Student Perspectiv­es

“My Transfer from ANC to York University was seamless and a fast process, all the credits go to Ms. Manouri, Ms. Prabhavi and other amazing staff at ANC who guided me through the entire transfer. York University is in one of the most culturally diverse city in the world, Toronto, vibrant downtown to calm suburbs and lakes, the contrast is stunning. I was amazed on how easily I was able to settle into a completely different country within days… Ontario is also a hub for parttime jobs and internship­s which helps the students to gain the much needed experience after their graduation.
