Everybody is very welcoming and it is a friendly and safe city. There is a focus on learning and also being a good person.

I’ve not had the chance to get into work or placement opportunities but what I have done and learned so far is incredible.

I’m getting what I’m paying for. The kitchen is small, but I have friends close by and nothing on campus is too far away

York is a lovely place and the way the university interacts within the city really creates a sense of community. The lecturers are very knowledgeable and keep up to date with current advancements in their field of expertise, and are easy to talk to if you need additional help or advice.

There’s lots of contact hours - generally you are taught everything you need to know by the lecturers and don’t have to do much self taught work. However, the speed at which they have to go to fit in the huge amount of content can leave you feeling a little helpless and overwhelmed at times.

It’s very modern, but also homely and the college team provides loads of activities to get involved with. There’s laundry available in the main college hub as well as 2 common rooms and a multitude of rooms for staff members if you ever need to go for a chat. The free weekly college meal is a great time to catch up with your college friends!
