York University, also known as YorkU or simply YU, is a public research university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is Canada's third-largest university, and it has approximately 53,500 students, 7,000 faculty and staff, and over 375,000 alumni worldwide. It has 11 faculties, including the Lassonde School of Engineering, Schulich School of Business, Osgoode Hall Law School, Glendon College, and 32 research centres.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 37% graduation rate and 67% freshman retention rate suggest that most students who start here don't finish, which is a real red flag worth taking seriously. On the plus side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $14,250, and the $20,129 average net price is manageable — but median earnings of $39,000 a decade out raise questions about the return on that investment. Worth considering only if you have a specific, compelling reason to attend — a strong campus visit, a scholarship offer, or a clear fit with their programs — rather than as a default choice.
