*Students got a small reward for their timeThe university and its community feel helped me open up to life as a student and feel confident that I belong as part of a community with passion for what we study no matter the course nor modules.
The facilities are clean and well looked after, the campus is small and has a community feel making it easy to navigate and to ask for assistance from others. The staff are all friendly and ready to help and assist even if you are not on their course. The prices at the student union bar and the dining hall are all really good prices and allow to give back to the university and provide future events with funding.
Great support staff Bigger student union
It’s a really easy to navigate campus which is really good for new students. There are multiple places that ca. be used for study and are all good environments to be in.
Its a beautiful uni, course is great, student union bar and lounge are nice. Great atmosphere. Worst part for me is not enough events besides clubbing which I'm not fond of
Centre of york is great. Accommodation is extremely expensive. Facilities arnt great. Limited staff
The university is located in a wonderful part of town that makes it easy to get just about anywhere else from the campus, and the campus itself is beautiful. There are always new events being held, and the students' union makes a strong effort to engage with the rest of the student body and receive their feedback. There are also plenty of staff available to answer questions and provide support whenever you need it, and I always know just where to go if I have anything I want to know.
Very kind and helpful staff and many avenues for help if needed.
Support given by academics and other staff at York St John university is outstanding and really helps with life at uni
Love it
Best is practical learning, worst is phone signal on campus
18-24 years
First gen student
The best experience I have in the university is the friendly nature of the professor. My professor specifically Dr Martin Hall he is more like a brother to me more than a professor he had support and help me in every aspect of my studies and student life. The worst experience that I remember is I feel like a outsider in the first month of my university life and hard to fit myself socially with others.
Student life is great! Just put it as a 4 cause I haven’t been to many activities- mainly cause i like to stay in
I haven’t had a bad experience yet!
Really beautiful uni right in the centre so the location is pretty much perfect. Surprisingly great nightlife although some bars can be pretty pricey so it’s good to seek out the best ones. Good student union with regular events and also good events in general around campus. There’s always SOMETHING going on.
York has beautiful sights and there's lots to do for reasonable prices. There is a massive student nightlife and it's easy to get along with others
The staff have always been available to help whenever I have needed it, whether that be academically or on a personal level. I have also found the setting of the uni within the city helps to develop social circles and is easy to find plenty of places to study when I need to
The campus is small and intimate, it feels more like a community than it does a campus, so everyone feels very much at home and safe. The facilities for the course are all located in one place which makes it easy to find and easy to access. the library in particular is amazing to study in; there's plenty of space for everyone, including silent floors for people who prefer more silent study. There's a trolly full of study tools such as timers and cushions to help people as much as possible and the reading facilities available make studying all the much easier and interesting whatever your subject. Student union is nice and modern, so it fun to go to, the only thing would be that for parties and larger events a bigger venue would be used, because if you can't get there early, the place fills up and the events feels a bit overcrowded.
Best experience ; Attending welcoming week and having new freinds from different community and country . Worst ; None
