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.
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.

A mid-sized university, also known as QU, that is located in suburban Hamden, CT adjacent to Sleeping Giant Mountain. The campus is one of the most beautiful i have seen, but the school can be expensive. Despite that flaw, school spirit here is strong, especially with hockey, which is popular among students. Also, QU competes in the Northeast Conference (NEC) at the Division I level, and has top-ranked programs in physical and occupational therapy, and nursing.
I'm not actually a student at Quinnipiac University, I'm just a fan of their hockey team and the school as a whole.
GO QU BOBCATS!!

A university that's really an exclusive resort or country club. Where else can you sit in a hammock under a palm tree by the side of one of the seven lakes on campus? Not only is our campus stunning, check out the students. Some of the richest kids around the country, even more so around the world. A typical Lynn student is white, tan, blonde, rocking prada sunglasses, a gucci belt, and birkenstocks and a polo. Here kids drive the most absurd cars, bmws, audis, caddys, mercedes, bentleys, maseratis, ferraris. You name it. A typical day at Lynn would consist of waking up so the housekeepers can clean the dorms, maybe go to class, go shopping with mommy or daddys AMEX, drink an excessive amount of alcohol, and party all night in West Palm or Miami. This school is for the most elite class acts in the world.
At Lynn University, LU stickers abound on the backs of bentleys, astons, m6's, and lambos.

Located in Indiana: the least significant state in the midwest, if not the entire United States. It is also commonly known as the worst school in the Big Ten Conference. Their major athletic programs include Division I football and basketball, which each managed to win just one conference game in 2008-2009. The university has great business and journalism programs, however the majority of their academic programs do not even compare to other Big Ten Schools such as Northwestern, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and so on. The university itself is somewhat attractive, especially for it notoriously being located in the white trash capital of America. The people are friendly and the party life is above average. Although, of the bars that exist, none compare to those on the campuses of Illinois and Iowa. Basically, Indiana is a school you go to for one week out of the year to enjoy Little 500: a couple days out of the year when students drink and party and Indiana actually has something going for it. If you are considering attending the university, think to yourself, do I want to be a Hoosier? That is after you look up the definition of quite possibly the lamest Division I mascot in the country.
A degree from Indiana University got me a job at McDonald's. Would you like fries with that sir?
I transferred to Ohio State, after just four months at Indiana University.
I went to Indiana University for Little 500, I drank more at the bars at Illinois on Mom's weekend.

A university in the heart of Seattle. Located between the party district of Capitol Hill and downtown, there is plenty to do and see. Seattle U is trending up and an education from this Jesuit school will prove valuable. While small, the university provides many opportunities to its students. It also boasts one of the best business schools in the nation. The party scene is often criticized, but coming from a student, parties are ample for those who have friends. Don't expect to be let into every party just because you pay tuition. You have to network. All in all, my SU experience has been great thus far. The academics and campus life are all around great.
Your experience at Seattle University is what you make of it!
