2.1

The cost of living is high in Toronto.

Tips: Their goals must be clearly aligned towards the course. Students should dedicated time to self study as the instructor teaches the overview only. The cost of living is high in Toronto but the part time jobs are hard to get. After graduation, it is really hard to get a job. I would rather recommend students to go for a Masters degree and get their studies done in a year and get a work permit and a domain job.

Likes (Safety): It's fine but North York in itself isn't safe. Especially the intersection of Jane and Finch near the university is the most unsafe place in Toronto. The university takes care of your safety. I don't think safety is really a problem. You should try not to live in North York as the housing isn't good. I would rather suggest finding a house a little far from the main campus. Scarborough, Markham and Richmond Hill are good options.

Dislikes (Value for money): I would rather spend on pursuing Masters and get more credit for the CPA rather than this course. The structure is not designed properly at all. The fee is way too high. Rather I would suggest you to go for Masters in Rock or Smith University or Concordia. If you are planning to do CPA please be prepared for the harsh reality of the Canadian job market. CPA is worth it but the process in itself is lengthy.

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.

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.

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.

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.
