I'm going to York too. I had the option of going to a better school but my parents only had enough money to pay tuition, so I had to choose between commuting to York and graduating without debt or going to a better university but assuming thousands of dollars in debt. Since I'm getting a shitty degree anyways (Economics) I figured I may as well just go to York. I just hope I can get a comfortable white collar job where I make a decent living when I graduate. It's all I ask for.
