Student review [#80884] for Arts and Humanities
at York University - YU

So far, my professors from my program are very nice, and very understanding, which makes us students encouraged to learn from them. They also look like they enjoy their job so that also adds encouragement into learning. However, I think sometimes there would be problems regarsing using big words that as English as my second language, would affect my understandings during our lessons. Topics are also too advanced. As an immigrant, there are some topics in the west that I have still haven’t heard of or haven’t known it in details. So, there would be topics that I would feel left out, as some professors would just think that it’s common knowledge for students to know the topic is about. Sometimes they would go into detail, but half of the time they would just go straight to assuming we already have knowledge about a very western centric topic.

Regarding to university in general, I would say that it’s really great that students would hold events that are welcome to other people with different cultures and ethnicities. However, I know an club that struggles to promote and hold events because they lack funds. In addition, I would hear experiences from my friends about how difficult some of their professors are, especially when it comes to grading their works and how they teach in class. Hopefully, there would be evalutions when it comes to professors. (If there hasn’t been one. So far, I haven’t heard about it yet.)
