I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Overall, it was a great stay. Choose your courses carefully so that you don't get overwhelmed with all the work. Live downtown, maybe share a place with other students.

“So, so. Cleanliness is the main problems in residence. Second is neighbors.”

Linden

Canada, Undergraduate
, 2018

Overall

It is coming towards the end of my first year at York University. The first term was fun and entertaining. I had problems with a specific teacher, but I am not saying names to respect their privacy. The second term was nice, meeting new students, house dons, and the people who clean the washrooms, empties the garbage, and other stuff. But, when I returned to campus from a visit with parents on March 31, I was so disgusted with the washrooms, sinks, showers, and when their is no soap in the soap dispensers for more than a week, there is a problem. I never seen a single house cleaner since that date. I understand they have a hard job, but for my specific floor, the washrooms and common room has been a disaster. It's so filthy, I do not feel comfortable living in residence.

Pros

Friendly students, friendly staff for the most part

Cons

Cleanliness of residence floor
