Honestly, Waterloo is a very studious school. It’s known to be nerd central up here. It also has a reputation for being very hard, especially in math and physics (not too sure about bio). For pre-med, it’s generally agreed upon that MacMaster’s Health Science program is the best in Canada - 75% of the graduating class there got accepted into med school after graduation (and so it’s quite difficult to get into).

Scarborough on the other hand is a smaller campus that’s in more of an urban place. To be honest, U of T is one of those schools where you just cannot go wrong. Even if they aren’t particularly known for a certain program, everyone seems to accept that U of T is a beast at everything. Just know for U of T, even though I say that UTSC is a smaller campus it’s still big enough (but not big like UTSG downtown).

Overall, I’d pick Waterloo over UTSC, but that’s just because the larger the school the less I like it.
