I can tell you from personal experience, also having graduated from the accouting program, that it was very challening. After discussing this topic (and studying) with students from UofT and Schulich, we all came to the conclusion that UOIT does not get the credit it deserves.
Granted some programs are "easier" than others, but the programs are still the same.
UOIT accounting was NOT easier than more prestigious universities - in fact - our exams were the same as the exams given to students preping for thier UFEs. Anyone who has graduated from the Accounting program and is in the process of attaining thier professional designation will tell you that UOIT prepared them well. I am very appreciative of what my professors put me through - the 2am study sessions paid off 
Defence for the sciences - a very dear friend of mine graduated from the math program and is now doing his PHD at Queens and has been offered to join their math department as a professor.
Another factor people are clearly failing to consider is the determination of each individual student. If you do not put in your full effort or are in a program that does not compliment your strengths, then you're really setting yourself up for failure.
Tips from experience:
1- pick a program that can be applied practically (arts/sciences is usually not the best unless you decide to do post grad - more difficult to find careers).
2- do something you're interested in or you will find it very difficult to stay motivated
3- pick something close to home and SAVE your money - unless you HAVE to move I recommend you live with your parents!
4- do not pick a school only because most of your highschool friends go there - chances are you will lose touch anyways.
5- network and look for jobs related to what your studying - even as early as second year - it's never too early!
6- be grateful for the opportunity to go to school (anyone who is complaining) - majority of the world doesn't have this luxury.
That's all.
Have a wonderful day everyone

Thank you Working Grad! Great info.
As well, a UOIT accounting team of 4 students just won silver in a CMA Accounting Challenge contest out of all the universities that entered. That means the teaching is very good at UOIT or the team would not have placed this high. |

| By the way there have been several misunderstandings about a UOIT laptop program. Some things that i know is thatafter 2 years you can buy out their laptop. But I do have a question. How often pr do you at all get a new model of the laptop throughout your university years. |

| UOIT just hired a new president. Dr. Tim McTiernan is currently a senior administrator at U of Toronto. |

you change model every 2 years of your studies
and upon graduation, you will have the option to purchase it for $1
an example:
Year 1 of your study - get a brand new Lenovo T61p
Year 2 of your study - continue using the same laptop that you've had since year 1
Year 3 of your study - give back your T61p, and exchange it for a brand new Lenovo T510
Year 4 of your study - same laptop as year 3. When you graduate, you can buy out your T510 for $1, from the school.
every year, the school will introduce a new model, from Lenovo; what model you'll get depends on what year you've entered. Year 1 & 3 shares the same new model, and yr 2 & 4 with their old ones.
so last year the new model was T500, and old one was T61p
this year the new model is T510, and old becomes T500 |

uoit is the shittiest university ever i went there for the business program and transfered out. one of the courses they bell curved the marks so much that people who had 80s ended up with 120 and people who had a 60 got 85's. i was one of the people who had a 60 and i went from C to A amazing. that school is jus pure shit people who dont even study anything end up with atleast a c and people who do like 2 days before finals end up with 80's and above
uoit doesnt qualify for a univeristy, almost everyone there went there because they couldnt get the marks to go anywhere else
it actually makes me angry that they can get a degree so easy where at other universities people are suffering
i actually found uoit easier than highschool |
You're implying you're really a C-student at UOIT. Most of your classmates are probably getting better marks than you, with or without curving. Given UOIT isn't very selective to start with, which school did you transfer to? I mean, where can you go other than a community college? |
Man, f*** off, Like seriously, do the engineering program and ull be crying, expically Nuclear engineering, BTW this is life, the ones on top take the easy way while the remaining 85% of u retards torture urselves just because u felt that u are too good and end up sucking the lazy boy's balls!!!! |

Agree! If you do the work you will get the marks. UOIT is producing well qualified students. Lots of science students go on to medical school and they have to be taught well or they would not get into U of T medical school or the others.
I don't know much about the other programs but science is excellent. |

I'm at UOIT myself and I can tell you that Criminology here is a ****ing joke... UOIT is an Engineering and Science school only. They f*** us Criminology and Legal students so hard that they kicked us off the main campus. |
I attend UOIT myself, and I'm not going to sit here and complain about the program because they moved us to downtown. I mean are you kidding me? I honestly believe that the legal studies and criminology program is great, along with many of my friends. Just like every subject, if you do the work, you are likely to do well. But, its obvious to say that the Health Sciences, Math, Engineers and IT people have it harder than we do. |

I must agree. I guess some people like to challenge themselves, but others just want to have an actual life. I got accepted to top universities, but I decided to go to UOIT. Why? I knew that it wld be a little more easier than U of T and all. I mean I dont want a low GPA even after working my as* off and not get into law school. I rather get the GPA I need and get into a well known law school. I don't think people going to schools that have been around longer should put UOIT students down. Yes, it may be easier to get in especially because it is new...but its hard to stay in, just like every other university.

I am currently at UOIT in Science and will be applying to Dentistry in another year. The professors here at UOIT are fantastic and we are getting a high level education which will get the students who want to into medical school or wherever they want to go. The university may be young but it is full of experienced professors who want their students to do well and push us to do so. They are available to us when we need them and they do not hide behind their teaching assistants. Remember every university was young once and grew into what they are now. UOIT is no different. |
