York is a rollercoaster but it has been a good journey so far. Some classes are hectic, others are awesome. Honestly, I expected less of York university but got to see unexpected side of York. I lowkey like York

York University is a distinguished institution that possesses various attributes that contribute to its excellence, including its high academic standards, stunning campus, modern facilities, and lively student community. The professors, who are highly competent and dedicated to their respective fields, prioritize the welfare and intellectual growth of their students. York University is a university that I wholeheartedly admire and would strongly recommend to anyone.

The best part about Liberal Arts is that is very diverse, and full of impact. Usually, people from my University are often fondly known as activists. Its fun to be in a popular University.

I like my Campus

A lot of the new professors are a little discouraging about how life would be like with this program. Classes are okay. The professors however are all very knowledgeable, questionable choices for TAs though. The best prof in the BSW program is Chris Chapman!

The program was an okay program, the classes were informative about different theories and how we would use them today. The head of the department is good, but he wanders off a lot talking about irrelevant things. The professors are very nice and helpful with helping you understand the material.
Overall I do not think it’s the best program to major in if you’re looking to get a job quickly after graduating.
York University as a whole is a very good school, I love that no matter what you do or who you are there is a community/school associations for you and they are very welcoming.

Aside from a strike for half a year and a pandemic for another my experience at york was a good one. I had some great professors and met some nice people. The school needs some more areas to sit and study. They were always full

I transitioned into York as a transfer student from a different university and I had a great time studying there. I started off as a psychology major but didn’t do very well in my first year. Thankfully, there were many resources at York that allowed me to petition eligible grades off my transcript and seamlessly transitioned into another major that I enjoyed and excelled in. Secondly, as a student with a disability, the professors and the university provided me with many accommodations such as notetaking services, extra time for exams and extension requests that allowed me to participate equitably in the university experience.

There are so many restaurants and cafes on campus to choose from. When it comes to food, the options are endless! What I really like about them is that many cafes like Aroma, Tim Hortons and Starbucks all have lots of seating where you can sip on your coffee or enjoy a small snack while studying.

I do have to note that one of the ‘cons’ about York University is that faculty for contract professors are very likely to strike every three years. It is definitely a deciding factor when it comes to selecting an university but I have fortunately not experienced this during my time at York.

The education I have received has led me to pursue my Masters’s degree. The Schulich School of Business and Osgoode Hall Law School are among the top programs in Canada. Given my very positive experience here, I definitely recommend this school.

I enjoyed that my business program within the social science department was similar so it gave me the opportunity to know my professors and coordinators. I still have great relationships with my professors on LinkedIn. I have great relationships with fellow alumni.

The Concurrent Education (ConEd) program at York is a great opportunity for those aspiring to be teachers. The ConEd program allows you to apply for enrollment in an undergrad degree along with teacher’s college at once, so you don’t have to worry about applying to teacher’s college after completing your undergrad. I would definitely recommend this program for high school students who already know they want to go into teaching!

I am an international student and have attended York for a year thus far and it has been a welcoming experience from students and Professors. The location however, is not ideal as there is not a lot to do in North York compared to downtown Toronto.
