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).

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.

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.

if you can hold a fork, you can go to York. Low entrance standards for the majority of programs and a tendacny to throw an ungodly amount of money at students to entice them to accept their offers of admission. Which students then reject, and go to a better university.
Essentially the university that NO ONE wants to go to. Their only good programs are the Schulich and Osgoode programs. Everything else is shit... PURE SHIT.

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 is despised upon by other Toronto universities, such as the University of Toronto and Ryerson. It was once ranked #2 on Maxim's 'Sexiest Schools in North America' list. A lot of uptight, yet hot, girls attend this fine institution. Home of the rich and posh whose mommy and daddy buy their education. Known for programs such as the Schulich Business School and Osgoode Hall Law School (which I might add is the largest law school in Canada). It's Political Science program has received accolades and is considered one of the best in the country. Notoriously known for it's left-wing students and professors, and brawls between the Jews and Palestinians.
All hail York!

U of T chick: Nice Louis Vuitton purse. You must be a student at York.
Yorkie girl: Indeed, that is correct.

You're a member of the NDP? You must be/or have attended York University before! No one can have such leftist ideals and not be a Yorkie!
