As one of the cheapest options on campus, Derwent College provides all the basics that you’d want from campus accommodations. Other, fancier, colleges may have better events (e.g. colleges on East Campus) but they’re typically more costly. Catered accommodation is a massive plus as well. read more

Too expensive for the value it provides + had a sink in my room but no one ever mentioned the water is not drinkable + got a room in the stairway which should just be illegal, I could hear every single person who entered our block and it was colder and less private and comfortable because of the stairway. Basically just check that the room you got is not in the stairway. read more

I am thinking of placing York as my firm for 2019 entry but am quite a conscience about accommodation. Would be studying politics.... would this college be accessible for that? There is also mixed reviews but .. that's the same for all the collages

Yes, the college would be accessible for studying politics, as the Politics Department is also in Derwent College.
