Attending York University is an exciting step in your academic career. Apart from the diversity on York’s campuses, you’ll also have access to the city of Toronto while you study here – helping you engage with new cultures, explore new sites and make lasting memories.
In the heart of a vibrant city
With three campuses connected to different parts of the city, York’s Keele Campus is just a subway ride away from downtown Toronto or uptown Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. With two subway stations, a network of buses, GO transit and light rail transit, you can easily explore the diverse neighbourhoods, parks, sporting events and concerts in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). One great perk about our Keele location is that is that it is about a 15-minute drive to the international airport – meaning your trips home will be less stressful.
