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.

An elitest high school that thinks they're a private school in the city of Toronto, Ontario.
She thinks she's got her shit all tight because she's from York Mills.

Statistically, 3rd safest city out of the 25 largest cities in America. It's as safe as Boise, Idaho, and I dont hear any of you ignorant assholes bitching about Boise.
Get a new city to make shit up about.

New York has a long Dutch History. New York was actualy founded in 1624 by the Dutchman Willem Verhulst of the West India Company (WIC) and at that time it was Called New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam developed into the largest Dutch colonial settlement in the New Netherland province, now the New York Tri-State region, and remained a Dutch possession until August 1664 when, after several batlles, it fell into the hands of the British.
If this had never happend, New York was still called New Amsterdam and all the US Citizens would probably speak Dutch.

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?
