York

The university isn’t in the centre of town so nights out aren’t on you’re doorstep but there is the cheapest bus ever which comes every 10 minutes. There are loads of little shops you chose from including an Aldi which isn’t dead cheap and great for a student budget. The town hasn’t great clothes shopping as well as there being a designer shopping outlet.

York has a beautiful town, full of all the shops you could want. If there are some missing for you, there is the designer outlet 2-3 miles from town and Leeds just a 20 minutes train away. There are 2 cinemas in the town centre. You can take a ghost tour and visit the many pubs. The night life is ok, probably not the best but it’s enough for a student. Although it’s not a ‘dress-up’ kind of night life. The value for money is good considering it’s a lovely town, less expensive than the south although more expensive than other areas in Yorkshire. The accommodation is fairly pricey... but you save money on travel since everywhere is accessible by walking or by bike. But there is an excellent bus service that is frequent with friendly bus drivers which is rather novel.

A lot of culture in York with multiple museums. Also a lot of great places to eat out and shop. The clubs are nicely spread across the city

Nights out are quality short walks no need for taxis with cheap drinks and cheap takeaways all over the place loads of options for clubs or pub all with cheap drinks on student nights. Shopping is simple short walk to a supermarket or a walk into town if your not looking for food. Loads of tourist attractions in york the dungeon and minster are pretty cool and there are loads of other thing close by to do as well. The value for money is really good as well once you get to know where to shop as york can be expensive if you don’t know what you are doing or where to go but it only takes afew days to learn as it is relatively small but has so much to offer.

Absolutely gorgeous city, so in love with the atmosphere here. It’s a bit on the expensive side overall, but good student deals can be found everywhere. So many day activities (awesome museums), really good bars and Leeds/Newcastle are just on your doorstep.

Beautiful city in the great north and lovely, friendly people. When I first came to york I was met with beautiful scenery and architecture in the capital of the north! It not only is a wonderful city but is rich in history and every street has a story to tell or a friend to be made.
