- I like how some professors paid attention to all students
- I had a good and difficult time but overall it was a good experience.
Dislikes
- Some faculty were not co-operative at all.
- No placement help were given by the faculty.
Campus Life
- The campus is huge. There are events that take place, with a rec room, accommodation for students and everything.
Accommodation
- Yes, I did some research beforehand, looking through kijiji, facebook marketplace, rentals.ca, joined whatsapp groups.
- My monthly rent was 800 as it was a private room including utilities in york village.
Likes
- Great faculty and amazing Infrastructure( Big classrooms and halls). The university is so big it took me a whole week to navigate.
- Technology ( we are taught on such big screens )
- It literally has everything. So many outlets of food, a walk-in clinic (doctor), ATM’s , libraries , a very small lake, greenery (Very beautiful)
Dislikes
- Extra-Curricular activities( I haven’t been presented with any clubs and opportunities in which I could take part in)
- York is very boring, a typical all theory university and no fun and experiences.
- Some professors have given me a hard and bad time unnecessarily.
Campus Life
- There are 3 main campuses of York university. One is Keele, Glendon and Markham. I am in Keele campus. There are many spots to visit like York lanes, a small lake , Tim Hortons mostly everywhere. I honestly haven’t been a part of any extracurricular activities because we are not told about it or informed.
- My university has many beautiful libraries, a proper walk-in clinic in which we students get free consultations via the guard me health card that york gives us.
- I have hardly seen York organizing fests or events because they haven't done anything for us till now. Though the university has an amazing gym and pool and playing activities.
Accommodation
- I opted for an off-campus accommodation because it's definitely cheaper and affordable than the on-campus. I found my place here at Kijiji. My monthly rent is $550 for a shared room. I have wifi, laundry included in my rent.
- Major challenges were legitimacy. A lot of people in Canada take loads of money from students and leave them stranded before they even arrive. I had my relative here in Canada who went for a check of the accommodation before I made it final.
- There are very few chances of finding accommodation through Facebook marketing but try your luck mainly on Kijiji. There are genuine people on this website. I found my roommate here. My place is just 40 mins away from the York university by bus. Many students Come from Brampton, Mississauga, North York and also many reside in York village.
Likes
- I liked the supportive learning environment at my university.
Dislikes
- One of the things I disliked was the curriculum of the courses, it was pretty basic and easy, did not really add a lot of value to my knowledge.
Campus Life
School of Continuing Studies has one allocated building in the York University Keele Campus. It is a big building with nice infrastructure and big class rooms with projectors. The students of School of Continuing Studies also have the access to the Library of York University and the Tait McKenzie Centre which has all the recreational activities like gym, swimming pool etc.
Accommodation
I have been staying in a private room in Mississauga, paying 800 CAD/month. A student can easily get a shared accomodation for about 400-600 CAD/month.
Likes
- Good program and under budget plus good location easy to travel since subway at the university to ise plus bus standes and housing is also good plus food
- I like my colleges infrastructure and how is it was to travel around Toronto due to travel facilities around campus. Also the food available there is very good since there are alot of options and it is cost effective. Also walmart is very for buying groceries and online groups for finding housing is very helpful there.
Dislikes
- Nothing everything is good except from snow that can be very handful and not good. Try layering and keep a helathy diet. Plus carry multi vote with you since you don’t get many sunlight during winters and it gets night around 4:30 pm also there is take care of your food since there is chances you can loose wait there due to walking in classes.
Campus Life
I didn’t do that extracurricular activities but campus life is good good restaurants on campus plus campus life is very good with events and like frosh where you can make friends within courses plus the housing is very good and efficient
Accommodation
Average rentals is 850-1100 in the york village plus depending on the room you want also the facilities buildings are very good and tge library is very big with very good quite spaces and interactive spaces where you can work in groups to for projects
Likes
- It had the course I wanted to do and I wanted to transfer from my existing University of Waterloo. University of Waterloo is very hard.
- I really liked the exposure I got being a student in one of the most esteemed and diverse university in Canada. I learned a lot about different cultures, nationalities, and society in general. Academically stimulating discussions and work opportunities kept us on our toes. I improved my communication skills and learned a lot about my subject of choice. Leaning to live alone and be comfortable with yourself is the key to mental peace. Giving time to our mental health and exercise was preached by every uni counselor and senior.
Dislikes
- I hated that the academic stress got too much and we let it interfere with our peace. I also hated the extreme competitiveness of the all the international students. I disliked the gap in communication and underlying discrimination caused by our Indian accents. Even other Indian students are rude to you, if you are not up to date with the slang, or the local culture. We have to put in a lot of effort to fit in, which causes a lot of stress.
Campus Life
Campus life at the University of Waterloo is very depressing and tough. The clubs and student council events try their best to make students feel at home and involve them in activities, but overall academic pressure is too much. On the other hand, York University has a very diverse array of activities, and the Academic Pressure is not too much. York also provides a good balance between events on Campus as well as having fun in the City.
Accommodation
All first-year students are recommended to stay in the in-campus University Residence. The in-camp residents are amazing at the University of Waterloo. Very comfortable living spaces, with adequate facilities for sports, gym, and study areas. The food is very good, with a lot of different options for all types of dietary preferences. When I was at York University, I lived in an apartment with 3 other people. The rent was $1000 CAD.
Campus Life
Campus life is pretty happening. We have clubs like marketing association clubs, supply chain and operations management club, case analysis club and more. We have Scott Library. There we get cheap print outs. We have TAIT Mackenzie center for sports and recreational activities.
Accommodation
I am living in a bachelor apartment on campus. I pay 1,100 CAD as rent.
Campus Life
Our university is so happening we organize many events under different clubs and organizations. We have game rooms , a library, a gym and many more.
Accommodation
During my university, I used to live with my friends in a 2 bhk apartment with rent of 2400 per month without utilities
Likes
- It was very close to me and not much of a commute. The program itself was very easy and offered a lot of scopes.
Campus Life
The university offers a lot of clubs and they help with CV. Along with events and EC.
Accommodation
I didn’t need to apply.
Likes
- MBA was a stepping stone to my career to pivot into strategy sector and Schulich has been a school famous for strategy consulting sector
- The brand name associated with the school is something i love about. The school has some amazing courses taught by industry leaders from different countries. These professors have over 15-20 years of industry wide experience before they set their foot in teaching
Dislikes
- The school is academically rigorous which sometimes is good however might be a burden for students applying for Fulltime/ Part time jobs. The University is a little away from downtown region of Toronto where most of the companies are located
Campus Life
York provides dearth of resources to students starting from books, newspapers access and what not. Campus has its own housing along with wifi and utilities which comes under fees
Accommodation
The average rental expenditure for university housing is around 800-1400 CAD which includes wifi utilities etc. These ranges consist of single as well as sharing options.
Likes
- Its reputed business school in Canada. Also, the location in Toronto which is financial city of Canada.
- Curriculum and team work in assignments was good part of the master program. Built good relations while doing team work in projects. This program also holds monthly industry sessions, which help students to gain knowledge about various fields in finance.
Dislikes
- Not much diversity as lot of students are Chinese in class. Its hard to socialize with them. Also, university doesn't help you to get placed in company after completion of course. For international students, it's really competitive to get the job after Masters.
Campus Life
Since masters finance is 1 year program, there are not much extracurricular activities. However, student can participate in MBA games, or join fitness centre etc. in the campus.
Accommodation
York university has student apartments which they can book in advance.
