I think there could be a greater emphasis on mental health support
Getting more help for next year's accommodation would be very helpful

In my opinion, York st John University help me a lot in the course and I got the lot's of information and knowledge about the course which I like
The support is great
York St john University is the best university
Best things about uni are supporting staff, multicultural environment, best place for study and satisfied with teching method
It has let me broaden my perspectives by meeting new people and trying new things, I feel I've grown a lot in such a small time. Not sure what i would do to improve it but maybe a bigger budget and a slightly bigger student union building?
Classes should be 2 to 3 days in a week. University should offer part time job opportunities to students and student accommodation price should be minimise and they have option to share room.

It's educational style and friendly staff
Timetabling. Student union has tried their best to accommodate us (as far as I know) but the society I am on committee for are regularly disregarded by timetabling - either replaced by other societies, or by external bookings. I understand that the university needs money to function but that shouldn’t be made our problem when we are paying so much to be here. I love my life at YSJ but timetabling need to step up. (£1000 to use the auditorium we should be able to access for free? Hell no.)
great!!
There are number of other universities that offered free gym and gaming facilities as well as free food on some occassions but in this university is not any facilities like thiis! Moreover the accomodation is too costly as compared to another universities. One of my friend studies in lincoln university and that is the best university i also visit there Thanks
The students union could improve in how it responds and treats societies. There has been issues in the past of double bookings, prioritising outsider events over student events and on top of that, not informing the societies that this has happened. Also charging £1000 to use the auditorium for an event as the events team wants to hire outsiders to do the sound and lights even though there are students and staff that are perfectly capable of doing them is absolutely outrageous. Students now can’t afford to use the facilities that we are paying yearly through our tuition fees to have access to. Why can’t the students access the facilities that were built for students to use?!
Classes length are to long, it can be improved. Students and staffs are good with ease student.
Information service of University is best I think


The university is small and therefore creates a team feeling and you know you are always supported
There are many different learning methods which help to develop knowledge in different ways
