OCAD University

Digital Futures is as much of a scam as it sounds like, huge waste of time and money. Not only is the program actively "experimental" (read: the profs are as clueless about the courses as you are) but all they do is give you project deadlines and do one of three things: either expect you to do the learning yourself or tell you to outsource half the work to AI (they do not teach you how to do the other half). Once in a blue moon you'll get the *fun* professor who actually teaches you how to do something. I have a degree in "knowing how to watch YouTube a bunch." The AI grift is not confined to DIGF and in fact seems to be university wide. In the electives I was taking to Actually Learn Something, they were shilling AI tools there. Back when NFTs hadn't crashed yet some profs were shilling those in class too.

The OCAD University building is a vibrant beacon of creativity that brings immense joy to its neighborhood. Its striking design, with its bold colors and unique architectural elements, is a visual delight that instantly uplifts the surrounding area. The building's presence serves as a constant reminder of the artistic energy and innovation that flows through the neighborhood. As a hub for aspiring artists, designers, and thinkers, OCAD University fosters a sense of community and inspiration, creating a positive ripple effect that extends beyond its walls. It's truly a source of joy and pride for the neighborhood. #CreativeHub #InspiringArchitecture #OCAD

On our tour of Toronto we were shown the daring futuristic building of the Sharp Centre for Design. It is located 3 blocks to the west of University Ave and easily accessed from the downtown Toronto (about 10 minutes' walk from our hotel, Shangri La Toronto). Today, the building inaugurated in 2004, is a widely recognizable city landmark. The structure resembling an intergalactic spaceship, is a box, notably elevated from the ground and supported by pillars varying in colors and their angles. The feat of the modern architectural thought, the Sharp Centre for Design, is the joint work of the famous British architect Will Alsop in partnership with Toronto-based Robbie/Young + Wright Architects. The design received many influential awards and praises of the world architectural and engineering organizations. Looking to the south, down McCaul St, enjoy the view of the CN Tower. Please bear in mind that this amazing building doesn't require a tour, admission, or exploring its interior; it can be simply viewed as a stop of your tour of Toronto.

Beautiful campus, wonderful location and a gorgeous piece of Toronto's downtown core. The campus has a beautiful park that makes you feel you are both within the city and provides an escape at the same time.

Run like crap. Students pay for two courses only given one. Good profs let go for money reasons. Dropped portfolio requirements so it’s a joke.
