There's a blog at the Maclean's website by a guy named Jeff Rybak about university life, etc. You can check it out
here. He's also got an excerpt from his book
What's Wrong With University here
The guy was a member of the U of T student council in the past and he gives out a lot of practical advice about how university works and some things new students should think about. Not all of it will make you feel warm and bubbly inside, but it is insightful.
This probably sounds like a shameless plug, but oh well. I found the stuff useful.
