"You're welcome, hope it helps! > Is there really a difference in the quality of professors between UTSG and UTSC? I haven't found that to be the case. Check the anti-calendar for both campuses for ratings between equivalent courses as they are taught by different professors. It averages out between campuses, and the difference is rarely worth the bus trip. The problem was that there were courses offered in UTSC that weren't offered in UTSG, and vice versa. I wound up bussing to UTSC for the computer science security course until I could transfer into the UTSG computer engineering security course. There isn't an equivalent to UTSG's ECE385 at UTSC either. This generally happens to smaller elective courses that belong to one passionate individual professor. Those are the courses that make the shuttle worth it. There tends to be more of these courses at UTSG just because it's bigger."

"UTSG CS alumnus here. Welcome to the city and the school! I'm afraid I can't tell you much about UTSC or Scarborough, I've only been there a few times. UofT in general, there's a club for everything, and a bunch of them are worth checking out. If anything looks interesting read up on it well in advance. For example, archery is very popular, and it fills up shortly after 7am on the first registration day. The study groups don't fill up nearly so fast. There are a ton of free lectures and seminars to check out listed [at the events page](https://www.events.utoronto.ca/). Get a Toronto Public Library card asap and check out [the museum + arts passes](http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/museum-...). The cheap shuttle to Toronto is worth exploiting for this sort of thing."

"They're a Canadian company with enormous debt to a foreign company. The argument there was whether they were under foreign control since their liabilities exceeded half of their value, which would run afoul of the "foreign controlled" part even if it did meet ownership standards."

"The biggest con is the majority of the fatburners on the shelf don't work and they're expensive. If they do work you'll want to research into the stimulants they put into it. You're better off researching yohimbe or an ephedra stack. And even those don't do very much on their own either. The biggest advantage with the EC stack I found was it kept away the hunger pangs while on a strict diet. EC is thermogenic though and does help you burn a little bit of extra calories, but not much."

Noise at RioCan Yonge-Eglinton Centre is back - despite Police telling them to stop, Karen Stintz denying their request for an exemption, and media attention - flaunting the law, no matter how it affects tenants - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Bell plan "$54/month" which is actually $75/month after fees, voicemail option and taxes. 200 minutes Unlimited texts Unlimited evenings/weekends 6gb data The important thing is the data is rolled into the voice plan, rather than an option, so it can be grandfathered. Also some long distance and Bell TV that I don't care about. I'm keeping the plan until I can get a LTE device."

"There have been many days where I've used meal replacements because I didn't want to cook. >By giving it only what it needs, and nothing it doesn't, I am optimistic about the long term effects. I'm not as sure as he is that these nutrients are an expansive list of what we need. I'd consider something like this, but I'd also like to blend in some vegetables for the micronutrients. And eat some meat and eggs every now and then."

lance_ on What horrible method did your parents use to wake you up in the morning? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"*Methods used by my family to wake me up* 1. Dragging out of bed onto the floor by the ankles 2. Flipping mattress onto the floor 3. Setting excited puppies on my bed. 4. Yelling out "WE MADE PANCAKES AND BACON!" from the kitchen. There were usually pancakes and bacon. 5. Smacking me in the face with a handful of flour (thanks, mom.) *Methods used by my cat to wake me up* 1. Licking my beard, hair or eyelid. 2. Jumping from the nighttable onto my balls. 3. Jumping from the bookshelf onto my belly. 4. Headbutting my nose. These lists are non-exhaustive."

"I work 9 to 6 and hit the gym at lunch Tuesdays/Thursdays and midday on Saturday. I find that by EOD I am too zapped to want to drag myself to the gym, and I often can't sleep early enough to get a decent night's sleep if I were to try to hit the gym before work. Exercise at lunch helps to get rid of the mid-afternoon blahs too."
