York University - YU
speciality: Sociology

Bad location. Studied at Jane and Finch location more than 10 years ago. Surroundings has safety concerns during nighttime hours.
My major is Economics. Don’t choose this one as it is too general for you to looking for a job. Choose some major more specific or get a certificate or license related to your future job before you graduate.

Overall, I would recommend this university to prospective students. Exams in my program at the Faculty of Health were reasonable and based on course material, and grading was fair when compared to other universities. The aesthetics of the university itself aren’t the best however, almost appearing factory like. Wifi also wasn’t the best with disconnections happening frequently depending on where you were on campus.

I really enjoyed my time at York University studying Liberal Arts. The professors were friendly and actually cared about what you were learning, and there was always something interesting happening on campus. I felt like I could explore different subjects and really grow, both academically and personally. Overall, it was a great experience!

York University has amazing professors with years of experience. Some courses can be a bit repetitive and dry, but it is not difficult to excel (at least in my BA program). There’s always something going on at campus, so it is not hard to include yourself in extracurriculars. The only thing I disliked at York was the politics of the university. It is pretty difficult to express your opinion if you differ from the masses without being immediately ridiculed.

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.

York as the university itself is a great diverse and fun campus. Everything is on campus or around campus. I love how accessible it was to everything. I was in Kin and I loved the programme. Very popular and diverse in terms of courses we can take. The negative was courses was never available.

I like my university based on the diversity of the people I like that we can all share our experience because we have help around us all the time. Things I do not like is how bad the security life is

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.
