Highly recommend for disabled students. The student support plan system at University of York is incredible, the disability support team are dedicated, compassionate and efficient. In my experience, all academic staff are receptive, willing to adapt and through office hours you can access assessment and curriculum support. There is an issue of Campus West being less well resourced than Campus East but still very comfortable, and buses are incredibly inconsistent/completely packed, so when travelling to meet a specific time factor in at least 30-40 minutes of extra time to account for this. I'd recommend living on-campus first year, highly recommend Alcuin College (quiet, close to library, close to bus links, Campus West is very scenic with gorgeous wildlife). There is a class divide at the University between state-school and private school students, but it is a Russell Group and its (sadly) expected. However, this mainly manifests as ignorant comments and arrogance- easily ignored. read more

University of York is good but the Halifax college needs to improve a lot, in term of renovation building, facility, common room, and please do not expel postgraduate students of the dorm before the dissertation deadline. read more

I always felt safe during my stay at Student Castle, and the 24/7 security desk was a big reason I chose this place. They organise many different kinds of events every month, which really helps students socialise and connect. I was grateful to be part of Student Castle Carnival a few months ago and it created some memorable moments for me. I would highly recommend Student Castle to any students looking for accommodations in York! read more

Great place to study, especially if you enjoy a small town over a big city environment like London. Noticeable facilities difference between Campus West and East. Campus West needs more refurbishments. Personally, it was hard to make close friends if you don't party, drink, or go to pubs. read more

I had a very pleasant stay in this apartment. The location is convenient, close to transportation, supermarkets and restaurants, and life is very convenient. The room is clean and tidy, with good lighting, complete facilities, and timely maintenance. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, and the overall living environment is safe and comfortable. The landlord/property management is also very professional, and any problems can be communicated and solved in time. Overall, it is a very ideal living choice, I highly recommend it! read more

Love our university, and one of the better universities in the UK in terms of how they've responded on student union requests to divest from companies linked to Israel and the military industrial complex, though they could still do much more to divest and listen to student's concerns about financial chain links to war crimes. read more
