When receiving support last year about some learning difficulties it was brushed off and i really struggled but this year it’s been much more accommodating
The staff are supportive
Better accessibility
The university is very helpful and supportive regarding both academic and personal matters
The people you meet
I initially chose this university because of the great teaching course offered. Having been here for three years, the university as whole is great! Societies have been a great way for me to access CPD and other opportunities as a trainee teacher. The university offer lots of support too - I have accessed well-being and the student support fund: both of which were of great help. I would say that maybe some of the facilities could be updated. In the learning rooms, it can sometimes be hard to access Wi-Fi and use Moodle, so perhaps a better internet connection across the university?
Good lecturers, friendly environment, good service
The support given by the staff and other students makes the uni life at ysj easier than other unis I've had experiences with. The only improvements I can think of is having some more warmer spaces during the colder months, and to keep listening to the students
It’s okay
It’s okay ish, some people suck

4.4
The library is wonderful and the staff are very friendly, the quiet spaces on both floors have been incredible impact on my ability to complete and submit my assignments. The student union is wonderful and I appreciate the friendly staff and the bar and cafe make it a welcoming place to hang out with friends, I’m also happy with my recent purchase of my York St John’s hoodie too.
I enjoy my course a lot and I find my tutors to be approachable and friendly, noodle is easy to access and I have ready access available to the resources I need to do my work.
My only issue at studying at YSJ comes from Uni Accommodation. To give credit where credit is due, I’ve settled in well in the halls as this is my first time living away from my parents. The Location is convenient to a number of supermarkets and a community coffee shop a few feet away. Washing and Iaundry is very convenient and cheap. I still believe there’s room for large improvement with the facilities; I can’t blame the accommodation team for the behaviour of others but there have been times where the behaviour of students living there have been inconsiderate and disruptive to others, there was a particular incident where students had barged past me into my flat after waking me and my flat mates up at half 12 in the morning, after I had told them to leave and not much was done. If anything has been done with or said to these individuals then it has not worked. The lifts are unreliable and on a consistent basis break down. Which is very inconvenient when disposing of rubbish as I’m carrying multiple heavy bags. Please send someone to properly fix the lifts. Thank you for reading my review! :)
