UNIVERSITY OF YORK
Overall Rating

University has been difficult for me. I have been bullied, and although it was in private accomoodation, the university helped me a lot. They provided support sessions but also money to help with travel expenses as I had to pay rent on a house I had signed for whilst paying to get to university from my home, as after I was bullied I move out back home.

Student Union

I have never experienced directly the student's union so I can only imagine it is good.

Clubs and Societies

Chess, MMA, edsoc, frenchsoc. However, as I now commute from home I find it difficult to go along to them.

Accommodation

I think student accommodation is expensive in comparison to other student accommodation outside the university, however it is worth the value of having everything right on your doorstep, such as the library, the computer rooms etc.

Uni Facilities

The facilities are great everything is there, the library, the computer rooms, the laundrettes, the bars, however in terms of space such as in the library often it can be very difficult to find a seat or a computer.

Course and Lecturers

They are versatile to everyone's different learning strategies. For example, some lecturers use a presentation on powerpoint, whereas others just stand and talk, and other use activities for student engagement.

City Life

I love the city life I love the fact a Saturday night doesn't have to be spent in the clubs but there are quiet bars and restaurants you can visit. Moreover, there's plenty to do such as the cinema, shopping, European markets, the boat rides, the parks and their wildlife. Most importantly, I wouldn't recommend doing it however I have never felt so safe in a city walking about alone at early hours of the morning.

Job Prospects

I've already started training through the police force.

Student Support

EVERYTHING- Academic life- Personal/Home life- Bullying and discrimination- Disabilities discrimination and support- International student issues- Anything that's gone majorly wrong - Emotional support/ counselling

Having said what you have said would you recommend your uni?
