Student Reviews
Toronto Metropolitan University
🇨🇦 Exchange in Toronto
🏠 Housing
Lived at Neil Wycik Co-op. It’s not luxury, but it’s unbeatable for location and price. I paid ~450 CAD/month, had my own room, shared kitchen, and met people from literally every continent. It’s loud, fun, and 5 min from class. Book early, it fills up fast.
🚗 Getting to Campus
TMU is across the street. I used to wake up 10 min before class and still make it on time. Everything’s walkable, groceries, gym, bars, you name it.
✈️ Travel Life
Took buses to Montréal, Niagara, and even New York. Also flew to Vancouver during reading week. Plan trips in advance and stack your classes early in the week.
🎉 Social Life
Rebel on Saturdays. Madison Pub on Wednesdays. And Neil Wycik had random floor parties all the time. Best decision I made was living somewhere social.
📚 Classes
Took Ethics in Commerce, Digital Marketing, and a communication class that was 100% online, perfect for travelers.

Toronto isn’t cheap. Set a real budget. But the freedom, vibes, and city life made every dollar worth it.

York University
🇨🇦 – Exchange in Toronto
🏠 Housing
I stayed in Pond Residence on campus. 900€/month for a clean, quiet single room 5 min from class. Metro nearby. If you don’t want to waste time commuting, this is the move.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Literally 3 min walk. Downtown is 45 min by metro but manageable. Most exchange students stayed on campus and then took Ubers for nightlife.
✈️ Travel Life
Went to Banff, Tobermory, and Montréal. Canada is huge, so take advantage of the break week and use Communautoto rent a car with friends.
🎉 Social Life
More chill on campus, but we organized our own pregames and nights out. The best nights were spontaneous Ubers to Madison or Queen Street.
📚 Classes
Marketing and strategy classes were interactive and project-based. Avoid Finance unless you want to cry. Took all my classes Mon–Wed to travel.
🦙 Other
York is like a mini-city. Gyms, food courts, even a pool. I barely left campus during the week.
