York University- Toronto

in ontario, the biggest hills are the garbage dumps.

york is a good school but its fuckin ugly and in the middle of Nowhere.

concrete jungle.  a lot of minorities.  near a bad neighborhood.

pretty girls.


thats just my impression from going to the campus for an hour or two to write an invigilated exam. 

school was out at the time.

Haha, I don't go there but I used to live in Toronto... the best bet you'd have for skiing is driving 1h45min to Blue mountain or MSLM. Or other smaller hills...... but ... ya know how that can be.

I'm from toronto and have been to the campus quite a few times, and what he says about the campus is quite right from my impression of it.  South of the campus is a pretty gritty neighbourhood, and north is a fairly industrial
It's not really in Toronto, it's at the very north end which means if you want to live close to the down town core of toronto it's around an hour or an hour and a half public transit ride depending on where abouts you are living.
Of the three people that I know who went there, two of them despised it mainly due to the travel time they had to deal with each day, the third was indifferent to it never really enjoyed there experience but didn't hate it either.
I know that they do have some really good programs at the school and if you do attend live on campus and if you don't want to live on campust, a car would be clutch, plus a car would allow you to get in as much skiing as possible with Mount St. Louis about aprx fifty minutes north of campus and blue mountain is about an hour and a half.

DONT DO IT!

why not?

I dont know exactly where york is, but toronto is a very fun city.
Ive lived here since i was 3 or 4 and theres always something fun to do.
as for skiing, blue mountain or MSLM are your best bets. there around 2 hrs away and they have decently good parks.

screw the east coast school
get a slighty less prestigious pedigree but a vastly superior experience on west coast at UBC or SFU where you can ride real mountains.  whistler pass is only $400 as a student.  plus there are 3 local hills.  plus baker cross the border.  plus numerous other interior hills.  and the dope grows better here.
