Sort:Latest reviewsIve been loving my experience in York so far. I’m not a very into going out clubbing or anything but I know York has a good balance between that kind of social life. York St John has helped me a lot in my career with the BBC events they usually have and also the open mic nights are also a good opportunity for artists to have a little fun. Overall I’m very happy with how my uni life is going so far.
Uni staff are great, the course I am studying is very well put together and links well. International placements were advertised to be happening but we have been told they are not happening now which is really disheartening as I moved down here to York from Scotland for the international links that they claim to not have
Facilities are so good, tutors are lovely, and food is great!! Loving life.
Here provides me various insight and support.

I love the atmosphere when I walk onto campus everyone is willing to help if I'm stuck and they overall fell so friendly whenever I need a wee chat. The location on the university I love as its so close to town and get a good view of the york minster from some of my classes. For now idk what I would change as I haven't gotten a change to get around the whole uni yet.

great people and overall environment
friendly environment
Great facilities and great staff that are helpful and supportive
The campus is small making it easier to get around. You also feel much more included knowing that there are much less students than one of the larger universities.
Really good vibe Staff are really helpful Hard to travel there if you drive
The class sizes are small and the tutors are consistent and fast with responses online and helpful. There is not usually period products in the places where they are meant to be provided, I have not needed to use these yet but I can imagine some girls will have been caught short.

The university is located very close to town which makes it a great and accessible place to not only study, but also a nice place to live. The university feels like a community, due to small class sizes and the physical size of campus. This additionally means students have a lot of support from tutors, and one on one communication is available. The university could improve from a better student union perhaps. The building is quite small and so most students rely on bars and pubs in town to socialise.
The course is very varied in terms of content, and being able to chose different modules allows for students to explore areas outside of their specific chosen subject. For example, I have been able to study film modules alongside my English degree. The library has a vast selection of books which is great for my course, as it allows me to do wider reading to expand my knowledge.
It helps you meet new people. Eases students into moving away from home. There were some maintenance issues, but the repairs and maintenance team were accommodating
