawford, Lewis. These houses contain roughly one fourth of the school each.
It also has the advantage of MPGC, the greatest club ever. Why? Well, you can play computer games.
Alex Ling is so damn hot.

A school for nerds who are depressed, stressed, and have an unhealthy obsession with bubble tea. If you go to UTS: donβt.
Oh you go to University of Toronto Schools, thatβs unfortunate.
