York University - YU
speciality: Linguistics

I am convinced that York University stands out as a premier institution in Toronto. Renowned for its expansive and contemporary campus, the university offers a diverse range of programs spanning multiple majors. York University is distinguished by its comprehensive array of resources in languages and linguistics, further enriching the academic experience for those passionate about these fields.

My opinion of york is very iffy. On one hand, I love the campus, but it is extremely dangerous, most likely due to the fact of the area that it’s in. York is one of the few schools that has my program so I plan on sticking it out, but it definitely has its cons. The lecture halls are nice, and has some nice study spaces around campus but then again, homeless people have been seen urinating in some of our buildings on the floor… they also will sleep on benches inside the buildings. You definitely cannot walk alone on campus, unless you want to get robbed by someone with a gun, or a knife, or be sexually harassed or assaulted! I love York, but it needs to change.
