The university itself is wonderful. Compact with all the necessary requirements and needs. The newer campus is modern and well built with more work being done to extent the campus and supply us with a supermarket, doctors surgery etc. The campus is well kept with maintanence/caretakers always around, clearing up litter/preserving the gardens etc. Parking facilities are good and also a reliable bus service to and from campus' and into town and the train station.

Loved the uni. My course is on the newer campus so my experience with lectures and seminars were good. However my accommodation was on the older side and was horrible old and dirty

The university has a super welcoming environment. There are coffee shops everywhere and lots of different learning spaces to study in so it's easy to find one that works for you. The library is open 24/7 which is useful for night owls and has a ton of different style spaces inside so if you don't work well at a desk, you can try a bean bag or pod instead.

I love york, my lecturers are always ready to help. There's loads of facilities on site so you don't have to travel into town but if you do it's only a short bus journey away £2 for an open return. There's free buses that run around uni campus also which is really convenient.

Great campus which is always being renovated. On the downside, there’s always construction, but on the plus side we’re always given new study spaces or new places to eat, which is always useful.

I am studying chemistry and the facilities are incredible. The teaching staff are fantastic and always willing to help. The campus is beautiful and the city is a great distance away.

The city is so amazing, there isn’t one ugly part of it. The campus replicates this with a lake in the centre and a fountain that glows in the night. Clubs are decent and course has high quality lecturers and facilities.

The University is very good. It has a wide range of clubs and societies, and an extensive welfare support system. The University places a large focus upon mental health, and provides services for this. Teaching standards are very high, with many lecturers being leading researchers in their fields.

York is great. The collegiate system has something for everyone! From raising money for charity, a second family in college, bar crawls, cheap booze - I really couldnt imagine myself anywhere else.

The campus is great, we may have geese, and we may have a UFO buildings but they are OUR geese and they are OUR UFO building. The tutor s are great too and are incredibly friendly.

The uni is very fun with lots of societies. The campus is nice and conviennent with plenty of cafes and restaurants for a quick bite or shop. There's a Santander bank located in the centre with plenty of books available on demand in the library.

Location is less than ideal however the bus services are good. The university itself is lovely in the bits that are new. Staff are friendly but more free parking should be available

the campus might be a little brutalist and robotic but it’s a great place to go to uni and the opportunities to meet a wide range of people have been amazing

I love my university. Fact. The loving community is the most prominent factor for my love of York - colleges, societies and friendship groups have made my university experience exactly what it is.

My student experience in York, so far, was a great experience and I am enjoying my time here. The facilities provided by the University are great and you can get involved in all kind of activities and societies. I lived in campus on my first year and the accomodation is great; the rooms are quite spacious and the they provide loads of things that you may need. The main issue is with the location of one of the campuses because is far away from the main campus and you may spend a bit of time to get to the lectures. The library is a great place to go and study, even between lectures. You may not want to go to the library during exam periods because is really busy and there is no space left for most of the times. The great thing is that you have two gyms that are on campus and you can crack on with your workout. Another thing is that joining a new society, you can get to know other students with the same interests.

Overall the campus is nice, there are some awful buildings but the newer ones are great. Especially heslington east where I lived as a first year as the accommodation is much newer. The course is really good, interesting and the lecturers are great. The facilities are good, especially on hes west with bars and places to eat, the library is also huge. Overall love the uni.

I should say my East Campus one of the best campuses ever. We have a beautiful lake with swan and duck, at night there is rabbit run every corner of the campus. Feel so calm, and all the nature place feel so great with Quite Place one of amazing and must take a picture. I'm an international student the support was great all the staff helpful. The cafe even provides halal food. The Sports Villages were full of the equipment with a lot of classes included in the packages. As a PhD student, they provide me with a comfortable office comprises a kitchen and small pantry for coffee. What else you will ask for the library great the IT services always helpful. For students want nightlife, they have a bar and some local bar also around campus.
