Re: York St John's AccommodationLimes! About 15 minute walk to campus and 20 minutes to town but really good standard of accommodation and a more community feel than some of the others, socialising when you want it but not all the time. If you want socialising ALL the time then Percy's Lane.

Re: York St John's AccommodationI'm loving it, the Uni is nice. A really good mix of "normal" folk and because a lot of the courses, especially in HLS are vocational, people really know where they want to be.
I think Physio is a little more intense than OT so be prepared for some serious assignment writing.
The size of the Uni is just about right. Only 6000 students so its difficult to walk across campus without finding somebody you know and we get the benefit of having the other Uni for the numbers which widens the entertainment opportunities in the City. -

Re: York St John's Accommodationhaha well i am glad to hear there are a good mix of "normal" folk!
I knew that physio was going to be pretty intense but you got to do what you got to do to get to where you want to be!
Ah am glad its a small uni, specially cause i have never lived in uk before, needs to find myself ya knoww.
Do you socialise with the other uni a lot? -

Re: York St John's AccommodationAs a small uni the sports and societies are limited but as long as you can get people together who want to be involved the SU will help you set up a society.
There are plenty of sports teams but we're a bit like Luxembourg... because we're tiny we don't have huge numbers to draw from so don't tend to win much

Re: York St John's AccommodationThe teams compete as part of the BUCS system (www.bucs.org.uk)
The last round of results weren't too bad at all though and I think for a lot of the teams there are a lot of first years getting to know one another which makes a difference to team cohesion.

Re: York St John's AccommodationYork is OK but Leeds is better,only 20 minutes by train and trains through the night. York is getting better and most of the bars have student nights during the week. The Willow is a cracking way to end a night out though, Chinese Restaurant which becomes a disco, sounds very wrong, is loads of fun :-D

Occy Therapy so some shared modules with Physio, the Physio students are all really engaged in the course and it is incredibly competitive to get on to, something like 20 applications for each place this year.
