Because of this University’s size, it means you get more one on one support with tutors. They organise many check ins for your work and for you personally so that you can do well on the course. Only downside is that I haven’t had a reading week.

The support at York St. John is amazing. All of my lectures make such a huge effort to make the course engaging. The Students Union is always holding events and there are so many societies to be a part of. The campus is beautiful and well-facilitated. Because it is not a huge university there is a great community feel plus York itself is an amazing place to live.

As someone who transferred from a much bigger university, the smaller size of YSJ is such a nice feeling. Students are treated much more like people than other places I’ve experienced, you get to know your coursemates very quickly and, because classes are smaller, tutors are often able to provide many different resources and printing for projects free of charge. One of my favourite things about the uni is that it feels quite focused on making you work-ready and giving you experience. They give you opportunities to sell your work and keep you in the loop about competitions and commission opportunities so that you can put your degree to use as soon as (or even before) you graduate! The illustration course is more focused on art philosophy than I expected but it is done in a manageable way. Due to the smaller classes, lectures are shared with fine art and photography meaning the content occasionally feels less targeted at you as an illustrator but it can sometimes be interesting to learn about these topics.

Best aspects : 1. the friends that I’ve made 2. the location, the city of york is beautiful and has so much to offer 3. because the uni is quite small compared to other universities, you get to know your lecturers well and your classed as a person not a number The only thing that I was unsure of during my first year- I was unsure about how effective my course was going to be at helping me achieve things in life - but I realised that this course has so much to offer and it has a wide range of skills involved so I can use this whatever I decide to do in the future. I have grown to love my course and all the avenues that it can offer.

The staff on site are always extremely helpful and friendly. I went through a time where I needed my name changed on the system and the team were more than happy to help me every step of the way. I really cannot commend them enough on that front. I will say that sometimes there can be problems that are out of the staffs control but they will 100% try their hardest to make sure we can get help in any way possible.

The best aspects are how helpful your personal tutors are. I enjoy the student union bar, as it is very similar to bars you find around York but has a safer feel to it . The food , although expensive on the uni campus is worth the cost as it is warm and nourishing. The cafe upstairs in the student union is cosy and welcoming, as someone with social anxiety I enjoy it here as everyone is into what their doing and it’s easier to get work done. As for the library it’s great as there are three levels , one pertaining a quiet area are in which the toilets are in close proximity. The layout of ysj is great as it’s compact making it easier to find rooms. The map at the entrance of ysj is extremely helpful and very clear ! I believe that there are little improvements to made as there are many desks to ask for help if need be. Also the student union is a great spot to connect with individuals and communicate which I believe is a way of the uni , making people feel less alone !

The location of YSJ could not be any better. Being so close to the city centre and in such a beautiful, well built and purpose built campus is brilliant.
