Student Testimonials at our Events
Incoming students
"My best experience at York University is discovering a new aspect of university, especially life on campus. Indeed, it is very huge, and you can eat, do groceries, go to the dentist in the campus, and it is very useful. I really enjoy the courses I took, even if I didn’t like them when I study them in France, I have learnt a new way of study, I use to not listen in class, but in York, I’ve learnt to, and it will help me in the future. I really like Faculty of Science, the teachers I had were very good, I really like the way of learning, it changes from France, indeed, we are “forced” to study our lessons for midterms or assignments, so it helps us assimilate better, which is not the same in my home institution. I feel like I’ve more understand the subject here than in France."

"My best experience at YorkU would be the coffee breaks arranged by York International as that is when I got the chance to meet people from all parts of the world.
The experience of learning about another culture was truly the most meaningful thing I brought with me from my study at YorkU. The chance for me to make so many friends from different parts of the world also helps me broaden my scope of the world. In turn, it also helps me appreciate the little things I overlook in my home country.
York University truly has some of the most diverse crowd of students, beyond race and cultures. It is a place where one can truly be exposed to different communities if one so seeks them out.
I also had the chance to study various Chemistry course in the Faculty of Science and the course content are highly relevant and engaging, especially CHEM 4080."

"I’ve met people from all across the world in my exchange and get to learn so much new culture and food. The most memorable one was trying out Ethiopian food for the first time, it was really amazing, and to have my Ethiopian friend explaining what everything is, how it’s done back at his home just adds to the experience like no other."
