The university has very nice staff and the law lecturers are helpful and great at teaching. Although there is not many good places to sit around the uni other than the library and SU
Amazing setting, amazing staff and amazing students, couldn’t be happier.
York is such a beautiful place and there are so many opportunities to socialise, meet new people and have your voice heard. You can get support both from your course and mentally and physically with in a week or so I’ve experienced anyway with the uni!!!
I think its a beautiful place to study, it would be helpful for there to be talks and chances to make industry links earlier on in the course.
The amount of effort but into the Simulation Nursing Wards, the pizza meal deals, cheap food and drink in the Student Union
the wellbeing service is short on appointments but helpful when needed, the lecturers could be more thorough in explaining tasks needed to be completed
Small SU so can limit the amount of activity’s available
Student support is generally very good and more personal therefore tailored to the individual.
The campus is so nice and inside the buildings are so modern with great facilities!
Student Union offers support but isn’t utilised by most students. Overall campus is fantastic and teaching is of an excellent standard
i love it , the staff and other students have made me feel so welcome, i love york so much
Best experience is definitely the teaching on site and how accommodating the lecturers are. Worst is probably the timetabling
The lecturers, particularly for my course are amazing. My academic tutor has helped me so much so far and made my second attempt at uni so much better. I also love that everything is face to face.
Small, great city
It’s a small community so you feel like a person not a number
Good staff and course in view of York city walls and minster
York St John has a real positive community vibe being only a few minutes walk to the city centre. It’s very inclusive and always enjoy going to university even if it means early mornings

First gen student
The staff are amazing and really supportive, I feel like as a mature student I’ve had as much support as I can get going back into learning. The course is fantastic itself. It’s a very inclusive campus, and very well maintained. The toilets are always clean and the accessible toilets are great. The food is good quality and affordable.

There's no help during your study abroad or for any accomodation Some of the professors are amazing not only for teaching but for keeping you motivated in the topic of study
Not niche enough. We just skim the surface of too many areas of linguistics and then get marked down for not being able to provide depth in assignments. Great for CV but makes studying too difficult
Government needs to step in for student accommodation nation wide now
