During your program you will also experience Toronto the way locals do – spending a day exploring the waterfront, watching the Toronto Blue Jays play baseball, exploring Toronto’s ethnic neighbourhoods, seeing all of Toronto from the CN Tower, and getting up close to Niagara Falls.
Our Community Leaders, current York undergraduate students, lead many of the cultural events and will also introduce you to some of the 300+ clubs on campus. There’s always plenty to do at York!
