As course enrollment has just begun, we thought we\u2019d give you a heads up to some of the coolest courses you can find on campus. After you\u2019ve fulfilled all the boring, mandatory classes for your program, how about checking some of these wonderfully weird classes that ALMOST aren\u2019t legitimate academic courses\u2026only they are! Here are 10 unique courses you didn’t know existed at U Toronto!<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n The first one of these unique courses is devoted to studying the legendary, Beatles. You don\u2019t even need to have a musical background, just an interest in spending classes listening to, and watching, videos of the Beatles. So, if you\u2019re a fan of the group, or just think that listening to some great music during class is more likely to keep you awake than another professor lecturing you, this class is for you!<\/p>\n In this class, you\u2019ll get to read epic fantasies full of vampires, monsters, fairies, and magic. It stays specific to this one genre, so if you enjoy fantasy and horror, or are curious about the truth behind the supernatural, consider enrolling in this English class.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n An entire class devoted to the eerie and unbelievable coincidence of two people looking alike? Is that even possible? Surprisingly, there\u2019s a lot to consider when discussing celebrities and their look-alikes, so much so that this special topic continues to be offered year after year. This is probably as close as you\u2019re going to get to a course where you can talk about those in the spotlight, so I\u2019d sign up as soon as possible!<\/p>\n Before you jump at the word \u2018sex\u2019 and add this unique courses to your enrollment cart, remember that this is still a philosophy course. It\u2019s not like you\u2019re going to be discussing Plato and Hobbes\u2019 favorite positions, but it\u2019s bound to be interesting to discover the biological, psychological and ethical reasons behind the crazy things we do in the name of love (*cough* SEX! *cough*)<\/p>\n This seminar is offered by Victoria College where you get to delve into the deeper meaning behind a variety of different kinds of puzzles. If you\u2019re a geek at heart, take this course to be able to learn about puzzles all the way from ancient cultures to modern day.<\/p>\n This pharmacology class doesn\u2019t require any prerequisites, and can teach you all the delightful ways that drugs affect you. It doesn\u2019t hurt to stay informed and understand the recreational activities you or your fellow peers engage in, so why not get a credit for it?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You spend all day on your phone and laptop, browsing through various social media platforms, and now they\u2019ve even created a course devoted to learning about this! In this unique course, you can learn about how your favourite apps like Facebook or Snapchat affect the society you live in.<\/p>\n This course is most likely to be reserved to those with an aptitude for English, as an application requires 12-15 pages of your original writing. However, if you enjoy writing or hope to pursue a career in this field in the future, what better way to get there than enrolling in a class that focuses purely on your creative side?<\/p>\n This unique course is one of the four courses offered by UC One that really integrate learning into the city you live in; you\u2019ll travel across Toronto discovering how theatre and the performing arts are intertwined into our city. If a conventional classroom course doesn\u2019t sound appealing to you, try out this hands-on course!<\/p>\n This is a first year seminar about robots. ROBOTS. Of all of the unique courses, this one has to be the coolest. You\u2019ll get to explore a few different disciplines in this course, looking at human vision, computational thinking and modelling robots. Let me stress once again: ROBOTS!<\/p>\n As course enrollment has just begun, we thought we\u2019d give you a heads up to some of the coolest courses you can find on campus.
