It's quiet and yet others are present so insentivises me to study well.

I enjoy a lot of the hands on practical work I get to do and many of lecturers are very good. Though often I feel like I am covering the same information over again.

I often find it more diverse, than my experience, though this may be speaking more of my background than the actual diversity of York

Sense of community

I love studying at the university of York because the staff here are very dedicated to helping you make the most out of your degree, and there are so many resources on campus. The campus is beautiful, and the city of York is only a couple miles away from campus and is the perfect sized city and so historical. I think the ways it can be improved is that the buildings and some of the facilities aren't kept up as well.

The Zooarchaeology course here is really great! The labs and comparative collections are a great resource, and the professors and course structure is organized really well. I don't love how there is only usually one or two assignments that give you a final grade, instead of more assignments that comprise a smaller percentage of your grade.

Staying it Wentworth college has been great because location wise it is right on campus, but it is also right near a large wildlife park/field and a lake, so you are surrounded by nature while also being a three minute walk from campus in the other direction. The worst part about it is maintenance, I often get emails with maintenance notifications that will often get changed dates, cancelled, etc. and the inconsistency can be bothersome.
