It’s very friendly and staff and very helpful
it’s really good! i couldn’t recommend it more. nightlife could be better but it’s york so expected
It’s a great place to study
Small university giving it more of a community feel which is boosted by the use of the Students Union building which is used by all students. Also in the centre of town to make it more accessible
Best - student support
The best aspects is using the library facilities to study and do work when I get distracted at home, a long with a nice cafe next door for a quick cuppa. The worst aspect is probably the rush hours when it’s hard to get food or difficult to get into lecture halls.
Everything's been great, teachers are very supportive, classes are quite practical, and the location of the university is very convinient
A great place to study is one that is comfortable, well-lit, and organized, with minimal distractions. It can also be a place that provides access to technology and other resources
The facilities are great and the staff are very supportive. The only improvement would be making the campus amenities like food and drink cheaper
I love the York St John Uni's library atmosphere. On the second floor, there is quiet place to focus on tasks. It is very useful for me to concentrate and I could finish my tasks at the library. I think the library will become more convinient by setting reference services.
York has a cosy small town feel and the community at YSJ feels close-knit. I have been lucky enough to have very supportive and personable lecturers. The night life is okay and there are lots of other social activities close by. I love how close to the city centre the campus is, its very easy to navigate.
