University of York

Hi, I'm considering applying for York next year. I was just wondering if anyone here could tell me what student life is like - in terms of accommodation, catering, diversity, lecturers, etc. It would be much appreciated!

Also, if anyone does a Psychology Integrated Masters at York; I would love to hear your experience of it, as this is the course I plan on applying for. Thank you!

Hi Jisradth,

There's lots to tell so I'll try and direct you to a few sources for each area you've asked about.

•

Accommodation. Lots of variety in terms of facilities, e.g. shared or en suite bathrooms, and price ranges. It's all based around colleges and all the information is listed on the accommodation page.

•

Catering. Some colleges are catered, some are self-catering. There are lots of places to buy food (e.g. groceries, cafes and take aways) on campus. York city centre is a short bus ride away and there are LOTS of very good restaurants, groceries and specialist shops in town 🙂

•

Diversity. I'd say very diverse, check out the societies page for a flavour of the different interests at York. All societies are really welcoming.

•

Psychology Course. Keep an eye on Unibuddy as the student ambassadors are on a rota and there are often psychology students on duty (I'd recommend chatting to the student ambassadors for a general questions too as they're really knowledgeable). There's also a nice video on Youtube from one of our psychology students too.
