- The faculty is experienced and industry practitioners.
- The way courses are structured such that passing is very easy but acing is difficult.
- Learning experience involves case method, class discussions, opportunity to develop soft skills.
Dislikes
- The school has low diversity.
- Not enough focus on group activities outside of school work. Schulich MBA ropes in only pro sports individuals.
- Low utilization of ancillary business that support the York University ecosystem as a means for intermingling.
The experience was enriching and pro academics. The B-School maintains a diversity in age groups even though the diversity in nationalities is fairly limited so international exposure is lacking to an extent. Overall a student expects to attend one event a month with the diverse cohort. Overall I would rate the experience 8 on 10.

- Canada is immigration friendly.
- Schulich is good in all domains of studies and the few of the faculty members are top-notch. Schulich has a good brand across the country and is picking up wide acclaim as the best place for entrepreneurship.
Dislikes
- In terms of diversity, Schulich is lagging behind as almost 80% of the student strength here is from Asia (especially India). This makes a huge negative cultural impact in terms of studies and work culture.
Overall it is a decent experience. While the amenities are fine, I feel everything is left to the student to find their own job or progressing in their career. I wanted more diversity and better economic opportunities. If given a chance, I would try for a US university.

- One of the top 3 business schools in Canada.
- "Flexibility and variety of options to specialize. Mostly great professors. Teach things from basics. Constantly introducing new courses and curriculum. Strategic Field Study with an actual company (Thesis project)"
Dislikes
- Few courses still deal with decade old case studies. Few of the interesting courses are restricted to specialized master's programs and are not open to MBA. Career development center needs a lot of improvement, especially individualized attention, guidance and mentorship.
Experience with Schulich was great. Helped me build my network in Canada. Fulfilled my primary objective of gaining knowledge on different business functions. It would be better if there was individualized attention and mentorship as few other colleges like Rotman does. Curriculum is mostly easy or not very difficult. I observed that some US business schools teach similar courses that have higher difficulty level with more contemporary cases, math and techniques.

- I wanted to pivot to business from a tech background. This course (MiM) offers entry level people an opportunity without having much work experience (2 years) to have a master's degree. The brand name Schulich is quite big, and that attracted me to apply to this institution.
- Schulich School of Business is under York University. As it is a big brand name. I really like the offerings provided to the students, like the faculties, engaging curriculum. Schulich has a strong Alumni network that greatly helps with career opportunities.
- The location of the university is great; it is in Toronto but not in the middle of the city, so it is not very expensive. There are multiple opportunities to look for, which can be missing in a lot of small places and cities.
Dislikes
- One thing I like about my college is the lack of diversity. Although the professors are very good and knowledgeable, the cohort has a majority of Indian students. Due to increasing inflation and other economic factors, studying abroad, especially at universities, has become very difficult and requires a lot of financial resources. The accreditation of this college is very well known in Canada but not in other countries. Very limited opportunities in that case.
I have had a transformative and enriching experience overall at this university. I was able to explore new interests and grow personally and intellectually thanks to the diverse academic programs, dedicated professors, and vibrant campus life. Participating in extracurricular activities and making lifelong friends have been highlights of my journey. I am well-prepared for my future career and grateful for the opportunities provided by this institution.

- Awesome teachers, great study resources and materials, good lectures, fair assessments, great atmosphere, good transportation, good set of peers, constant feedback, easy to cope curriculum, good school life balance.
Dislikes
- Dicey on value for money, at least my course. I really can’t say much since I attended it virtually due to Covid-19 so school of continuing studies, York University was pretty much a great place to start my journey in Canada.
Overall, it was great learning experience with enough time left to pursue other opportunities and also it was good to have a base on their way of doing things before joining the workforce.

- It’s diversity and it’s well known professors along with the fact that it’s famous for holding events all year round. It’s easier to make friends and expand your horizons along with gaining experience if you talk to the professors .
- I like that it’s diverse with top professors who are always willing to help and answer your questions along with variety of events happening all year round which gives a lot of opportunities for international students to make friends .
Dislikes
- "I dislike that it is super unsafe . Recently I got an email about a stabbing case which happened ON CAMPUS , on the route that I often take . However, Yorku has taken help from police for the safety of students but it still doesn’t take away the fact that university is unsafe at night . "
Perfect amount of fun and studies . Honestly , it all depends on the students . The professors try their best and are always there for anyone who needs help with the course and some will also be there for u if u need them in general . It can be a little hard to make friends initially but Yorku provides a lot of facilities and hosts a lot of events which can help people know more about campus and make friends .

- It was 4th largest university in Canada. And education system was great comparative to the universities in my home country.
Very good experience in my life. Modern and comfortable teaching system that I never experienced before.
Likes
- Because of the stability that Canada provides for immigrants and also because this is quite an economical course in such a high ranked university
- It is top ranked university in Canada and offers a lot of opportunities along with extra-curricular activities. There are a lot of societies which helps to know people from different backgrounds and the faculty is really good.
Dislikes
- There could be more focus on career networking events. The course curriculum can be made more interactive, even after being enrolled in in-campus program, certain classes are moved to virtual, which should not be the case
The overall experience has been so good so far. The course curriculum is really good and faculties are well versed with their subjects and helpful. There are a lot of clubs, societies gym activities and extracurricular to participate in, apart from the work.
This is a very good institution for Mathematics and the other better Universities I applied to took too long to accept my application, so by the time they did, I had already enrolled in this University.
