1. Which Campus Day event should I attend?

With three campuses to consider, you may be wondering which event is best for you. While each campus offers a different feel, you don’t have to limit yourself to going to one place exclusively! Try visiting Keele, Glendon, and Markham to see what life is like on each campus while imagining yourself studying in that setting.

2. What does each campus offer?

Each of York’s campuses are uniquely different, making your learning experience something that you can be proud of. When you choose to study at York, you will be met with a variety of learning options, including ways to engage in your own campus community, and the communities held at different campuses. At York, there is always space for you.

Wondering what campus is best for you? Check out a breakdown of what our campuses offer:

• Keele Campus: Explore ten unique Faculties, a range of purposeful cutting-edge research and innovation opportunities and state-of-the-art academic, arts, technology and athletic facilities. This campus can give you experiences to help you build your education, personal growth and contribute to positive change.
• Glendon Campus: With a focus on bilingual and trilingual programming, this campus offers small classes combined with flexible learning paths. Here, you will receive a community-driven university experience.

3. What program should I take?

Get a head start by exploring our Program Search Tool and finding a program that interests you. If you know which campus you would like to study on, you can also modify the search to only show programs on that specific campus. If you are open to exploring what’s available across all three locations, go ahead and search for a program you are passionate about and see where that takes you!

Once you become a York student, if you find that you'd like to make a change, don't worry. You always have the choice to switch majors and, in some cases, add a minor to your degree to study two subjects at once.

4. I’m going to spend a lot of time here. What’s available on campus?

Time on campus won't always be spent in the classroom. Check out what study spaces are available, where you can buy food, where you can work out, and where you can go to unwind in between classes. You can find these locations and more by using our interactive maps.

There are also services in place to support you throughout your studies. You can discover and explore a variety of resources such as academic, accessibility, health and wellness, and campus security by visiting our Services & Supports page.

5. I’m going to commute; what transportation is available?

Public transportation opportunities can connect you to the surrounding community in your campus’ area, get you to and from campus, and open the door for exploration on your new journey. If you'll be driving to campus, map your route and find out information about parking services and permits.

6. How can I get involved on campus and in the community?

Getting involved helps you make friends, find jobs, and aids your mental health. When you step outside your comfort zone, you open yourself up to gaining transferable skills that you will be able use during your academic and professional journey.

Explore the opportunities that are available to you, such as Work/Study programs, which help you develop professional skills, encourage community engagement, and build confidence.

7. What financial support is available to students?

Your finances are the most important thing to consider. You will need to take your tuition, course materials, and living costs into account — which is information that you can find on admissions and program pages.
