Bachelor of science. Still undecided between pure maths and mathematical physics. I won't have to make my mind up until next year, though, since the required subjects are very similar.

It's ok. Arguably the best uni in Australia, but that's not saying a whole lot. Our universities mostly exist to capitalise on the growing Chinese middle class.

God give back my telebears. The new system is literally what community colleges use, I thought we're better than that. We have 1700 fucking students in 61a this year, why can't we use one of them?
realized i wasted my first two years here nbd
Anyone else starting here in a few weeks?
University of Toronto here. Arguably a far superior school compared to UBC.

ANU in Australia.
Studying physics and mathematics.
There's a lot of autistic people, you have to deal with SJWs often, most people here are ugly and this uni is located in Canberra, which is a pretty boring place. But it's arguably the best uni for physics/mathematics in Australia and there's great research and networking oppourtunities. Plus weed is decriminalized here so at least I don't have to worry about that (this is actually the reason I decided to come here instead of UofMelbourne).

Are you getting hard about getting your ring? I hear you Canucks get a ring for being an engineer. Sounds fucking gay, but I guess gay shit is part of being an engineer.
Started here a few weeks ago, CS & Physics/Astronomy. Supposedly it's just as good as the ivies but without the same difficulty to get in - that remains to be seen. I applied to a ton of top schools but didn't get into any because I didn't have any direction in high school (I was motivated, but I didn't know what I wanted to do, plus the school was shitty and average and small with basically no resources).
Taking:
Discrete Math (self-study)
Honors Calculus I (all proof-based, should be pretty cool, awesome professor, apparently going to be basically the same course caltech students take because he went there)
Data Structures & Algorithms
Mechanics Honors (also supposedly awesome professor)
The Solar System & its Origin
I really like that they have an open curriculum here, so I only have to take like one bullshit class, the rest is almost entirely my choice.
It seems like there's a lot of idiots here, but also a lot of smart people, you just have to find them.
