it’s a good place, really enjoying it so far
It’s a nice campus with nice staff and people but not many student events unless it’s society specific.

First gen student
students union is overpriced and not that great. good level of support from academic tutors but not all module tutors
Great teachers. Better prices
So far in my uni experience, I have settled in extremely well. There is a variety of support sessions and wellbeing programs on site throughout the year, with a large promotion on societies and activities run by the student union. The student union is extremely friendly, affordable and cosy, providing students with spaces to study and socialise. The academic lectures and workshops are interactive, informative with discussion topics and independent study.
Really great student bar prices, could have more than two options for Pound a Pint on Saturdays. Great food variety however I wish there were more vegan options.
It’s a beautiful campus with such friendly, kind staff. The student support and the SU are very helpful & will usually resolve your issues within a couple of days. The lecturers deliver top-quality lectures and seminars & they’re all very understanding.
York st. John is a great place to study due to its wide variety of student support and safe spaces. As an international student I feel like all my needs are met, and I have felt very accommodated by my school. I can’t think of anything I could criticize currently as I am very satisfied with my experience!
Very pretty university with beautiful old buildings. Great student facilities, a wide selection of locations for halls and a great city to be a student in.
I like the location of the university and how close it is to the city centre, I also enjoy the York nightlife with the events that are posted on the socials
Because everyone are helpful here u can find anything that i want for study
YSJ makes it a great place to study because it has such a welcoming environment. Everyone is really helpful and friendly which helps a lot specially if you're in first year.
4.4
best- smaller campus makes it a lot easier and manageable when moving to a new place worst- York is a very expensive city compared to others so i find im struggling a lot more with money than at home. even getting a quick cold drink costs a log more than i thought
best- all lecturers seem genuinely interested in the course making it fun to learn worst- all lectures are recorded but not uploaded anywhere making it quite unaccessible if i miss anything or want to go back
