York University - YU
speciality: Biological Sciences

My time at York University was a mixed but ultimately valuable experience. While the environment can feel large and impersonal at times and requires a lot of self-motivation, it also offered strong academic foundations and opportunities to grow independently. Navigating challenges pushed me to develop resilience, time-management skills, and confidence in advocating for myself. For students who are proactive and self-directed, York can provide meaningful learning experiences and personal growth.

I really liked the way professors teach here their technique and making concepts learn
Specially they have doubt sessions and they also conduct pass student sessions which I think help students who cannot keep up with the grades or find difficult to concentrate on studies

As a current student, my journey at Yorku has been great so far.

I have had amazing courses, which always caught my attention, some were tough but my professors have always been helpful. There are amazing opportunities as a psychology major, to work in research or labs with professors. Yorku’s psychology program also offers difference concentrations to make your interest more specific, and makes you a well-rounded student.

I am very thankful to have meet my math professor at York university, I used to aversion math however now I see math in a completely new light. Her engaging teaching style, coupled with her deep knowledge of the subject. She took the time to explain even the most complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand. As I continued to attend her lectures found myself becoming increasingly fascinated by math.

Uni is literally so unpredictable, it could be hard for some people and easy for the rest. But it’s was tough for me cause I actually thought it would be like college but nah, it wasn’t. The programs are so overwhelming, a lot of course works and assessments to do and little time to complete plus the lectures are so nonchalant.

York is a amazing place to live, learn and explore your true self in finding what you love doing. As someone who studied biology it was very fun to meet new people, make friends, and also meet some outstanding profs in the mean time. By someone who was there for around 5 years or so, I can say that being there is not only going to expand your knowledgeable in what your studying, but open your mind to many things like new program, events, people and so so much more. If I had to rate everything in terms of people, school and those types of things I would all give them a 5 start in being overall amazing. As someone who was scared of university, York helped me get through that.

York University is an amazing school, with great programs and an even greater number of students. One thing I love about York is its great support system for when you don’t know what you are doing. This was very helpful as it was the first I’ve been to a university, the staff are very helpful and the professors are amazing and understand what they are teaching.

Overall, York has a worse reputation than it deserves. The life science programs have really improved, and our facilities are top-notch. We have been recruiting incredible researchers, including Canada Research Chairs, and they have been some of the best Professors I’ve had. Overall, York is a pretty good school.

I like the program I’m currently enrolled in because it allows me to take courses that are related to my field of study and has a clear path of courses for me to pick from to complete my degree. Classwork at York is comparable to any other school in Ontario however some professors at York can be deemed inconsiderate and sometimes rude. The work environment is quite busy and productive. There are many areas where one can go to study and there are also areas for group study or even just for hanging out.

Since my program focuses on movement and how our bodies function, it is very appealing to me. At York University, you will find great professors and some who are not so great. As part of my program requirements, I have to take some sport classes and I have really enjoyed it. In addition, York University has many student organizations that I have enjoyed going to. Since I recently joined them, I have greatly enjoyed how they have increased my perspective and helped me to find out how to be successful in the future.
