Love it
The best experience was the tutors welcome in the university and there us no bad experience to remember.
I really enjoy my studies at York St John; however, I would say that there isn’t as much support for commuting students as there should be.
Great
The best aspect is the feel of the university. Because of the small campus, you get a real community feel and recognise everyone. It’s nice that my class is small so I get to know my lecturer and course mates which creates a real sense of connection. The student support is also absolutely amazing. It could be improved by adding more facilities. I know that it is a small university, and this can be good, but it also means that there are less facilities. I personally think we could benefit from more study spaces in particular as there is only one library and it is always full in the week.
The best aspect of my uni experience is definitely the location and feel of the university. I would improve the commuting student support
The best aspect is the campus and how close it is to the city centre and the accommodation. The worst aspect is the late finishes from timetabling.
The best is the campus and close it is to the city
Great environment
Best- it’s a lovely campus Worst-nothing really
It's a lovely environment to be in with great people. No bad aspects
Small campus, easy to access facilities
I have loved my time at YSJ so far its such an inclusive and fun atmosphere and really gets people involved. It has a range of societies to join in with and makes people feel included. I have received appropriate and effective support for my mental health and also maths tutoring. Thank you so much, YSJ was the right choice for me!!
A nice place, people are welcoming and enthusiastic
My worst aspects was trying to find a job at the start
It has amazing simulation rooms and equipment to help us learn. There’s different foods available around campus and shops nearby. The library is also good for studying.
4.4
I love this university; however, the timetable for commuting students should be separate from those of living in, as its added stress. Lack of support in that area despite the website. It’s very limited.
I reckon for days we have one lecture/seminar they should be online attendance applied I’m a commuting student and have to spend £17.20 daily. And the lecturers contradict each other with what we should and shouldn’t do in regards to assignments. Also the brief for the assignment was poorly given.
