i did not attend uni there, amman, Jordan

Academic
Course recommendations
Course outlines are very bad, sometimes with only 2 quizes each worth 20% and a huge final exam worth 60& (due or die!)
In addition to that, the books are very expensive, im talking 160 dollars for one book, with tax thats almost 200. And my personal experiance with the professors over there is bad. Their method of teaching only reading the slides he displays on the overhead projector, thats it! (OFcourse thats related to my experience)

Personal comments
Provide more help for students financially, this school is merciless when it comes to profit. No matter what is wrong with you, or whatever conditions you are in, you Must pay 60% of tution early in the academic year, if not they keep adding interest. And ANOTHER THING IF YOU WANT TO COME TO YORK UNIVERSITY YOU MIGHT AS WELL FORGET ABOUT DRIVING A CAR, their parking enforcment are jerks, tickets left and right, to who?! those student trying to get to class ofcourse. Towing students cars, etc...
I have to tell you most professors i encountered at YORK UNIVERSITY were not very fluent in English, and i sometimes had trouble understanding what they were saying, inaddition to that, all what most of them do is read the slides thats it, no explanations.

Toronto is a great place if you like to go to clubs! Richmond Street and John Street are the best places to go out.
If the weather is nice don't forget to go to the Beaches in the East part of Toronto. If you want to eat at a really cheap price go to Korean Town. To shop go to the Eaton Center or to Queen Street (my favorite street).
