It’s amazing

(5)·By Katie B·Psychology· Jun 2026
Everything is fantastic, from lectures to tutorials, volunteering opportunities, and more. The nightlife is varied but always offers a good night out; the bars are impressive and reasonably priced. Student halls are great, and the overall environment of the accommodation is cool. Everyone is super nice and sociable—of course, there are a few oddballs, but that's the case everywhere. The city itself has so much to do, with great cafes and study spots. The sports scene is excellent, and great relationships can be made through all the societies.

Great university

(5)·By Olivia S·Sociology· Jun 2026
Student life is fun and much safer than in many other cities. My course is interesting and involves essays as assessments. The accommodation is great, although the pricing, including the cost of laundry, could be lower.

Endless opportunities

York has provided me with extremely valuable opportunities that I wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else. The support they provide for placement and work experiences is amazing.

Such a great university; the safeguarding is amazing, and the staff are like no other. I really struggled with the transition to university, and I’ve never felt so supported. The team checks on you every couple of days to make sure you’re doing okay. They put you first, not just the education—it’s remarkable.

The PBL sessions make it much easier to understand law. I love the PBL because you work as a group, build social skills, and develop a sense of community, as well as prepare for the future.

Course and Uni Life

(5)·By Emily G·Nursing· Jun 2025
University allows you to be really independent; if you make new friends, you can go out and have fun. I really enjoy my course; I’ve always wanted to do nursing, and the placements are really good. My flatmate and I always go out for drinks and food, have free time, watch films, and play games – it’s amazing.

UoY is heaven

(5)·By Emily J·Social Policy· Jun 2024
I love the University of York. The campus accommodation makes it feel like the perfect step between university and full adulthood, like a student version of Center Parcs! I love living so close to many students instead of moving straight into the middle of a big city. The student nights out are great too for the same reason. On top of that, I love my course - the split of seminar to lecture time is perfect, and recorded lectures help with any missed notes. Also, the access to a personal tutor is great. I could not recommend this university more.

Allows me to see what other students think at their university and compare all aspects individually to find a happy medium when choosing a university.
