Postgraduate Accommodation at York

I'm starting a Masters in Architectural History at York in September 2017 and was wondering whether I could get some advice on accommodation in York, or even find people for a potential house share!

I will be new to the city of York, as i've previously studied in Sheffield and currently work in Leeds, so I actually know very little about the city in terms of the best places to live.

I am considering living in Post Grad halls for the year, although it's a very expensive option. My student housing experiences in Sheffield haven't been great in terms of landlords and neighbours, so halls could be the answer to a lot of that worry.

I don't even really know what area of York would be best to live in if I chose to privately rent or house share.

Could anyone share their experiences of student accommodation in the city, both halls and private rentals welcome!

I must admit, it's going to be very strange to move to York on my own. I have lived with my partner for eight years, and I didn't even live in halls during my undergraduate degree!
Hi,
I'm in a very similar situation- I'll be starting a PhD in biology in September, but I really don't want to move back into halls. I'd be interested in house sharing.
From what I can find, Fulford is one of the main post-grad areas, with Tang Hall and Fishergate also being key cheaper student areas. The prices seem to vary pretty widely between areas, but there were pretty big floods a couple of years ago which is another factor to consider. This is all from googling though, so other people will likely know more!
