    York University - View from Markham Pan Am Centre

    York University has a Markham campus. As Lizzo would say, it's about damn time! It welcomed its…read morefirst group of students in September 2024. As both an alumna and a benefactress of York University, I got updates from the university on the construction and completion, and everything else for the last few years. During the pandemic, alumni got to tune into details about this construction of the Markham campus. Even Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti was on the call, thrilled to have this campus focus on technology and entrepreneurship, while stimulating the city's economy with more jobs in the heart of downtown Markham. Both undergraduate and master degree programs are available here. They are mainly technology and entrepreneurship programs. Markham is known for a bunch of high-tech and life sciences companies and startups. It makes sense that this campus would have programs that would make the transition to these sectors easier for graduates. I graduated with a computer science and math degree. I would have been happy with a short commute northbound if this campus existed when I was an undergrad. That's life, though. You see improvements for future students, which makes me content for change and opportunities. This building is located on the southeast corner of Enterprise and University Boulevards. I have not see anyone park on the street. There are a couple of parking lots nearby that require payment. The daily maximum is $15. It's not horrible, but it can add up, especially if you're a student. The building is modern and cheerful. I missed the open house yesterday. However, I can tell that students find it comfortable. No matter when I drive by, there are students studying or hanging out on the main floor of this building. Student residences are also in this building. I feel that there are a few more touches that need to be done to the entrance facing Enterprise Boulevard. This campus is a nice addition to Markham and its downtown area. I hope that I'll be able to check it out soon. I won't have the same connecting dropping by this location as I do at both the Keele and Glendon campuses, but I welcome getting to know it as an alumna. (439)

    York University is my alma mater. I split my time between the main campus and Glendon College…read more I recently learned that alma mater refers to the educational institution where you completed your undergraduate degree, and not your graduate degree. I have no idea what you call the place where you got your master's degree. If you know, please share. I didn't learn that during my time doing any of my degrees... haha! I recently returned to York to take part in CRAM's inaugural learning sessions that were held at four different universities in Toronto. The panel discussion about Regent Park and the music program for youth was inspiring. The soundpainting was completely unexpected, but mesmerizing to hear, watch, and learn. These learning sessions were free and were held at Vari Hall. Even though it has been ages since I revisited the main campus, which has changed a ton, I got thrown back to when I was an undergraduate student. For this event, only the single-stall, unisex washrooms were available on the main floor of Vari Hall. Considering that there are a decent number of people attending these sessions, there weren't enough washrooms to accommodate everyone. Instead, I walked over to Ross Building (it's connected to Vari Hall), where the women's washroom has six stalls. I am assuming that there are an equal number of stalls for men. It's a knowledge advantage that former and current York students have over folks who are visiting the campus for the first time. There should have been a sign pointing folks to other washroom facilities. The campus has improved a ton since I was an undergraduate. There are far more places to eat. It isn't narrowed down to the old food court and whatever is edible at York Lanes. There is a decent variety of foods, from Thai to East Indian. There's even a Shopsy's! York Lanes also has a Shoppers Drug Mart. When I needed over-the-counter medication or snacks as a student, I had to get some off-campus. When I left at around 10:30 pm, there were a few eateries, Second Cup, and Shoppers all open at York Lanes. Nice! I like the York University subway station. It's modern, pleasing to the eye, and convenient. I used to take two buses to get to to my classes and wished that I had this subway station back in the day. Instead, I ended up learning the art of studying and napping on public transit, which has served me well over the years. I never lived in residence, so my experience is likely different and more positive than those who deem the campus boring. I did an undergraduate degree in computer science and math. I did a number of math classes at Vari Hall and Ross Building. For one of the CRAM sessions, I was in the same lecture hall where I took Linear Algebra parts 1 and 2 one summer. Gone are the desks with pull-out chairs. Instead, stadium seating with moving tray tables have been installed. As technology has evolved, so have the lecterns! The old, basic one in Vari Hall A has been replaced with a massive one with ports and cables. I had a flood of memories the other night. I had a wonderful undergraduate experience at York University. I made decent friendships with both peers and professors. I learned so much about the domains that I majored in as well as the person that I grew to become. York University paid for some of my degree and I am thankful for the finanical help. I have been fortunate to pay it forward now that I am an alumna. After the sessions were over, I took a walk around the Common area. I liked the small arches that were cheerfully lit. The stroll was nice on a warm Spring evening. Upgrades have come a long way. Well done! I need to remind myself to drop by more often. It's nice to reminisce and see all the exciting changes that have happened at my alma mater. I also want a York University sweatshirt after window-browsing the merchandise at the York University Bookstore. (125)

    As a returning part time student, I would say that my time spent at Humber wasn't wasted. There…read moreare many programs to choose from... Anything from funeral services to culinary management. When it comes to food choices, the possiblilies are endless! The culinary program also has students prepare meals availible for purchase. I always opted for the simple couscous salad or Hawaiian pasta. For something more commercially prepared, there is always Terriyaki Experience and others to choose from. In the food court, there is a self serve area for Tim Hortons. Fulltime students have the option for free membership to the gym. It is well equipped and has its peak busy hours, so hours of availability on certain machines may vary. What's cool is that they have an on site spa where students from the program itself can perform various services under the supervision of a professional in the field. I believe an eyebrow wax clean up is approx. $7.00. Linx bar is located at the back behind the JF wing. There are pool tables as well.

    This place serves two separate institutions (Humber & Guelph-Humber) and two campuses (North and…read moreLakeshore) and trust me when I say inefficient doesn't even begin to cover it! Yesterday was a perfect storm... Metro passes are made available at a discount price through the bookstore the 27th of every month. This month the 27th was a Saturday so Monday afternoon, everyone and their mother went to the bookstore to get their pass! I hate lineups just as much as the next guy, but what I really hate is inefficient lineups! There are three checkout points in this place and yet only one area is designated to sell metro passes. To make matters worse they not only have to check your student ID to verify that you are student (understandable), they also have to check your name off a list. Sounds harmless right? The list is paper... there is a 700 page booklet sorted by ID number that needs to be checked off before you get your metro pass. Seriously how hard would it be to put these things in excel of all things to expedite the process (higher learning indeed). The result is a lineup that coiled the entire length of the bookstore twice and took almost one hour to get through! Icing on the cake... I almost got kicked out for drinking my Perrier (that I bought earlier) in the lineup. Apparently drinks are a big no-no. I told the woman to bite me, I finished the bottle and refused to leave the lineup (I had waited 35 minutes at this point and was ready to put up a fight). I think next time I will splurge the $12 I would have saved and just get my pass though the station.

    I don't go to school here - I go for walks/hikes. It's so beautiful, especially in the fall. There…read moreare long trails either paved or through the forest, you can choose whichever and get a few km of walking in. Be careful on the roads as some drivers think its Autobahn as opposed to a recreational area and speed through... I also pick mushrooms here with my parents but I don't recommend this activity if you're not an "expert" (which I'm not but my mom is!). Don' blame me if you eat a deadly shroom cuz you been warned!! There are also tennis courts here, if you walk along the paved area towards Eaton Hall you will find it. Eaton Hall is a castle/mansion like hall which I think is used for wedding and other functions. I strolled into a wedding by accident once, it wasn't as fun as wedding crashers...I got kicked out. In the winter there's lanes pre-made for cross country skiing with easier and harder paths - so fun!! GO HERE! If you go through the forest, you may be able to make it past Keele and across to the Oak Ridges trail and to the Monastery. I can't tell you exactly where it is but it's gorgeous. A sight to see :)

    I applied to Seneca College on December 4, 2016. During the application process I paid the…read moreapplication fee 65 CAD two times because their system was broken and I was told the payment failed. But I checked my credit card payment details and I saw the double payment and immediately contacted with Seneca on that night. I was told that I will have my money back at the end of the election process. Months later, I learnt that I wasn't admitted. So that was the time to get my money back for the second payment. Since April 2017, I sent them many screenshots from my bank details and proved that I paid two times, but they say that they can't see my second payment on their accounts and they are investigating the situation. From now, I don't believe that they are investigating, I can see that they just won't give my money back. If you think about applying to Seneca College, keep in mind that they are not honest and fair. They can take your money, and tell you lies.
