LAL department is great. They are supportive and easy to communicate. I am mature student and was worried that I will not fit. However, everyone in my class was wonderful and helpful.

Not Bad

I'd say York @ Keele probably has the best campus in Toronto, the other ones seem kind of depressing to me while York seems like a more futuristic modern type of campus because of their buildings and the food along Pond Rd.
I have noticed that York is more academically focused compared to other schools tho like Western that just parties too much.

Repugnant

This is the biggest joke of a university. I am finally graduating this year and could not be happier. Feels like the professors are trained to hate, torment, not care, and fail their students in any possible way so the school makes more money. York emails every other day with an assault or robbery and pledge inclusion but are hateful to minorities.
Overall 1.4
Other than the countless armed robberies and assaults, the broken school website and general lack of accountability from administration for their terrible policies and safety, the school has great faculty in Psychology with fantastic research opportunities to those who excel and reach out to improve their education.
Overall 1.6
Some of the worst professors.
Overall 1.8
Most professors are below average. They cannot teach well, you have to teach yourself mostly at this university.
