Here's the Freshers group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/795849217156512/

And here's the applicants/offer holders group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/929368663748105/

They're pretty much the same thing, a lot of people are in both, including me :P

Ohhh Thank you so much! :biggrin:

I have been looking for this group in Facebook for months already. I found this instead...

It seemed really weird that there were only 5 members! :confused:

Yeah, usually a bunch pop up - a lot of them are run by promoters, so you'll get a couple of ads for competitions or club nights but it's pretty much just students posting in these ones at the moment!

I know when choosing accommodation that you can opt for quieter blocks/flats, does anyone know what these are like?

I really want to go to York too. As you said, it has my dream course combining theory and practice and it seems this will facilitate it for us to have more job opportunities in the future.

It's just so nerve wracking to even think about the possibility of getting less than what they require :frown:

I am trying my best now, even though I really appreciate these two weeks "off". I NEED them to become a human being again haha :biggrin:

Wow, didn't expect that :P I meant how so, do people still go out occasionally or is it filled with people who always stay in and study?

Exactly

Although, I have seen quite a few people get accepted even if they're one grade off I think, so that gives a bit more hope. At least we've got the offers, so we know we have a high chance of getting into York, we just need to prove it. If that makes any sense.

You too! Are you going to the offer holders day in a few weeks time?

I don't think so because I would have to fly over all the way from italy and I don't really have time with school and everything! I'd love to attend though, i've never even been to York :biggrin:

I have an offer for History at York and I was wondering how people are choosing their accommodation. I don't know what i really want, probably catered, but how is everyone else deciding which accommodation to choose?

I really haven't decided yet :/ each college seems to have its own personality and type of accommodation, i've been trying to form an idea of what i want and what each college is like! it's not easy though!!

hi there! i got my offer for film and tv production and am now looking into accommodation. :smile:

Considering the department is on the Heslington East side, can anyone tell me more about the Langwith, Constantine and Goodricke colleges? (Eg pros and cons?)

Also congrats to others who got their offers!

I've got an offer for Psychology (York is my favourite so i was really pleased about that) - but now the question is accommodation. I was thinking James, Derwent or Alcuin, but can't make my mind up - any suggestions/recommendations???

Hi Tiffanygan,

Congratulations on your offer! I'm from the Accommodation team at York. Our students are the real experts on the 'social' aspect of each college, but here are some pros and cons from an accommodation/facilities point of view:

- Goodricke is the nearest college to TFTV so it would be a great choice if you want to roll out of bed just before your lectures, but the other Heslington East colleges are slightly more recently built (Goodricke was built in 2009, Langwith opened in 2012, and Constantine was brand new for 2014)
- Langwith doesn't have its own common room, but you have access to the Goodricke and Constantine common rooms. It is, however, home to the Glasshouse - a really great bar run by the Students' Union.
- Constantine is the furthest college from TFTV, but it's still only about 5 minutes' walk away. It's also home to our only 'Deluxe' accommodation, which has a TV and sofas in the shared kitchens.

I hope that's a help, but let me know if you have any more questions!

- AM
