Ah it's no problem at all!
One thing to bare in mind is that the Streetview images are a couple of years old now, so don't have some of the redevelopments that have happened on Hes West and don't have Constantine College on Hes East.
For History Soc, we do Meet the Tutors, usually at the start of the year or around January time where you get to meet some of the tutors one-on-one to discuss their career, interests, or just general things, all over free wine (worth going for that if anything...). The socials are mostly themed nights to clubs, such as historical periods (personal advice from experience - don't wear a toga when it's raining in November...) or historical characters, as well as just general nights out; and of course formals at Christmas and in the summer
Last year I think the Soc team tried to do an event every 2 - 3 weeks, and they were all pretty good
They also organise events to meet alumni to discuss how their careers have gone, and how they've used their degrees; and have guests speakers visit for an informal evening. Last year, the one I remember was Adam Hart Davis of
What the Romans Did for Us and I'm sure we also had one from
Horrible Histories come along too
Oh, and the trips of course...
If you love pubs then you're more than welcome at Real Ale Soc
Even if you're not big into ale (though if you are that's an enormous bonus) you're more than welcome to come along just to enjoy the atmosphere of traditional pubs
My housemate is on the committee of that, so can try and find out what they've got planned if you like?
The clubs in York are alright. They're not the same as in a city like Leeds or Manchester, but they're generally decent. It's a shame that my favourite, The Duchess, has closed this year
Fibbers and Salvation are probably my other two personal favourites. On student nights they're pretty cheap too (avoid town on Saturday at all costs...)
