I love UoY, and I'm so happy I chose to come here. But whilst the city is beautiful and the campus has more ducks than you could wave a stick at, it is at its core a university with a lack of funds. The staff are very nice and there is a good community spirit, but alot of things are very basic such as campus bars and accommodation. read more

Loved studying in York. The Uni facilities are great, the faculty incredibly helpful in my experience and the WiFi is good enough to get on with. Didn’t hear much from the student union in my time there but I also never really went looking for anything about it so that could be my own fault. Amazing place to study. read more
