Uni of York Accommodation

Hi! I have firmed York for PPE and have been looking at accommodation. I like David Kato and Anne Lister but am not someone who enjoys drinking so want to make sure I don't join an college where this is a main stereotype (although I understand that it will depend on who you are in a flat with!) Can anyone help with the stereotypes/choosing York accommodation?

Hi! It is difficult to say what the college stereotypes are because the students in them are different each year. I am only aware of a few stereotypes that have stuck and those being Alcuin is the quiet college, Derwent is the party college, and James is the sporty college. Other than that your college experience will be mostly made up by who your flatmates are and who your college friends are. David Kato and Anne Lister are the newest and nicest colleges and everyone wants to be in them. They are the most popular because of that.
