Best bit - Exchange Worst bit - Student spport

I love the dedicated Natural Sciences learning space

Loved the room size and cleaners, did not like the location

The community feel at the university of York is wonderful. The campus is always buzzing with students and has so many nice areas outside to sit and chat or decompress between lectures. Sitting by the lake and watching the swans and ducks is one of my favourite places to eat lunch with friends. Overall, I've had a great experience with interesting lecturers and supportive supervisors for lab projects, and would recommend York to anyone looking for a welcoming, well-rounded and high quality education experience at University! Improvements could be made in the delivery of information between management and students, especially regarding the future of departments to ensure all students feel represented, respected and informed about the next stages of their teaching.

The facilities in biological sciences are great, and have allowed me to undertake a fulfilling and interesting final year research project. The blend of online and in person lectures has suited me well as it allows some personal flexibility when planning your own weekly schedule, while still maintaining a structure to work around. Having regular workshops with the lecturers helps recap and cement the previous few weeks' content, and is a boost to revision. It also provides an open space to ask questions which you might have not had during the lecture itself but came up a few days later after the content starts to sink in.

I love the setting of Goodricke college - with its colourful buildings and green banks its a lovely haven to live in when starting Uni. The flats are clean and bright and have everything you need as a student. The maintenance team were always quick to respond if problems arose. While the facilities are great, the price is still rather high which can pose a financial burden, however a University bursary towards living costs helped me a lot.
