YSJ is a welcoming and friendly environment to be in with a great cosy campus and welcoming staff! It truly feels like home!
The accommodation is really nice and a great location. The course that I am studying is a full on course but they have lots of support available . The teachers and tutors are really knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It is very easy to get in contact with the support team and they are amazing. The facilities at York St John are really high quality and so is the education. The university is very safe and accessible to York.
Beatiful fusion of old and new buildings on campus, however some buildings (cordukes) are dated and not great learning spaces. Lovely, small, walkable campus. Great city location, however York is a very expensive uni city in terms of private student accommodation.
York is quite a small city so you end up running out of new things to do after being here for over a year but it’s still great
Very inclusive and has good support system for students. Lecturers offer a lot of support and check in with students. The facilities on campus are really good and the library is very helpful
Lovely uni, in a convenient location. More emphasis on student support could be useful.
Due to the small capacity of York St John, no student goes by unnoticed by tutors so university support is in abundance. However as it is such a small university campus it is sometimes difficult to accommodate to the amount of students that use its facilities, such as seating within the library at busy times.
The uni and the grounds itself set an amazing place to both live and study
Being a student here is very fun and I feel like I am part of a community. There is lots of open and free space to do work and relax whilst being on campus.
Best = seminar teaching and workshopping Worst = navigation around campus - not made clear where everything is from the beginning
Lovely environment, really good tutors. I haven’t been to the Student Union yet but my friends say it’s a good place.
The campus has such a welcoming team that helps students whenever they need it.
Student support is absolutely unbelievable.I'd managed to be accepted on my course within 1 working day, which was absolutely insane experience. I have never seen any uni to have that mush facilities for the students.
