My fourth and fifth years were the greatest of my life and I knew that I
had made the right decision in choosing York. Why? Because I became
even more involved in my College life. I became Vice-President and later
President of McLaughlin College Students' Council. In these roles, I
was able to work with a fantastic group of students to put on events,
sports, and activities that brought a lot of fun and life to the
university. We did trips to Montreal ($100), Niagara Falls ($25), Blue
Mountain ($25), Canada's Wonderland and much more for dirt cheap prices.
We were able to create an amazing frosh week which included: a large
carnival; trip to Wasaga Beach;
alcohol and inclusivity training; a Blue
Jays game; team building exercises; a campus tour; a football game;
dance parties; dozens of free meals and much more. Throughout the year,
we also did paintball for $2, free coffee houses, movie nights, pub
nights, raptors games, and more. Our Council was able to build a
community that was a home away from home for hundreds of students. The
amount of fun was unreal, unlike anything you will ever experience in
your life. That's why I'm glad I chose York and got involved. It wasn't
just the events friends, and parties that made the experience so worth
it but also the once in a life time opportunities given to me as a
student leader. I got to meet dozens of faculty members on a personal
level and work with them on various projects. I was able to sit
on committees that directly and indirectly benefited the lives of
students. These were opportunities that I knew I wouldn't have at any
other university. Man, student life is a wild ride.
