What Students Say
鈥淲hen I left high school to come to university, I felt homesick and shy. Getting involved in intramural sports and student government at York has opened doors to meeting wonderful people, working with orientation leaders who are now my best friends, and making fun memories on campus. Entering my final year, I鈥檝e grown so much more confident in myself and my capabilities.鈥
