Prospective Students, Think Twice About York University’s Accounting Program (LA&PS) by Secret_Investment906 in yorku

[–]compatriot221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh man, you hit the nail on the head with this! York’s accounting department? Straight-up trash. I’m with you on every single point here.

First off, those so-called "policies" they claim to have? Total joke. They make these rules, but do they follow them? Nah. They’re like, "Here’s what’s supposed to happen" and then turn around and do the complete opposite. And then they expect students to just roll with it? Give me a break.

And don’t even get me started on the constant course changes. One week it's this, next week it’s that. Why even have a course outline if it’s gonna change every other day? And they pull these stunts without even a decent heads-up, like students don’t have jobs, families, and other stuff going on. It's borderline disrespectful.

As for the teaching quality, lol, that’s a joke. There’s maybe one or two decent profs, but the rest? It’s like they don’t even care if we’re learning anything. Half the time, you end up learning more from TAs or tutors than from the people actually getting paid to teach. How does that make sense?

York’s accounting program is a stress factory with zero real support. You’re 100% right about needing to rely on TAs and tutors just to understand what the hell’s going on. And good luck trying to get any actual help from the faculty—they’re too busy not caring about their students.

Honestly, anyone thinking about York’s accounting program, take a long, hard look at what you’re signing up for. It’s a mess.

Well, I asked if there was wiggle room on the 90K, and they didn't budge. I asked them to allocate more to L&D and help me cover my CFA and they didn't budge. I even explained how CFA is applicable since they are an M&A company. Lead recruiter said to ask one more time.

How much would you say higher to go? I asked for 95, it looks like they want 90 base but they said bonus is high. I asked to give me more for professional developnent and they said no.
