In their own words — what students said about classes and academic life at York U:

“York University is nice, but we didn’t fully experience campus life since we didn’t live there. The campus is very large, modern, and pleasant, with a lot of facilities. Even though we didn’t spend much time on campus outside of classes, it still felt impressive. One thing I would really recommend is going to an American football game there we didn’t get the chance to do it, but it’s something we would have loved…”

“Campus is nice despite the fact that it was a bit far from the city center. Make sure to take a lot fo time to properly research and plan out the classes and schedule you want. I set mine up to have only 3 days of university, so i could have enough time to explore the city and north america, as well as do less weekly commuting.”

  The campus is big and good. We are 45min/1h from downtown. The registration wasn't easy for me, because I did it in last minute (so my fault). I think I wouldn't pick the same uni again.

  I dont think I would pick the same uni again ngl.. but the campus was great. There's this big mall with a lot of food options close to uni.
