The location is probably one of the best aspects of this university for me, as York is a beautiful city and I love that campus is just outside of the city centre so there is a disconnect between work and going out. I also love the collegiate system as I feel it makes sports more accessible to people like me who may find university wide sports teams more intimidating. Improvements could be made in terms of tailored support, however this could be specific to my department.

I really enjoy the challenging aspects of my course, I feel that I am encouraged to apply my learning to world views and think about how education can be used in order to achieve equality. I am also grateful that lecture recordings are made available to access online. On the other hand, we could have better subject facilities, such as places to study in the department, and a more active society.

My accommodation was brand new when I moved in, with an ensuite, great soundproof walls, large kitchen and social area. I was grateful to all have a communal college ‘hub’ where social events took place, with pool tables, table tennis, TV, and quiet study area during the exam period. Location was slightly further from my lectures/seminars due to being on a different campus however this wasn’t much of an issue.

I have recently started at UoY after taking a year out from studying and I can definitely say that York has been so welcoming and supportive in my return to education. The university itself always has someone willing to help you with whatever you need and the support that is available is excellent. I feel that the extra support and services available to students should be communicated better and in a more clear way.

I have recently started my PhD at York and feel that there are lots of facilities that I can use. Firstly, I am a commuting student and having access to a student social area and kitchen is great for me! My course itself is blended with campus facilities available for when I need to attend face to face meetings and events.
