Apologies for jumping into your conversation. I'm going into my second year in September.

Just wanted to say, that you should definitely leave extra time if you're travelling between campuses (it's free on the 66 and 66a) because during the peak hours, the buses will be packed and you're likely to wait for the next one. Having said that, they do run extra buses during peak hours (66X which serves the train station and only serves limited stops including the campuses). Alternatively, you could invest in a bike and cycle between the campuses (there should be a dedicated cycle path) and definitely spaces to lock your bike. Hope this helps.

thank you so much that's very kind of you to offer advice. Something I hadn't thought about especially with social distancing and stuff that buses will be a lot busier/ have lower capacity!! Will have to look into how it all works when I get there I guess, again thank you! While you're here , opinion on York? Don't worry you can't scare me off now haha

No worries.

Just to clear up on the teaching and learning plans for at least the autumn term of 2020/21, the uni has said that they aim to deliver as much face-to-face teaching where possible. All large lectures will be pre-recorded and available online but there will be some face-to-face teaching in the following forms: seminar, workshops, tutorials, etc. Should you need to travel between campuses, the buses can get busy quick especially with social distancing but I think extra capacity will be provided in some way - tbh, it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Hope you don't mind @CoffeeAndPolitics but was just wondering where I could find specific guidance for the Politics department about arrangements for September. Had my place confirmed there now

https://coronavirus.york.ac.uk/for-students/autumn-term-2020 - General information about the Autumn term 2020/21.

I don't know any specific guidance and information from the Politics department regarding Covid arrangements for September I'm afraid. Given that you're a new student joining in September, you should hear from them soon and do check out their Twitter (uniyorkpolitics) and Instagram (uniofyorkpoliticsdept) as well for updates.

Btw, are you doing straight politics or joint honours such as history/politics? I'm currently studying Social and Political Sciences and will be going into my second year in September. Hope this helps!

Thanks. I'm guessing we'll get an email about it sometime soon - hoping all goes ahead ok in September! I'm doing Politics and IR so similar course. How do you find studying SPS at York? Quite interesting times to study it
