York St John University

I loved it! Lots of socials and getting to know new people. We had some taster sessions and introductory lectures which were very useful and informative. Not to mention all the club sessions and freebies! I loved my university accommodation- very secure and modern. All accommodation is within walking distance of the university and York city centre, so I couldn't have asked for better! I spent most of my study time in the library- it has everything from group study spaces to a silent floor. You are able to book out any room on campus for study/group projects. There are top class sport facilities which the university are very proud of and the students union was newly built and opened in late 2016! We had friendly and approachable lecturers and the course content was very varied. My favourite year was third year, as we were able to choose our modules and had more control over assignment topics! For example, I was able to incorporate my passion for British Sign language into my psychology of education module, examining research on the mental health of deaf children in mainstream education. I couldn't imagine living anywhere other than York once I was there and settled. It is a smaller, friendly city with lots going on all year round. From Christmas markets to food festivals and York maze hallowscream, there is always something to do.

My uni experience has been amazing so far so excited to see what's next

Freshers week was very well organised and gave lots of information. Always had something to do It was very clean and my room was a good space. Good communal kitchen There is lots to do and library is always open. A lot of societies to join too The course is well organised and lectures are informative. Very helpful information City life is good as there is so much to do. A lot to go and see and find.

Loved every moment, went by in a blur but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat Really loved living there as I felt safe but had my own space too. Got on well with my flatmates and lived really close to town too Thoroughly enjoyed using the library as it is really spacious and the staff are really helpful. All of the uni's facilities are always clean and modernised as much as possible Loved the content that was included and the range of topics on my modules. The previous modules I had studies helped to shape my out of academic reading and my dissertation topic too Absolutely loved living in the city as I felt like it was a new sense of home for me. Being close to a big city also provides lots of opportunities for socialising and trying new things

Settling into york st john uni has been the most welcoming and warm start to any new school i've been to and the course is exactly what i was aiming for. the lecturers are very understanding and offer extra support and help if needed, along with tutor check ins to make sure not just your work is getting done but if you're okay yourself, which i think is really important for a good connection to the university.

I'm a mature student so just took that week to get used to the surroundings! I'm a mature student and live in my own home. AMAZING. Couldn't be more accessible! Very structured, very supportive lecturers. Always a source of support somewhere! I love living and studying in York. The perfect size, so much to do but not too overwhelming.

Lots to do around the city and within the uni Actual uni accommodation needs updating but private accommodation is lovely Absolutely love the library being 24/7 and next to a costa The lecturers are amazing and really helpful The city of york is lovely and having the uni right in the middle of town is a luxury!

YSJ has a small campus which makes starting uni less indimidating and everything easily accessible. My course is perfect for me and offer a wide range of different modules. Our new SU is modern and it holds the best events.

A lovely little uni, where your course are tight knit, with lecturers who suppprt you all on an individual basis. The sports clubs are well attended and give you the chance to get more involved, I personally loved swimming club as most of my housemates were in it too! I've made friends for life and had an amazing overall experience here. The city is like a bit town where you feel safe, which is such an important aspect to consider.
