york university

The people who take my money.

"Hey man, wanna eat some food and shit?"

"Can't do it man. I have to go sell myself on Sentinel Road and give the money I make to York University."

york university

One of the three universities in Toronto, the other two being Ryerson and University of Toronto. Known for low admission averages for most of their programs, its known as the "Plan B" option by a lot of high school students aspiring to go to U of T. That being said, as the school doesn't have the reputation of a school like U of T, it is also known for the much better treatment to its students, such as giving large scholarships and not lowering students' marks to maintain a class average.

Two types of people go to York. Lower end, under achieving students as well as well above average students with foresight (the latter going to an easier school in order to maintain a higher GPA and there for get into better post secondary programs).
2006
Sally the UofT goer: Hey, Sam, which university did you pick?
Sam of York University: Well, I picked York because...
Sally (interrupting) : Ha, anyone who can hold a fork can go to York. I like a challenge so I picked U of T.

2009
Sally: Oh hey, Sam! Long time no see! Hows it going?
Sam: Well, I've been hitting the books pretty hard and I finally got accepted into Medical School! And to U of T of all places! How about you?
Sally: Well, I've tried my best but by the looks of it I wont be going to Medical School after all. Never the less, I can probably become a teacher.

(the following story is based off of thousands of stories each year.)
p.s. it is in no way aiming at teachers, but rather suggesting that taking the easier way sometimes IS the right way
p.s.s. while the above story uses york as the "easy university", it could be McMaster, Western etc, all fine schools in the GTA.

Albany, New York..Upstate, NY Accents 

People in the state of New York all have their own accent, The City (NYC,Bronx,BK,Harlem, LI etc..) is what we call it, have a different accent then say people from Lake Placid, Buffalo, and even the Albany area..But yes New Yorkers have accents. I've lived in the Albany area for 33 years and went outta state and people askin me, so you're from NY rite..I answer yes of course I'm a proud New Yorker..
Someone on here said we have a Canadian accent, um yeah rite, we gots the NEW YORK one kid!!

I concider Albany something within it's self, neither upstate or central NY..We are the CAPITAL of NY!! Area north of Albany upstate, area's west of Albany to Rochester Central NY, Rochester to Buffalo Western NY
Albany being the CAP CITY we rock it like no other, a safe place for people to go out and have a good time with good people. It's an awesome college area, with in 20-30miles of Albany there are about 15 or more colleges, people have things to lose and aren't punks and pullin guns out on people, don't get me wrong ever town has that area you shouldn't be at, and if you know that area stay clear (some parts of Clinton ave, Arbor Hill..just to name a few)

We got Hip-Hop, Blues/Jazz, Hardcore, Metal, local talent here..We have our gay pride, we have our first nites for the arts.. It's an amazing place to live with a short drive to the City or the Mountains.

Living here Pleasure or Posion..everything is at your finger tips..

York University

A pretentious, Marxist school in the Northernmost point of Toronto. Largely inhabited by prissy children of rich families that are entirely supported by mummy and daddy's wages while their child pursues a useless degree in psychology or theater. A place that leaves said undergraduates well trained to apply philosophical principles to asking "do you want fries with that?"
Also, a place where U of T students go for an easy post-grad degree.
York University graduate of the bachelor of film studies: Welcome to McDonalds, Can I take your order?

** Actual paraphrase of a York University Residence inhabitant in Tatham Hall: "Yo guy, I just drank a 24 that I bought with my trust fund to my head and rubbed my sweaty balls against my roommate's forehead. Yo, I'm so epic."
