York Applicants 2012!!

Accommodation confuses me... do you choose a college? Or does it choose you? There was something about receiving a joining e-mail so that you can apply online, but when does that get sent? Oh, and also, even the maximum maintenance loan JUST covers standard rent, but doesn't leave much for anything else...

Anyone else having a massive panic over this too, by any chance?

I got an offer. I'm sorry to hear that

its okay going to royal holloway did you aply for sociology with criminology?

I'll be firming York for LLB Law over the weekend. Anyone that's firmed, what will I need to do after that in regards to York/ uni in general? Thanks a lot

You won't actually need to do anything but get your grades, as far as I'm aware! You should probably see if you can apply for accommodation at your insurance, as I know that York's application system doesn't open until August, but other than that.... it's focus on fulfilling the conditions.

I've been sadly neglecting this thread... Going for English/Linguistics and have firmed York, as is now obvious! Anyone else for English or Linguistics, or both? ^^

Hey, potential course mate! I still haven't made up my mind yet, trying to decide between York, Sussex and Glasgow. I am currently favouring York, though. The course just looks so fantastic! Have you visited the university?

Hi there! English/Linguistics too, or just one or the other? ^^

I would definitely choose York out of the three you're torn between... Bias aside, I've visited Sussex and personally didn't like it in the slightest, even though it's only about 45 minutes away from me. The campus is aesthetically depressing, and I just wasn't that impressed.

Glasgow I can't really comment on, but I've visited York and was really impressed by all of the talks, and the campus isn't particularly beautiful, but the lake is brilliant and everything actually looked lovely anyway because it was really sunny! The course is absolutely brilliant too, which is of course the main thing.

Hi, does anyone know how to find out your Student ID number or York ID number?

Just got an offer for PPE!

Help! Trying to decide between York and Royal holloway for History, any fellow historians fancy suggesting any advice, pros/cons etc, would be much appreciated!!

Did you go to a post offer open day? Because that really sold it for me because the course looks fantastic on paper but the way the staff spoke about it just sold it even more. York is renowned for the strength of its history degree whereas Royal Holloway is a good uni but doesn't have the same sort of prestiege in terms of the subject (I know this stuff shouldn't matter as much but reputations stem from fact at the end of the day).

RHUL was actually my insurance last year (albeit for psychology so I can't help much about their course) but when I visited, I was put off by just how empty the area was. Egham just seemed totally deserted and with nothing to do, not even just in terms of nightlife, whereas York is still a small city but definitely seems to have enough to keep someone entertained no matter what they're in to.

We don't have an ID number or something like that (they use your UCAS number to identify you) but if you mean your login details for You@York then that will come by email, but it can take a little while after you've got your offer for it to arrive.
