York University School of Continuing Studies has really been something else in my life. As a current student, I’ve wandered through the lively campus, checked out its cool buildings, and met tons of different people. In this post, I’ll look back on my time at the place, pointing out some key moments and why it’s been such a ride.

My Journey at York University

Picking York University School of Continuing Studies was actually easy for me. I already had a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree and one Ontario postgraduate certificate. I needed a place that wasn’t just great in academics but also had a unique vibe. York fitted the bill perfectly.

Once I set foot on the campus, I felt a sense of belonging. The vibe was friendly, and everyone from faculty to staff was super supportive. It was a place where I could grow both academically and personally. The programs here are challenging, pushing us to be our best. The curriculum is tough, yet with support from professors and peers, it’s totally doable. I’ve learned so much and grown a lot it has been amazing.

Campus Life and Experiences

First off, let’s chat about the campus itself. Our building? Pretty darn cool. Some folks even call it “oh, that weird building near Seneca or Schulich.” It’s funny and adds some humour to our daily lives. Entering it feels like stepping into an art gallery with lots of light and texture everywhere you look. It’s like a mini visual treat each day.

One favourite hangout? York Lanes, yep, there’s a shopping mall inside the university! A mall! And you’re right: there’s even a bar where you can grab an alcoholic drink if you want one. Coming from somewhere where that would be a big parental debate? It's totally refreshing. Plus, having shops, a pharmacy, and food joints all within reach? It makes life so easy.
