Hello,
YSJ allows mature students on every accommodation site.
However, I believe 49 Clarence street gives mature and students with accessibility issues priority. Multiple sites such as St. John Central and Brickworks offer studios and some mature students will opt for this as they can be supported by YSJ accommodation but live independently.
However, I know plenty of mature students that stayed in halls and had a great time.

Same as me. I'm a prospective international postgraduate student hoping to start at Ysju in September 2022. I've applied for accommodation but the information I got is that it is not guaranteed for matured students. I'm searching for private accommodation.

Hello,
Age does not make a difference when it comes to accommodation offers. The university guarantees it for all first year students but they would try their best to get you a room too.
You would be more than welcome to choose any site but 49 Clarence street gives mature and students with accessibility issues priority.

Good to know then. I will wait to see the result. Is it advisable to get an accommodation in Leeds and be commuting to York for lectures? Thank you Lydia.

Honestly, I personally would not recommend it as that would end in both commuting fees and having to pay for accommodation at the same time. Also, whilst the journey isn't too long it could get a little tiresome and you would be reliant on trains.
There are lots of private sites - some of which are listed on our website here:
https://www.yorksj.ac.uk/study/accommodation/
You can also have a look at local estate agents that manage student properties to see what they have available. Some may even be looking for a single tenant to join them.
YSJ also has a Facebook page for students needing accommodation that is managed by our accommodation team. It has lots of one off rooms which could work for you!

Thank you Lydia. Please I would like to have some guidance on how it works in UK. If I sign a year contract do I need to pay for the one year rent in advance? Or do I pay quarterly or monthly?

Hello,
Apologies for my delayed response! I don't know how I missed that.
Rent is paid termly so in line with each loan drop. For example, you will pay for the first term of rent when the first installment of loan is given to you. I found this great as the rent came out before I could spend it!

Hello,
As Lydia mentioned the University offer mature student accommodation at 49 Clarence Street details can be found on the York St John website. I actually lived at 49 Clarence street in my first year. It was a really good option, really close to the university like a two minute walk. Also there was a real mix of ages. Most students were around 24/25
This maybe something worth looking into if not you could always look at private housing
Good luck with whatever you decide. York is a beautiful city to call home
