Only thing bad about York is the wifi at Halifax college and often there are some periods where the internet drops. Library is the best part as its open 24/7, I hadn't realised how important a god library was until I got to uni and I was lucky enough to have an AMAZING library!

I study psychology and the department is great, there are good facilities and the staff are enthusiastic. The campus and social life are great too, the student union have 4 club nights a week at different clubs in town where you always bump into people you know. Sports clubs and events are really good, there are intercollegiate tournaments and the annual roses vs Lancaster uni which has an amazing atmosphere!

For a research based University, York is amazingly student oriented! There aren't many Russel group Uni's like York

A great university with excellent teaching, nightlife and campus. Often underrated but I'd really recommend going to one of the best universities in the UK.

Spread over 2 contrasting campuses, I've felt very comfortable at York to live and study at. It's close enough to town if you need anything but far enough away to be a lovely student community. The campus bars are all so different and I love all of them for their different atmospheres. From week 1, I immersed myself in societies because York has so much to offer! The weekly events are so varied and fun to get involved with and it's nearly impossible to be antisocial. The student union is very helpful and my degree programme pushes careers events and CV workshops throughout first year. The internet is sometimes intermittent but I've only noticed this because I'm always online. Best uni I've visited and don't ever want to move away from York again!

University of York is ah its difficult to explain in word but basically it is AWESOME!! I have been involved in 4 societies this year and I feel like the society list is really good! One problem will be if we can use the sports center and sports villages dance studio for free it will be much better. I think there will be place for everyone in this university and you will love it :) !!

Fantastic uni, excellent resources and study facilities. I'm studying chemistry and the course offers a ton of support!! Brilliant and beautiful town, only downside is the kinda dull nightlife, but there's plenty of clubs to find something for you!

The student Union doesn't always get things done particularly fast, if at all. The internet/WiFi is great, when it isn't kicking you off for both reason

The campus may seem a little concretey at first but the lake gives it a much more natural feel with all the ducks and geese and Heslington East is much more contemporary. The collegiate system makes the uni so much friendlier than most with endless events from movie nights to club nights run both within each college and for the university as a whole. The staff are very understanding and are always willing to help if you have any problems in any department. Finally the city is beautiful, it is a pleasure to live in such a gorgeous area.

Beautiful campus with a good standard of facilities! A wide range of sporting clubs and societies available and will probably find some strange ones too! A very active students union, sometimes lack in communication especially if your not a big social media user! York has a good reputation with employers and students are generally very successful. The internet, when you get it is quick.... But so intermittent in some parts of campus it isn't worth having! Wide variety of bars serving food on campus to a farely good standard with Costa coffee located on many different parts of campus.
