Hi all,<\/p>\n

So if you’re in AS year, you’ll be beginning to think about where to apply to and getting your applications started, and if you’re in final year, you’ll be waiting for your offers eagerly and wondering what to choose as your firm and insurance!<\/p>\n

Firstly… Try not to stress<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n

I’m not here to promote the University of York directly, but I am here to tell you about my experience of it… I could go on for pages but will try my best not to!<\/p>\n

My biggest piece of advise in choosing your University, is to go and see them! I was so stuck about my firm choice between Durham and York, so I went to see them both and just knew I wanted to be at York. I felt happy there, I could see myself living there, and I got a brilliant vibe of enthusiasm and passion from the Psychology department.<\/p>\n

And 2 years on… I’m the boss<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Obviously league tables and the rankings of places have their importance, but I think it’s much more important to be somewhere that you are happy. You have to live, work and study their for 3 years minimum – so choose somewhere you can call home<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
