Biology / Biotechnology, Year 2
(5)·By Duncan F·Biology· Jul 2021 As I'm on biochemistry, lots of safety and introduction talks, safe chemical disposal for example. Lots of partying, clubbing and fun activities. Loved it. Varies a lot between colleges. I was in ensuite vanbrugh accomodation and it was spacious, clean, warm and lovely. This is top of the campus accomodation however, and other colleges have much worse. I use both the chemistry and biology teaching labs and they're excellent, with amazingly funded, top of the line equipment. The biology department continues to grow, with stunning research equipment and labs. The lecturers and tutors absolutely love their subjects, and it is incredibly inspiring, and motivates all of us. The quality of teaching is very high, and the enthusiasm and support is exemplary. York is small but lively. Very safe too, I feel comfortable walking around at night, and there's always something fun to do! The minster is stunning, the shamble is gorgeous. Not to mention plenty of restaurants, bars, clubs, Asian supermarkets, cafes etc. It's the best city I've ever lived in.
