If you enjoy having your education halted and ruined because of constant strikes then by all means go here.
Seriously though this university is very outdated in the classrooms and lecture halls. There are also some very weird people who just walk around campus like lunatics and security turns a blind eye.
By Ryan Heydari May, Reply. Very nice and professional staff, provides all the information you need patiently and with the right guidance. Beautiful memories of my life, great educational experience and made some awesome friends while there.
Thank you YorkU! By John lockeypie May, Reply. This is the worst university education I've ever received. Do not ever go here. The CUPE Union at this university strikes the campus every 3 years,of which the strike usually lasts for 6 months. This means that every 3 years one semester is cancelled.
It should be noted that close family memebers of faculty already receive free tuition. By Sahil Joshi May, Reply. I had 2 strikes in my 4 years of studying here. The current strike is on its 9th week. This money hungry university does not care one bit about how their decisions affect the students and T.
Do yourself a favor and study somewhere else. By Emre May, Reply. If I could leave the stars blank I would. This school is terrible. Some of the profs are nice but majority of them are pretty unhelpful. I will not go here for Graduate studies nor do I recommend this to any other future students.
By Seema Dave May, Reply. Very bad experience! If you are willing to go through minimum 10 mental breakdowns per week, then this is the right school for you! By Tabu Shukur Apr, Reply. Worst university ever. Teachers striking is part of the curriculum, non-communication and frustrating students.
Very impersonal campus, mostly commuting students. Absolutely no campus feeling out there. Please take our advice, and do not go to York. By Frans Klaassen Apr, Reply. I personally think that this was the best university I have attended and I have attended a few around the world many will disagree, but this unique helped me become who I am today By Raidah Atcha Apr, Reply. I personally believe York is a great University. Although many may disagree. The fact that it made me collaborate, integrate and think critically played an important aspect in allowing me to be a better individual.
I highly recommend this University as it does teach you things you don't necessary know and helps you identify your strengths and weakness. Although sometimes, the professor may not be up to the standard, that's life technically where you have some good days or bad days. You just need to know how to balance and deal with it. To sum up, its a good university if you are willing to learn and put the effort. By Harmeet Singh Feb, Reply. Awesome university. Did my undergrad in astronomy and their program is top notch.
The program is small so getting help from profs is easy and they're always welcoming. There are a lot of opportunities at York however one usually needs to work to find them.
Campus is slightly isolated but this changed recently with the introduction of the subway which makes access to downtown and neighboring areas much better. By Akash Feb, Reply. I have only been here for a term, but I already love the place.
The campus is beautiful, the professors and TA's are helpful, and everybody is nice. I've heard the residences aren't the most beautiful, but they get the job done! All in all, lovely school, great programs, and would recommend!
By Daniel Martens Dec, Reply. Spent 4 amazing years here graduated in I love this place with all my heart. Worked as a call-centre agent back in the day for the institution and it was fun. I have memories of superb times with friends I made and enriching educational experiences with some of the professors.
I admire York University and recommend others to study there. By Qurrah Choudhry Nov, Reply. If you are just visiting the campus, it is very beautiful in the spring time and worth appreciating.
As a student, I've heard it's not as good education or faculty wise. By Minori Jun Jul, Reply. Lots of people, overcrowded library during rush hour, large lecture sizes for intro classes. Professors are generally nice, the admins that I've talked to were helpful. More places to sit would be nice. By Jenny Jul, Reply. Good teachers, nice university, but in the middle of nowhere.
Fortunately there's a good range of food options, restaurants and shops, and it's a terminal station for many bus routes. By Din Waismark Jul, Reply. The most unorganized system, the poorest communications, the most irresponsible staff, the least qualified instructors you find at York. I tried this school twice and every time was a great disappointment and waste of money and time for me. By Paisley Yoga Jul, Reply. York is an amazing school.
The buildings are modern and very clean, there is lots of parking and it is a happening place. A lot of the programs are top notch and there are lots of flexible education options. By Adam Jul, Reply. Horrible administration; when I tried to change my program, they mixed up my application. After calling them numerous times and being bounced to different departments many times during a course of 3. Never heard a thing from them again, no letter no calls. By Nikolas filice Jul, Reply.
Good university. Honestly underated. And there schuilch business program is top notch. Doesnt really get any better than that. Just finished my first year hear at york and i can say it is a good university. Very diverce compared to other universities and many eating locations WiFi is good.
Until exam season when half the uni realises they actually have to study. An amazing campus and city, and no cons that have ever reared up.
Whatever kind of person you are you will find something that youd be interested in to do! Great uni beautiful campus and plenty to do and get involved with.
Eurodam was very temptimental and could go down for hours at a time. V disappointed in the philosophy department. Terrible marking compromising bright students and their futures. University of York is a collegiate university where there are 9 colleges around campus and your class is literally a minute away from your room.
Sports clubs and teams are decent but could do with a bit more funding for pitches for rugby and football. Campus is claustrophobic, the buildings are usually reminiscent of horrendous communist prison-like architecture and the ones that aren't are situated on Hes East - the barren wasteland of Uni of York. Town is nice, but other than club nights, it's mostly left untouched by students as its about 15 mins away by bus. Do not waste your money going to this place - it's beyond bad.
The internet and wifi is practically non-existent, always crashing. The staff are racist and talk to people like they are dirt - disgusting in truth. The Halls of Residence are little better then slums broken windows, mattress holed the kitchen facilities filthy. Clubs are drastically underfunded well the University is in debt so what do you expect. The university look like something from a secondary comprehensive modern built on a sink estate. Don't go here.
I really enjoy it, the student union is sorta non existence and do some very stupid stuff. York is wonderful University that has gone under the radar for too long! The collegiate system and the more moderate size of the University means that there is an excellent community atmosphere. It also means that there is the opportunities to manage small scale business and events at a very early stage a progress into larger things - gaining invaluable experience that you simply cannot do in other universities.
Go to York. Love this place - great university, great atmosphere, lovely people, etc. The university is very stress free, There is so much green space and many places to go on strolls. Nightlife could be better but it's not bad. It was okay, the social life is a total disaster on Heslington East and the student union is a huge waste of time.
The on campus bars are awful too. The university expresses blatant sexism additionally by banning international men's day this year but celebrating a week for international womans day. Disappointment of a university really. An amazing university. The college system makes it so easy to settle in and make friends for a lifetime.
The university of York is a fantastic place to live and work. The campus atmosphere is really beneficial to the university experience. Campus security are too over zealous. Halls are really old and have too much wear and tear. My window was broken shut, shower had no temperature controls and my room was tiny! Would not recommend. I love Alcuin.
There's always loads of events and campaigns to get stuck into. Great people, and a great experience. Plenty of oppotrunities to get involved in societies, clubs, committees etc. Some areas of campus with outdated buildings which are gradually being replaced, on the whole great facilities, teaching staff and accommodation - look out for the ducks though! Great community feel. So supportive. A lot of useful facilities and on campus activities and entertainment.
Negative - ugly buildings. Nothing to complain about but the Union does not represent student views, motivated by self interest and sideline non-minority issues. York is a wonderful place to live and the University of York is a great place to study.
Wouldn't want to go anywhere else. York University is just exquisite: the campus, the city, the welcoming people and the high quality standard of teaching.
I love the University of York, in such a short space of time you realise how friendly everyone is and prepared to help you out. There is a society for everyone and there are so many opportunities to try new things and boost your career prospects if you choose to engage in them. The library is huge and there is plenty of space to work quietly or find places to work with friends and always a computer available.
York has made me feel at home, and is also a perfect space for a working environment. Such an excellent and friendly university, I felt instantly welcomed and included.
I love the college system, as it helped me meet so many people who I otherwise may not have met. I can only speak great things about this university, and I'm sure it will help me shape a thriving future for myself. Beautifully furnished campus in an amazing historic city full of friendly locals. Hes East is so nice, however a shop to buy food, etc. Tron is also life. However it isn't too big that I get lost all the time. All the staff and students are friendly and the WiFi even reaches into the city!
I'd recommend anyone to come here as long as their course taught here. We have an amazing student union who holds tonnes of various events and activities and the university has a lot of intriguing societies and clubs ranging from geek society, Taylor Swift society to caving club and skydiving club.
Not forgetting the awesome facilities we have especially the library! We have a very enthusiastic student union with loads of clubs and societies and especially interesting events.
It is a good experience to learn how to organize activities and fundraise. Couldn't have done it with good campus facilities! We've got a pretty cool library in my opinion anyway and although we don't have a nightclub on campus no-one really seems to mind since it isn't far in to town. The student union events however are awful in comparison, I went to one once there was probably 20 people there tops.
If you want a thriving SU bar and nightclub York is not the place for you. There's a lot of different societies and sports teams so there'll be something for you whoever you are and every year they host at least 3 careers fairs. Love this uni, my home away from home. Love the lake and pretty areas around campus and Heslington East is very modern.
The only annoyance is the geese , and you learn to co exist with them in time. Such a wonderful university in a lovely place with of course the highest duck density!! All round fantastic. The West campus is great albeit in need of an update. This is a huge problem because I struggle to work in my room as I like to separate work from home, and I know there are 'alternative' places but those places lack plug sockets, silence and things like water pumps etc.
Other than the library issue, it is fantastic. The University is situated in the most beautiful town in England! It provides so many opportunities to students and has the most fantastic college system!
The best experience of my life, the place is full of people from diverse backgrounds, facilities are good, social life is awesome, teaching is amazing. Great uni, new developments, usually great wifi. Great campus and fantastic location. You don't have to be a fan of brutalist architecture to come to York.
Heslington East is beautiful and the city is one of the best in Europe. However, you have to be a fan of geese! As a law student the Law School is on the cutting edge of creativity and modern legal research. As a student the University is academically highly regarded, and more importantly never loses sight of its young, plucky upbringing; yes you can be the best academically, but it means nought if you have no fun along the way.
Loved my first year at York! Loads to get involved with and such a friendly, encouraging and buzzing environment around campus. Great campus and good sport opportunities at college level. Could improve sport at a university level and maybe introduce more study abroad options but apart from that a great city to live in and a good university to study at.
Excellent location in a brilliant city with rich culturr and a vibrant nightlife. Welfare provisions are extensive along with particular focus on improving employabiliyy. An amazing, community-feel university offering all that you need on campus, yet also only being a 20 minute walk from the town centre.
The friendliest university in the safest city! It's literally the best place you can ever go. The people are amazing and you know when you finish you'll be able to do anything because of our brilliant staff and facilities! The college and uni sport is great too!!
Outstanding amount of opportunities to get involved in just about anything during your time at York. It has to be one of the most social, beautiful and least pretentious top universities in the country. A university and campus that is loved by all when you get here, supported by the college system! The Careers office is always sending out new opportunities for students so if you can't find anything - it's because you don't want to!
There are so many clubs and societies to join, and they have great meeting hours so there will always be something you can join. Overall, the two campuses are lovely once the concrete grows on you and the nature on Heslington East is beautiful. There are great buses between the two campuses and York is such an affordable place to live - there are halls for every price and the student lets in the city are well priced too. You can't go wrong with York! Amazing university that is simply a head above most others, if you meet the standards to apply then it's well worth it.
I've made life long friends and gotten a world-class education without having to spend a fortune living in London or abroad. Plenty of clubs and societies and the 'Roses' tournament against Lancaster put York uni on the map for sports! The wifi Eduroam is less reliable than a pensioner's erection. York is a fantastic uni!!! You get used to all the geese and ducks along with the stuff faeces they leave behind on the pavements However there are still some issues with york The internet connection is terrible and if the network goes down early weekend it's likely it won't get fixed till the Monday, societies are great but some are a bit lacking for example the electronics society shocksoc they don't do any nights out :.
Absolutely fantastic university, I'm so glad I came here. Fab university and brilliant city!!! Campus-y and compact without feeling too confining. Unpretentious, friendly atmosphere, and a nice, informal collegiate system fun for sports events, club nights etc and provides a bit of a community.
Fantastic English department and excellent theatre facilities. Good SU, always lots happening. Home to one of the most active drama societies in the country so good!!! Brilliant city, steeped in history, with loAds of independent businesses and weird and wonderful shops, as well as a varied quirky nightlife. I've had the best time here and I'm so reluctant to leave. York is a beautiful place, life is cheap perks of living up North , the people are friendly again, the North!! Can't recommend it highly enough!
York university if very supportive of their students from all backgrounds. Fantastic university, great teaching, great facilities, great social life. A world class facility in my eyes! Going into my second year I've had an excellent experience in first year with so many opportunities in sport and other societies, a range of people who are there to speak to if you're struggling with anything i.
Brilliant all round university with lots of support, facilities and opportunities. Perfect uni i love it, its set in a beautiful place and everyone is very nice, teaching is excellent and people care. Brilliant campus university.
Great atmosphere and huge range of societies all of which are good fun. Only thing bad about York is the wifi at Halifax college and often there are some periods where the internet drops. 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.
Great quality of teaching feels very personal lots of time spent with lecturers. 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. You can check out these personalized gifts for something extra special.
