OCAD U attracts a vast number of talented students and receives considerable attention from the local art community. I like that we are encouraged by the school to take courses outside our primary area of focus. For example, I took a class on the history of modern architecture, and now I love understanding buildings in much the same way that I love studying paintings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe some of your best experiences so far.<\/strong><br \/>I have really enjoyed participating in the Asia-Global Cultural Studies Forum. This is an opportunity for students across all programs at OCAD U to present their research alongside professional artists and intellectuals from all around the world (thanks to Zoom). In the latest session, we examined the visual culture of the farmers\u2019 protests in India, and we had a very interesting discussion with an artist and curator from South Korea. Another great aspect of studying at OCAD U is that the Art Gallery of Ontario is right next door to the university; profs will sometimes take students there for classes. It is a huge advantage when learning about Canadian artists to be able to swing next door and see their work right in front of you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you involved in extracurricular activities?<\/strong><br \/>The extracurriculars that I participate in mirror the career I\u2019d like to have after graduation. I am the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> coordinator and an editor at the Journal of Visual &amp; Critical Studies. I am also a student monitor at Onsite Gallery, our university\u2019s professional gallery, where I do promotional media and installation and de-installation of exhibits. In the future, I hope to guide exhibition tours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of your professors?<\/strong><br \/>I have amazing things to say about the professors I\u2019ve come to know over the past few years. They are very generous and they bring a wealth of experience in art, academia and even politics and activism. I highly recommend that students seek out connections with the professors they click with; I was able to find a mentor whom I can trust to push me to meet my potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of the school\u2019s administration?<\/strong><br \/>I would suggest that students double-check to see whether they are fulfilling graduation requirements. I have caught small glitches in my schedule that were fixed immediately when I addressed the admin about them. Some classes fill quickly, so it\u2019s good to plan ahead and be attentive. I have always gotten into the courses I\u2019ve wanted.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>PROFILE<\/strong>: <strong>OCAD University | Toronto, Ont. | Founded 1876<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>If I wrote the school motto:<\/strong> \u2018Creativity\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009with a deadline\u2019<br \/><strong>Best place to live:<\/strong> The Annex or Kensington Market<br \/><strong>Best place to study:<\/strong> The Art Gallery of Ontario (OCAD U students get in for free)<br \/><strong>Best campus events:<\/strong> Exhibitions at Onsite Gallery<br \/><strong>Best campus food:<\/strong> Jerk chicken at the Village by the Grange food court<br \/><strong>Best cheap lunch:<\/strong> Trinidadian doubles from Kensington Market<br \/><strong>Best pizza:<\/strong> Pizza Gigi at 4 a.m.<br \/><strong>Best place for a fancy dinner:<\/strong> Spanish tapas at Bar Isabel.
