York U is an excellent school however; it’s about time students realized that management and the union have a fragile relationship. And because of this your schooling may suffer.

At other places, you hunt for schools. At York, the school hunts YOU!

GOOD.
Less students means that less contract faculty will be needed and therefore, so contract faculty members will not get hired and therefore not get paid.
I say this is GOOD because contract faculty members are CUPE3903, the union that went of strike for 85 days and screwed the school year for 50,000 students. I was one of the students negatively affected by this strike.
I say GOOD because it was the actions of CUPE3903 have cost their own members jobs. They should have accepted binding arbitration from the beginning. They stuck to their demands, got forced back to work by the government and now they will lose jobs because they have tarnished York's reputation. They did this to themselves.
I say GOOD, when really I should say GREAT. I am ecstatic that the union that went on strike and inconvenienced me will encounter job losses. IT is what they deserve for screwing with the school year of 50,000 studentsLast edited by help_questions; Jun 5th, 2009 at 10:37 AM.

Would you be willing to pay $58 more for an iPod produced in North America?
My Answer: NO. I get the same Ipod with the same functionality...where is the the benefit to me? As, I've said before, I will get more out of my $58 dollars by lighting it on fire, because it will produce heat. If I wipe my a$$ with that $58 dollars, I will need to buy less toilet paper. IF I buy the made in North America Ipod for $58 more, I get absolutely nothing more out of it. Reply With Quote

I'm sure you have all seen the York ads at Bloor and Yonge. Does York actually expect people to spend the next 4 (or more due to strikes) years of their lives because of an ad on the subway?

I picked York, because they offered the most flexibility in courses. They offer a good amount of summer courses so I can fast track through the degree faster. I am not coming out of highschool, so time is a bit of a concern for me. Ryerson, was not nearly as flexible... Assuming there is no strike I can get through York in a much more time efficent manner. I am also only doing an undergrad. Although, I would be interested to know the difference if I got my undergrad at York as opposed to U of T. If my marks are great, I will look into that as well as how much extra time it would take me to complete if I switched.

Jun 5th, 2009 10:55 AM #7Face it. You picked York because you couldn't get into U of T. Nobody picks York first. It's a safety school. Don't kid yourself by thinking it's quality education.

I know that with my college marks that I would not have gotten into U of T, but that is also because I did not attended/put to much effort into the college. Hence, why I am paying for it now and heading back.
For the record, I decided on York over Ryerson because I am not coming out of highschool and York offered the most flexibility and course offerings for me to finish in a timely matter.Last edited by phomp; Jun 5th, 2009 at 11:09 AM.

There's rumours of a strike in 2010 so really, why would someone choose to attend a school that will screw your high-cost education?

Jun 5th, 2009 03:16 PM #15I do not see how he proved your point. U of T does not happen to offer an undergrad degree in his field... so he went somewhere else. It does not mean he could not get accepted into U of T. Just because U of T offerers a graduate in whatever field but not an undergrad it does not mean U of T > insert school. The programs and circumstances have to be taken into consideration.... Originally Posted by ItemFinder

No one is denying that U of T is a "higher" quality school than York for example. But there are other reasons why people pick different schools not just because they could not get into U of T. If my goal was to complete an undergrad in kenisiology (sp?) and then get into teachers college and York is more conveient, and was an accepted program into teachers college why would I pick U of T over York? Once I am in teachers college the undergrad makes 0 difference. (not that I am becoming a teacher.. just an example). The teachers college will look at marks, and experience first... Reply With Quote
