Some of my best experiences have been related to working there. I\u2019m happy to have gained writing experience and have especially enjoyed interviewing university staff about the groundbreaking research they are doing. Another highlight has been taking elective courses at the School of the Arts, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a>, Performance and Design, including one called Making Media, which has led me to interesting assignments such as creating soundmaps and single-photo stories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you involved in extracurricular activities?<\/strong><br \/>I would love to be involved in more extracurricular activities, but the pandemic has moved all operations online, and I find the experience of participating virtually in clubs less desirable than being on campus and in person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of your professors?<\/strong><br \/>The professors are <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly approachable, but they can take a long time to respond when you have questions. Sometimes they redirect you to their teaching assistants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of the school\u2019s administration?<\/strong><br \/>While I have found the school\u2019s administrative staff to be friendly and helpful, students must take the time and initiative to ensure that documents get processed properly and on time. It is best to apply for things such as program or course changes as soon as possible because there are often specific processes to complete. The waitlist and permissions processes are long and tedious and require too much correspondence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is off-campus life like in Toronto?<\/strong><br \/>The subway takes you directly from the campus to downtown Toronto, which is very busy and lots of fun. There are all kinds of things to do in the city: shopping, eating in just about every kind of restaurant you can think of, going to the theatre and nightclubs and, of course, visiting campy tourist attractions (here\u2019s lookin\u2019 at you, CN Tower). Because Toronto is a major connecting city, it\u2019s also easy to get out of the city. You can take a three-hour bus ride for a weekend in Niagara Falls or hop on a plane to go home for winter holidays.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>PROFILE<\/strong>: <strong>York University | Toronto, Ont. | Founded 1959<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Best place to live:<\/strong> On campus, Calumet and Bethune are most students\u2019 favourite residences; however, I think it\u2019s better to live closer to downtown to get the full experience of the city<br \/><strong>Best place to study:<\/strong> Upper floors of the Scott Library<br \/><strong>Best campus events:<\/strong> YorkFest<br \/><strong>Best campus food:<\/strong> Pretty much anything in York Lanes<br \/><strong>Best cheap lunch:<\/strong> Living Well Express<br \/><strong>Best pizza:<\/strong> Pizza Studio<br \/><strong>Best place for a fancy dinner:<\/strong> Yu Seafood at Yorkdale<br \/><strong>Best giveaway:<\/strong> Free tuition contest, open only to first-year students<br \/><strong>Best bar for hanging out:<\/strong> The Absinthe Pub and Coffee Shop or Timbers Lodge Social Grill<br \/><strong>Best live music venue:<\/strong> nuvo Toronto or the Underground<br \/><strong>Best hangover breakfast: <\/strong>Good Morning Friends or Berries &amp; Blooms<br \/><strong>Best weekend activity:<\/strong> Exploring downtown on the weekends<br \/><strong>The thing that surprised me most about the school:<\/strong> Courses such as Sex, Drugs and Theatre, and Extraterrestrial Life<br \/><strong>If I could change one thing about the school:<\/strong> Update the course enrolment system<\/p>\n<div class=\"under-article-widget-nl\">\n<p class=\"under-article-widget-title\">Looking for more?<\/p>\n<p class=\"under-article-widget-description\">Get the best of <em>Maclean&#8217;s<\/em> straight to your inbox.
