There are not many societies for people who are unable to partake in sports. Staff tend to be really caring and friendly. The campus is a good mix of modern and old, has lots of spaces to sit and is great overall.

Q
I went to york st johns back in about 1982 . at that time there were a lot of students training to be p.e instructors and such like so there was a very sporty atmosphere around the place. now my daughter is thinking of applying for English and maybe film studies. i wonder if it is still like it used to be. i dont think she'd like the emphasis on sports amongst the students. but all other aspects

campus is pretty with a homely vibe and has a large library open 24/7. however the uni is just too small and york itself has a pretty poor student scene making it hard to make friends and have a good time. there is a major lack of societies to join aside from team sports, adding to how little there is to do when part of this university. the courses themselves all seem very small and not the best in the country/area by far and if you’re thinking of doing a creative/arts subject i wouldn’t recommend at all. the arts department seemed very underfunded and just behind the times in general, i ended up dropping out pretty early on, and i wasn’t the only one.

York St. John is a brilliant university. In the heart of York it’s a short walk into the centre and to the train station. The student union has good wifi and sells plenty of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks across the lounge and bar to enjoy both day and night. I spent most lunches here with a coffee in the comfy seats in the lounge. The pub quiz every Tuesday night is great fun (if you avoid the group that cheat each week) and the drinks are cheap and delicious. Most staff are lovely, only a few who are rude on busy nights. The library is big and items easy to find, with different floors for those who want to study in silence. Plenty of food and drink options available across campus, but not much choice available in the canteen after 1.30pm. Support available is good, but often lecturers aren’t available when you need them to be so it’s important to have coursemates to get in contact with. This is more of a general uni issue than with YSJ itself. Overall, there’s nowhere I’d rather go.

I'm now in my third year of PhD and I feel lucky and grateful to do a PhD here after the team of my supervisors. They are so patient with me that allow me to make y mistakes and find my way. That allows me to really love and start enjoying learning itself. That I think matters far more than the degree. And all the teachers here are so supportive. I love the atmosphere of study here!

I applied through clearing and ended up dropping out and transferring to another uni after 2 weeks. I was the loneliest I have ever been at this university and I felt so out of place. The university does hardly anything for its students and from what I experienced, teaching is below average. If you are from a big city I wouldn’t recommend moving to a town like York either as there is a big culture shock. Now I go to Essex uni and I am so much happier!

They're trying to improve the facilities for art and design courses. Would recommend for any creative courses. Su bar is super cheap, cafeteria is a little pricey but I've never had something I don't like from there, they do breakfast lunch and tea. Starbucks and Costa are reduced prices. Library is good after you learn the system

I have put 3 stars to those that do not apply to me as I dont know how well the function as of yet. So far this university is amazing! So beautiful and in a stunning area. I have enjoyed being here so far!

I can't really think of any facilities the campus is missing. The Students Union are very involved with YSJ students and they are constantly holding events and helping others. The wifi only works in Holgate and Fountains - it really sucks in the other buildings, which is annoying when most of my lectures are in Temple Wing and some require the use of internet.

The students union is okay but very small and consists of a bar and cafe. Compared to other uni’s SUs it’s very basic but it’s okay during freshers. The WiFi is okay but not amazing. There are some food places on campus.

Everything about the university is great with the exception that some of its societies are exceptionally toxic.

Absolutely abysmal. Dropped out before finishing my third year. Wish I could've finished but the place destroyed me as a person. The societies are mostly cliquey and unwelcoming. Same goes for the courses. Not improved when such cliques tend to garner more lecturer interactions. Which can be intimidating and offputting for those students who are less outgoing. The accomodation team was appauling in my first year. To a degree where I had to put in a full scale complaint at the end of the year. They're in no hurry to deal with issues such as unaccomodating flatmates, or those who leave the place an uninhabitable hazard site. They're happy to leave you to pay the fines and send their copy/paste warnings. The Wellbeing Team is friendly enough, however it is understanable, under the circumstances of having every other student palmed off on them, that care can be lacking and isn't as personalized.

The students union is nice and welcoming, sport societies are very cliquey with the committees but if you have your own little group and enjoy what you're doing you should have a fun time.

Brilliant university, small but plenty of 1:1 attention from tutors if needed. Some fantastic and unique societies such as Historical Reenactment and Harry Potter. The campus looks beautiful whatever time of year.

The campus is a good size, not too big and not to small making it easy to find your way around. All the facilities are up to a very high standard and are kept clean and tidy. There could be a wider range of societies however there are a lot of clubs that you can join in with. The student union has recently been re built and is a great building to just go and hang out with your friends, it hosts events all the time which is really good. The only issue is the Wifi can be very unreliable around campus

There's a brand new student union which is great. Wifi on campus is usually good but you can't get a good signal all the time. All the facilities are great and there's loads of sports and clubs to join. Most membership fees are good value too. The carees team are really helpful too.

I love YSJ! I am so happy I chose to attend here! The university is great and modern in some areas but also have the historic areas such as the quad. The lecture theatres ate great and spacious, my favourite personally is the one in the fountains building. The library in YSJ is perfect for when you trying to cram in all that last minute work, as it's open 24 hours a day. The library is made up of three floors, each floor filled with academic readings and computers for you to do your work. The student Union has just been rebuilt offering you a comfortable place to sit with your friends or even do some work. The Union had a student bar and also a Starbucks, which has discounted prices because yanno we're students. But if you're never in the mood for Starbucks, we also have a Costa in the fountains building. The Costa is super handy if you have a 9am on Monday morning, trust me it's helped me so much this semester.

Campus is all relativity new and some areas are currently being updated, designed well for student life. It is compact and easy to find your way around. The SU is a little small, but there are plans for summer 2016 to revamp this. Careers services are available during your degree and after you leave the uni. Wifi is accessible all over campus with student login, fairly reliable.
