It&#8217;s actually turned out to be one of the things I&#8217;ve really loved about York.

Apart from the lovely people (that I still live with now), one of the best things for me was the choice and support provided by the uni and my college.<\/p>\n<p>For starters York has a group of students\u00a0called STYCs (second and third year contacts). Basically they&#8217;re a bunch of existing students who volunteer to help make your Freshers Week great. They help you move in, show you the college, take you to events, look out for you and lend an ear if needed. Every night of Freshers Week there is a drinking event and a non-drinking event &#8211; from clubbing and karaoke, to film nights and board games. You can go along to whatever you feel like! The atmosphere here is inclusive and friendly. Having been both a fresher and a STYC, I can safely say that York&#8217;s Freshers Week rocks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-850\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/IMG_2223.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-850\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-850 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/IMG_2223.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"IMG_2223\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/IMG_2223.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/IMG_2223.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First night of my freshers!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Beyond Freshers Week<\/h3>\n<p>In my experience this great atmosphere extends to nights out generally too.
