York is such a beautiful city that it is a pleasure to study here! Independent shops and cafes, and historic environment make it a great city to explore on study breaks. The university has a large, green campus with lots of wildlife, and we even have our local celebrity duck, Longboi! Outside of studying, there are many societies, sports clubs, and volunteering projects to get involved with. On the downside, the city struggles with student accommodation so finding a good, affordable house is a challenge.

The course involves quite a lot of modules that are specifically based on case studies so it may be an advantage or disadvantage depending on what you prefer. There aren't many contact hours as most of the time in the week should be dedicated to independent study. However, there is quite a variety of the types of teaching, including lectures, seminars, practicals, and occasional workshops.

Halifax College offers one of the cheapest accommodations on campus but it means there is quite a lot of students living in the same house and sharing the same facilities - in my house there were about 20 students. The laundry machines are provided by Circuit Laundry. They are quite expensive (£4.90 for washing and drying) and they do not provide the best quality of service. Halifax is further from the departments on Campus West but I actually didn't mind as the walk to campus is next to green fields and I really enjoyed how close to nature the college was.

It’s a great place to study as I work on campus west and live on campus east so I love that I can separate my place of work from where I live. Also, the accommodation on campus east is amazing! I would love another bus stop outside Anne lister college as it’s quite far to the bus stop making it time consuming to catch the bus before lectures instead of walking.

Amazing course, very relevant to todays society with lots of opportunities for employment. It would be better if I could specialise slightly in first year rather than having the whole first year as core modules.

Very very nice halls, far better than other universities I looked at. It’s quite expensive but that’s expected as it is almost brand new. Wish it was slightly closer to west campus but overall the walks not too bad. Maintenance team are great and my college run lots of fun activities for us every week! I wish there was an option to be catered on east campus.
