Official York St John University 2021 applicant thread

Hi, I'm Jake and I'm starting in September. I can play bass or help with production. What kind of stuff do you like singing?

Hi. Trying to decide on 1st year accommodation. What is the general feel? I'm thinking Brickworks or Central?

Hi @Chatlotte488

Both Brickworks and Central are more or less the same distance from the campus itself (about ten or 15 minutes walk), and both are apartment blocks, unlike other accommodation we have such as the Grange which is more of a townhouse situation.
Both are friendly and positive atmospheres like all our sites and many students are able to make their friends for life in our accommodation, much like I did. Each flat has a shared kitchen and the option for ensuite bathrooms, there is also the option for studios. Both sites also have shared laundry facilities, this means (like all most all other university accommodation sites across the country) it will cost a small fee to do your laundry. Lastly, both have secure bike access and so should you choose to keep a bike, you can keep it secure.

If you require disabled access, I would note that this is not always available at the Brickworks.

Unless you opt for a Studio at Central, the Brickworks is typically more expensive, so if cost is a concern you may prefer Central.

As I say, the general feel of both is a welcoming and positive environment for the 1st year student and many report the best times of their lives in our sites. I add that Central is one of our most popular accommodations!

I hope this helps and if you have any further questions please do ask!
All the best,
Cat, York St John University Student Ambassador

Hi there,
So my start date is 13th September and I was wondering what week would Freshers be as on the website it says the general start date is 27th September ? So would freshers be after I've started my course ?

Hello!

I’m heading off to York St John to study British Sign Language, Deaf studies and linguistics.

Anyone else planning on studying this course?

i have too, i haven't managed to find anyone else doing it either : )

omg thank god same!!! do you have a snapchat/instagram i could add?

Hi
I’m jade and I am a possible student of York St. John’s. I will be studying intercultural communications and linguistics with Korean. Right now in college I study politics, history and classics. I’ve secured a place at the boulevard student accommodation in York, if anyone else is staying there, we can always get in touch and become friends. Hopefully I’ll find someone who will be doing the same course as me.

Hi, I've set York st. John as my firm choice and I'm hoping to study Korean, TESOL and Linguistics, i'm not currently studying anything since I finished college a few years ago and decided that I wanted to go to uni this year. I'm a bit nervous since I'll be a few years older than the majority of students (i'm currently 21).

Heyy i'm Jaz. I'll hopefully be studying TESOL and linguistics with Korean which is a similar course to yours! Aw that's great that you have your accommodation sorted, I've applied for St. John Central accommodation but I still haven't heard anything back yet and nothing has came up on the accommodation hub either .

What course are you applying for?
Korean, TESOL and Linguistics
What subjects are you studying now?
French, English Literature, Moving Image Arts

Hii i'm Jaz. I'll hopefully be studying TESOL and linguistics with Korean too! Awh, what are you worried about? I feel like everyone will be accepting of each other and doubt the age gap will be a problem
