The school itself is very unique.Bright
The school itself is very unique. Some of the profs are very available to help, others seem to hide their contact info making it impossible to reach them. If you plan on coming to York, know that the school/campus (from what I've experienced) is safe. Now... the reasons I'm not fond of this school, is because how I've been treated by the faculty. I was a transfer student from another university, and thought I'd get into the same program as before. I was wrong but thought it wouldn't be that hard to fix. Even though it was still the same subject, it wasn't the same degree as before. And now I have to work very hard to get that title back. I also decided that I wanted to switch majors. So I went to that subject's department only to be told I only have 1 transferable credit (i have 2 years of post-secondary under my belt. There is no way I only have 1 credit). So I argued and argued until someone finally came to help me. I had way more than 1. But I still have to jump through hoops to get into the other major. I won't even be able to apply to switch for another year.. and even at that, I'm not guaranteed to get in. So I could quite possible be wasting my time and money to do all these courses that may not even lead to something. I do not like this school, and had I known half the things I know now, I would've NEVER transferred here.

Question
In terms of social life, York is decent.Not so bright
In terms of social life, York is decent. In terms of education it fails. Some profs didn't even speak English properly! And they are all about politics and not about effectiveness. Not a single day was spent about how my job might look like because they know they are not preparing us for jobs. After graduating, I left like I got tossed in to the real world with a huge INTEREST RIDDEN debt. Schulisch business school and Osgoode law school are the only 2 branches of this university should be considered. Make sure you do your research....
