I graduated in 2022, and I enjoyed it a lot more than my other major. I didn't find any classes super difficult except syntax, just because drawing trees... can get rough. I personally really loved the sociolinguistics classes! Profs were super wonderful.

I’m only a history minor but I genuinely rlly like the program! The profs are well-versed in their field, the readings aren’t too bad in terms of length (and I major in French lit and minor in religion so I get a fair amount of readings), and you walk away from the courses learning new stuff :)

i legitimately don't think i've had a bad history prof. uoft's library is the third biggest academic library in north america iirc so plenty of really interesting sources to use for your essays as well. classes are super interesting too, i was able to go from southeast asian history to caribbean history to the history of the chinese diaspora across north americas to the history of crime and punishment in early modern europe.

work wise it is pretty manageable: i usually end up having 300-400 pages to read per week and the non-exam essays are usually 800-2000 words long

exam season can get a bit rough but you usually know what you're getting into a solid month in advance, my worst was having to write like 23,000 words across many essays for finals + an in person written essay final but i found it very manageable given the time i had

overall, i love the history program here and highly recommend
