Active Student Clubs
Our program is filled with passionate students. There are dozens of student associations and clubs affiliated with our department. Engage in events, volunteer, build new friendships, advocate and learn alongside your peers. They often host off-campus excursions, career nights, academic speakers and more.
Don't be afraid. University can be a big place and can be daunting. It was for me in the beginning as well. Take the opportunity to meet your TAs and professors during office hours when you need help, or just go talk to them about your future plans. They are there for you. I was able to get through my undergraduate studies successfully because of the valuable tips I received from them. Also, join student clubs to become an active member of the York University community. That will make being at the institution much more meaningful!
