Both of the campuses are really green & it makes being on them a lot nicer. There are plenty of study spaces (on either campus) and lots of places for food & coffee. The Uni seems to be in good contact with its students (we got lots of emails about various things going on throughout the place!). Also the Uni does support students that are less fortunate as well - the bursary is so useful, it’s the only reason why I was able to stay supporting myself at York. The student union offers so many jobs as well, and they’re all extraordinarily well paid. Honestly such a big fan of this Uni.

I love psychology as a subject & for a lot of this course I do enjoy it. But there’s also quite a few problems - you don’t get to pick any modules until year 3, so you often get stuck paying for a course you don’t want to do. There aren’t many placements, especially not paid ones that will actually lead to something else. A lot of the lecturers just read off of slides & so you spend the entire lecture just copying and pasting. The physical building for the department is old and has basically no spaces to work. Because there’s so many people on the course, the lecturers have no idea who you are & it’s very difficult to ask for help when you misunderstand something.

Anne Lister prices have increased since I was there, but the accommodation was so nice for something owned by the Uni. we had a cleaner every week so the flat stayed clean. The en-suites were so well sized for Uni accommodation. All the rooms are pretty aesthetic & look fantastic, and the rooms are once again big for Uni accommodation. The kitchen is nicely spaced out & provides sofas so it feels more like a home. The campus is so safe - as it’s out of the way, no one really comes through & you see campus safety throughout the night. The college locks up past a certain time so you need a key card to get in. Only problem is the maintenance guys as you get barely any warning they’re coming, and often they don’t knock & can just unlock your door to get in your room.

Very supportive SU, lots of facilities across the uni, accommodation good

Lectures have good hours, lectures mostly good content

Good value for money, maintenance and cleaning good
