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.

york Springs

York Springs is the United states equivalent to Cuba. Mexicans everywhere, Drugs, and apple orchards as far as the eye can see. Everyone is always high so don't bother asking for directions. Also it is in the middle of nowhere, or in Center of nowhere, your choice.
Have you been to York Springs?

What the hell is York springs?

York Prep

A overrated, overpriced private school on the Upper West Side. Super rich kids, some with potential that end up doing a shit ton of drugs outside and inside school. The teachers are disrespectful and unhelpful. So kids will typically watch netflix or play games all throughout the day. All the kids go to good colleges from doing no work because the school is so corrupt. Afterschool kids will go clubbing or to their friends mansion on the upper east side and snort a line of coke and fuck a bitch not activities.
Billy: Bro i have so much homework high school is rough
Me: Lmao I go to the daycare York prep because my parents don't love me
Billy: Sounds nice
Me: Yeah I have a great party life but by the time I graduate I will have no idea what to do with myself

York Farewell

When your group must part at York railway station. Those leaving the train remain on the platform and align themselves to the window adjacent to those still on the train.
Following the whistle from the platform supervisor, they signal their goodbye by windmilling their penises and singing the chorus lines of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive.
The lads gave me the old York Farewell after the stag weekend.
