York

I love york, there is always something for everyone. There is many places to eat, even at 2am. The food varies from different cuisine, French, Italian, Indian and pub. York, also has the famous Yorkshire pudding wraps which are amazing. They also have the classic including McDonalds and pizza hut. York also have many different events that go on, which you can buy different unique things, once I was able rhubarb and gin favour Jam. It has the same shops as most high streets, however it also has the little quirky shops too. York also has the Harry potter shop which is very popular and can have people queuing for a looking their store.

York is a very viberent and cultural city. There's a lot of site seeing including the Minster and surrounding areas. It's very rich in history so if that's your thing is worth checking out. The student night life is also amazing with many clubs with music ranging from bassline, house and indie. There is something for everyone here.

There is an incredible atmosphere in York with something always going on in the centre. There are so many places to eat at, ranging from Italian food to Japanese to Mexican etc and nights out are always great fun

Try and save save save save save save save save save save save save save save everyday and do the same thing over and over and over and over again until I can’t get out of this country

really pretty place to live in, the locals are really nice and the city is beautiful. it’s quite expensive for housing but tbh it’s worth the experience of living here.

So many nice bars and restaurants, beautiful historical city. Great transport links. I love the night life. Very safe, vibrant little city!

Brilliant location in city centre, great atmosphere and lots to do both in the day and at night as there is lots of bars and clubs.

York University is a campus based, but compared to other unis, it is pretty close to city - about 15-20 min walk from campus, or less than 10 minutes on the bus. York is a college based uni, chosen by your choice of accommodation. Each college has some of their own sports teams, in addition to the main uni teams. Freshers week is organised by the individual colleges, so it’s a good way to be eased into uni life without meeting everyone in one go. There’s a good mix of pubs, clubs and bars in town - most have a happy hour or 2 for 1 on drinks, so it’s a good place for day drinking by the river or going out! Night life on the whole is good. Student nights are £5 entry on tues, wed, thurs & sun. Drinks on a student night are well priced £2.50/£3 for a double (compared to about +£8 in London). Relative to bigger cities, like Leeds, the clubs are smaller - so depends what you’re used to. But Leeds is only 20 min on train - so if you want something bigger, then you can! There are good transport links to york. Train to Leeds is 20 min, London is les than 2 hours. Local taxis & uber operate. The uni buses, 66 & 66A, run 1 every 10 minutes and then 66N run hourly past midnight - so can use it on night out. Bus is £1.80 for single of £2 for return - anywhere along bus route & are for pubic use as well. The bus between East & West campus is free between campuses. Many other bus routes from city centre, like one to the designer shopping outlet. The shambles is where many independent shops - both food & clothes are located, but York also had plenty of chain companies, which gives you lots of choice for coffee, brunch, lunch & dinner. Some places are more pricey, but as a student you learn to just avoid these, so on the whole restaurants are just average price. There’s quite a few free attractions in the city centre, like the castle museum & art gallery. Other various things to do such as cinema, trampoline park, boat trips. Everyone is super friendly as well :) For food shopping, Aldo is accessible by bus, or about 25 min walk from campus. Coop is 10 min walk from campus & offers 10% student discount with NUS card. There’s also a Morrison’s & Asda in town, as well as Tesco and Sainsbury’s express in centre of town. There’s a Nisa on both campuses (although this is more expensive compared to other shops).

Best place for the students , rules and regulation are Gud , transport system is excellent , you can even do part time job for the pocket money

York uni is the perfect location, just a short train ride away from Leeds for a bigger city experience or a 15 min walk into york city centre to enjoy the river and historic walls and minster!

York is so beautiful with great transport and places to eat and drink! Great shopping and easy to get to and from when needing to be at uni!

The nightlife isn’t amazing but the city itself is just the right size to explore everything without having to travel too far. The city centre is a maze of cobbled streets and hidden alleyways with countless independent shops and restaurants, not to mention one of the best selections of pubs in the country. Plus it’s in the north so prices are decent as well, and the infamous Minster is a building that never fails to impress

Excellent university. Loads of clubs and societies, a really nice campus close to the city centre, which is really nice. Accomodation is good too.

A wide range of shops in the heart of York city to access, extremely straight forward to get into town from university as they provide a university ran bus through town to the train station every 7/8 minutes during peak times. Different nights of the week depends on which club to go to for uni perks as without the perks some of the clubs and pubs can be expensive for students! Absolutely beautiful city to study in.

Lot's of restaurants, including vegan and vegetarian, so great options all round. Lots of interesting festivals in town over the year (ie. food,music.. small local). Good transport links, can get to london within 2 hours from the station. University buses reasonably reliable, and nightlife is okay but not the best if you expect loads. But links to Leeds are quick and easy nonetheless.

It's a lovely location, with lots of good attractions and a busy city centre. It is easy to travel around the centre of York.

York is a beautiful, cultural and historic city. I have had a fantastic 10 months living here whilst studying at the university. Most undergraduates live on campus or very close to it, which means a 20 minute walk to the city centre or a 10 minute drive. I lived half way between the university and town which I found worked out well as I had a part time job in the city centre. York is an amazing city for cycling and I have enjoyed having my first bike since being a child! Some very quirky bars and cafes which is always good to have.

York is a quaint little city with lots of charm. For me, the bars were a highlight; many quite obscure and unique. I also love the small cinemas they have dotted about. We used to go on a regular basis and pay £4 on Wednesdays. Also, york being an old city means that there is so much history! Amazing for Halloween! (Ghost walks, ghost bus, york dungeons and hallowscream!)

The city is great fun to live in, There is always something going on. I especially enjoy the food festivals that happen throughout the year in the town centre. York St. John has accommodation right in the city centre which for me, enjoying being out and doing something but unable to go to clubs or drink, is fantastic

The city is beautiful, and wandering around it doesn’t wear off. The uni is situated away from the city but is still very accessible which is good because it means that you can visit the city whenever and appreciate its beauty as you do me associate it with work. The train links are great, allowing you access to many major cities very quickly if you want to go elsewhere.

The city is beautiful, very scenic however I feel that there is a lack of cultural diversity. I found I was being told one to many times by taxi drivers, customers at my part time job that people of colour have only been I york over the last 10 years. The quality of food is amazing but I feel the City shopping facilities are too small and the travel fair is too expensive in order to go to the shopping outlet, which only provides bigger versions of what the high street already provides. With that being said the people are friendly and the university is amazing the campus is big but also provides a small amount of places to eat. But the bus service is free for me anyway and the quality of teaching is very high.

Location of York St John University is perfect for students living in halls or uni managed housing. The university is close to the city centre (about 5 min walk) and is surrounded by many cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. Overall York is a compact city so the university is close to all amenities such as the hospital and ring road for those who travel in and out of York for uni.

York is a nice city with lots of bars and restaurants however the shopping scene is best out of the city with most of the city centre shops with shut or shutting within this last year. You soon learn how to do a night out right round here with choices for everyone.
