Art History at York, is it the right choice?

So, aside from the info listed on the website, how's the department in general. Teaching quality, interdepartmental optional courses, abroad opportunities, placements, undergrad research opportunities, etc. And the thing is that I'm way exceeding the conditional offer they've offered me (AAB, and I've got A*A*A*). So, I do get a feeling that It's not worth it (don't get me wrong, just noticed they only need BBC for clearing applicants.)

Why did you pick this course originally?

Could the BBC for clearing applicants be a special case for this year only though because of the whole calculate grade thing? Where else did you have in mind instead of York?

Thanks for the reply. I guess you are right, these must be exceptions. So, because of the reasons said on the post above, I think I haven't made full use of everything in my application. Btw, my apologies for misleading this thread, my intention is to learn more about the uni and this course. My bad for adding these words behind.

What would you like to know about the uni. The thing is with unis it can be great for one course and not for another. Son had it as his insurance uni for biology where it was rated 3rd in country. He ended up doing a masters there amd it does indeed have a great dept however the English dept was only providing 4hours contact time. So you are actually asking the right questions but probably at the wrong time. With those grades you could go to Oxford. The problem here is Tsr is great for STEM subjects not so good for Art in particular. Lovely campus, historic city but I hope you get an Art historian's view.

Have a look at the old thread Leeds or York for Art History/English. Should be below in list of like threads. Good insight from alumni.

Yes, I fully understand that. And thank you for sharing this inside info. Btw, I've been in contact with York and other institutes when doing my application. The fact is that York's replies towards my queries are real academically professional and always good insights into the department. Also, the reply comes super fast, I guess my first impression on the department was based on that.
