I was on exchange so i wanted to see and do as much as possible. Toronto is an amazing place to go out and the location is perfect if you want to travel: i went to Montréal, Québec, London, Algonquin Park, NY, Chicago, Boston...

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
York is a great university. The trouble is that the location is pretty far from downtown. One hour by bus and subway.

It was pretty good.It depends on what you want. On campus you can have free acess to the library, to the computers...But it is very far from downtown and all the cultural life !

Well I would recommend kenssington market which is one of the best thing in Toronto with chinatown. Both are full of smells, colors,people...The beaches are great to and you can get a boat to visit the islands...There are so many things to do in Toronto ! But you need to get DOWNTOWN !!!

Living in residence was an amazing experience. It is so much different than French campuses. I got to live like a regular Canadian guy and that is what I wanted. There were only very few cons.
