On the Radar is blogUT’s newest column to help you tap into U of T. Through a weekly compilation of blogs, soundbytes, videos, tweets, and quotes by U of T students, I want to encapsulate the student condition. And what better way to see what’s going on in students’ minds than to take a look at their social networks? Check out what’s buzzin’ at U of T with On the Radar!

Ohhhh can’t you just smell the freshness in the air? A brand new school year, a brand new start! Admit it. You’re kind of glad to be back…well, for now at least you are. No worries about readings and deadlines yet but just relishing in the moments you have of seeing your old friends again. Oh and who are you kidding…you’re kind of excited to be back in class again. Wondering if the courses you’re taking will be any good, if the profs will be fun and engaging, checking out the hot guys or gals in the class…it’s okay, no need to deny it!

Twitter’s been buzzing all week with thoughts on the new school year. Have a look at what some people have to say…

So for the good, the bad, and the ugly…here’s to another school year at U of T. Let’s make it the best it can be!

Ahhhh, it’s that time of the year  that we love to hate and hate to love…the dreaded/beloved course selections. I don’t know about you but I’m on the love side. There’ s nothing like planning a fresh new academic year. It’s just so full of hope, optimism, and excitement…free of the crushing weight of readings, labs, exams, and tutorials. It’s the calm before the storm and yes, I love to savour every moment of it.

Unfortunately, ROSI wasn’t so kind to me this year. I’m in my final year of undergraduate studies and got the late 10 AM enrollment time…leaving me on waitlists for courses that I desperately want to take. But alas, that is the life of a U of T student.

Read what other students are tweeting about course enrollment…some were successful, others, well, not so much!

As expected, the G20 has taken over the Twittersphere the past week with users from all ages and walks of life, tweeting about the happenings downtown. Some (okay many) expressed their displeasure and outrage of what went down during the G20, provided live updates, and others even used Twitter to organize protests. So…where were you during the G20 weekend? Did you catch any of the protests? Were you a protester yourself? Let us know!

Yeah, yeah, yeah it’s summer time and if you’re like me at all, you want to push the thought of school out of your head as much as possible. But the reality is that the campus has been buzzing with activity in the past week especially as the dreaded G20 fast approaches and a new batch of graduates attended convocation. Take a look at what some students are saying on Twitter…
