I would like to say YSJ is very good for students from the international. They help you move in and with language problems because they know lots of international people are here. The town is very good to visit and you can move on the walls around the city.

The University is a very inclusive space and has easily accessible support available. The facilities and the teachers help me be able to get the best I can from this course and I've felt like I've already learnt so much even though I've only been here under 2 months. The social aspect is also really good and there's lots to do around York as well as the student union offering lots of weekly activities so there's always something to do. The only thing I would improve is more advertising for the activities in the student union, such as through email, as sometimes it is hard to find if you don't have them on social media.

There's opportunities to study abroad which is very interesting and is something I think would be worth doing. The facilities are very good and there's lots of techniques that I'm managing to do that I've never done before. The only thing I would improve is the length of time we spend on briefs, sometimes it's not long enough and I need more time on it in class.

What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
I was very lucky to have been given the accommodation I'm in, the price is very good for what I'm given and the surroundings are quiet so it is easy to sleep. The outside may not look very modern but the inside does and all the rooms are so nice as it has just been refurbished. The closest supermarket is ASDA and it's 15 minutes away which isn't too bad and it's very close to the University, less than 10 minutes away. The only improvements I would make is that there's a routine fire alarm every Tuesday that we weren't told about so for next years students, it would be good if they were warned. As well as this, some people got given accommodation that they didn't apply for that is way over their loan and that they struggle to afford which is an issue with housing in general but other than that everything is good.
