Well, congrats first of all.

There are a lot of student apartments near York U, but I have no real knowledge of them other than that they exist.

It is relatively easy to get to York from the northern suburbs by auto - Vaughn, Woodbridge, Richmond Hill are the closest suburbs. Vaughn and Woodbridge are 99% single family homes, where some people rent out basements. In Richmond Hill you would be more likely to find an actual apartment.

The further away from Toronto you go, the cheaper the housing. I'm in Newmarket, about 35 minutes drive from York, and it is about $400 a month cheaper here on a comparable 2 bedroom apartment than in Toronto (but your vehicle costs are higher).

Tech companies? A fair number in Richmond Hill and Markham in the 404/Highway 7 area but could not point to any one in specific. Waterloo-Kitchener-Guelph, to the west, is where it is really happening also.

Good luck.
