I've accepted an offer to study at York. I am wondering if anyone lives there, or if not just in general, should I go for a 50cc or a 125cc scooter/moped for general getting around town and to and from the university?
Thanks in advance.

Then it depends on your age and if there's any difference from insurance.
I can't think of any other reason to get a 50cc instead a 125cc unless you have a car licence which means you get the 50cc AM licence with 1 CBT course instead of having to do it every 2 years unless you pass a motorbike test*.
An electric pushbike might be good enough for you if you don't mind being stuck at 15 MPH without pedaling faster.
* In other EU countries they get a motorbike licence with a car licence.

Depends where you're living, but powered vehicles are not very helpful in a small city. Walking and cycling will be a lot less hassle.

What's a 20 minute commute? Outside the city on A roads, that might be 20 miles. For A roads a 125 would be the smallest engine size to keep up with the traffic (50cc on A roads are unsafe and frightening - especially with HGVs). But 20 minutes across a city by car at rush hour could be a couple of miles, and cycling or walking would be as quick.
