4.2

Easily approachable management and faculty. Studying in university has it's perks.

Tips: I didn't feel much of a cultural shift when I arrived at York University, perhaps because so many of the students are from India. I didn't receive a scholarship, and I don't know how to apply for one. But if you have a good academic record in your home country, you can contact the college by email and they will respond. I am generally satisfied with the university, but I am not happy with the course content. I expected a lot more than they delivered. The country is decent, but there is some racism. Immigrants from India have achieved a lot here, but a few of them are spoiling the culture by breaking certain laws.

Likes (Indian Food): I haven't eaten a lot outside, but I have been to a few Indian restaurants or cafes. The food options are great, and the taste is too. However, don't compare the prices with Indian currency, or you won't choose the dish because the prices are set according to Canadian standards, not Indian. I prefer eating homemade food.

Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs are quite limited and hard to get if you don't have any strong references or connections with someone already working. Off-campus opportunities also require good networking skills and strong references but off-campus is easier to apply for the role.

International teaching and research university.

Tips: First of all it is great university for further studies. Prepare yourself before joining the college. Do research on college and its records. Also, look at expenses from start to end. Grab scholarships and get some help from admitted students so that you won't face problems there.

Likes (Safety): The student life at York University is great. First of all the diverse campus will make you comfortable. There are many cultural events which will not let you feel homesick. There are many cultural and literary clubs. Sports are the main attraction. Games are held every month. I have been experiencing a great student life.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The faculty of York university is so good. You will see diversity. Some Indian faculty will be teaching you. Our department's faculty is great. They are so frank and helpful. You won't get doubts and the teachers are so motivated that will guide you on the right way to do things in a different country. In conclusion, the faculty is great in York University.

York University experience - Pros and cons.

Tips: If you're considering attending York University, you should know that you'll get some great perks after you enroll, including free LinkedIn and Microsoft subscriptions. To get the most out of your time at York, try to network with other students and join events and seminars. You'll also want to interact with your professors, as they can guide you in the right direction.

Likes (Safety): The campus is safe and secure, and you can walk around at night without being bothered. The security system is good, and there's an app that can help you in case of an emergency. The library is open until midnight, so you can study safely there as well.

Dislikes (Internships): I'm finding it difficult to find an internship. The job market is down, and the college doesn't provide any guidance. If you're considering coming here, do your research first. You'll need to find your own connections and resources.

Post-Graduate Certificate in Advanced Professional Accounting - Batch of 2023

Offered by York University

It's an amazing college and it focuses on each student the way it is meant to be.

Tips: There was a bit cultural shift when I moved from India to Canada. Canada is known for its multi-cultural diversity and with this different cultures bring in a different form of living style and their own festivals. The good thing is we have all kinds of food available here.

Likes (Post study jobs): Many companies offer work visas. Accountant roles have been offered to students with a salary of $70,000 CAD. Most companies give you the position of supervisor or Project manager because both of the position comes under NOC-B jobs, so it'll be helpful for the student to get his Permanent Residence.

Dislikes (Safety): The parking space is small. We have safety workshops for women on self-defence. Counselling and support services. Escort services for physically disabled students and they have their own choice of schedule which helps them to cope with studies the way they want.

Master of Human Resources Management - Batch of 2025

Offered by York University

3.8

The faculty is supportive and we have flexible schedule.

Tips: York University is a renowned university in Toronto. Before coming, please be ready to accept the cultural change. In Canada, people are more polite and kind. They are open-minded, helpful, and nonjudgemental. I did not get any scholarships. There was an application fee to apply for the course. Studying as an international student makes you more independent, and decisive and provides opportunities towards your career.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members at my university are really helpful and good. There are different requirements for different subjects and it is based on the faculty, so some conduct exams and some don't they prefer practical assignments and all. They are more open-minded and allow students to prioritize their tasks.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Nowadays, the job market in the healthcare sector is booming in Canada. Canada is referring to skilled workers such as welders, mechanics, and painters. They also prefer French-speaking candidates in some provinces like Montreal.
