The university section here on Intense Cogitation is intended as a general resource for students who are currently experiencing the university academic life. There are a wide variety of study notes for university students here on Intense Cogitation, and the occasional general post on how to survive. Generally, many of our International Baccalaureate notes apply to the university section, so it might be something that you might also want to check out. :)
Even if you go to a university outside of Canada, we hope that you will find the resources in this section to be helpful in your university journey.
