I love the University of York and my course, the campus is so vibrant and beautiful. York city is also stunning and a really vibrant city to eat, party and spend time with friends . The campus is full of wildlife and both campuses have lovely large lakes.
My lecturers really seem to take an interest in every student and the work we do in the course seems to be contribute to the local community but also the global community. I feel like my course is really well structured to work across different disciplines with lecturers at the forefront of their area of study.

York is a really beautiful city that has so many opportunities for things to do with friends but also alone. I love the beautiful rivers and the kindness of the local people. The only downside I would say is that there is a shortage of accommodation as the city is smaller than other university cities so it can be quite difficult when searching for houses.

Very small so you can easily get to know everyone. Natural Sciences course is very small too so everyone is really tight. Chemistry department have great facilities.
Student union is a bit disorganised and doesn't do things in the most logical way (also to get a job there it is more of a popularity contest than verifying that individuals have the required skills and a track record commitment to things relevant to the role people apply for). Student support is quite limited as opendoor is the only suggested way of seeking mental help and disability services can take long to give people a student support plan.

Great chemistry lab facilities, lots of lectures by experts in their fields but maybe too much content especially in terms of third year chemistry lecture contact hours.
