With so many great universities around, making the choice about where you want to study your degree is far from easy. Whilst it\u2019s true that all universities hold their own appeal, I know I\u2019m not alone when I say that the University of York is special. In fact, within the first hour of visiting campus, I knew I wanted to study here. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, sit back and let me take you through the top three reasons why I chose York<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason 1<\/b>: A close-knit community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing that drew me to York was the way the University is set out. We\u2019re a campus-based uni as opposed to a \u2018city uni\u2019 which is spread out and mixed in with a more urban environment. Different styles of uni are appealing to different people depending on personal preference. What I love about York\u2019s campus-based style is the feeling of a close-knit student community on campus. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of York has a \u2018student village\u2019 style in the lovely leafy Heslington, which provides the special feeling of students all living and studying together on campus (with an option to live off-campus if you like). Conveniently, there is also a small retail scene, comprised of convenience shops like Nisa, a Greggs on campus east, and hairdressers on both east and west campus. The campus also has a number of student bars with access to the sports channels, saving you the trouble of making your way into the city to have a pint and watch the game. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The landscape is beautiful and we have thriving wildlife sharing our campus – including our infamous campus geese! We promise they\u2019re friendly enough!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason 2<\/b>: Fun for everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is always something to do! <\/span>Living on campus at York, you\u2019d struggle to be bored. When you\u2019re not busy with timetabled learning or independent study, there\u2019s a variety of events and <\/span>societies<\/a> you can get involved in.

Student societies are one of my favourite parts of the University. There\u2019s such a wide variety that at least one of them is bound to pique your interest. Last year, I had a blast taking part in a number of week-long live role-play type games with the Humans, Assassins and Zombies Society (HAZsoc), whilst simultaneously learning salsa with the Latin-American Society, and getting involved with the geeky fun of the Dungeons and Dragons Society.

Societies aside, the whole university and the individual colleges that form it put on a number of fun and exciting events, ranging all the way from football and rugby to our own \u2018bake-off\u2019 style competition in Goodricke College. There really is something for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason 3: Excellent teaching and support<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

York\u2019s style of teaching and supporting students is among the best I\u2019ve seen. I am currently a second-year student at York Law School, so I can\u2019t speak too much for the other subject areas available at York, but the help and support I\u2019ve received from the uni as a whole has been wonderful. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019ve run into non-university related issues, staff have been really supportive, keen to get me back on my feet. Staff are enthusiastic and seem genuinely glad to be part of the uni. It really shows in the effort and dedication they put into their respective roles as tutors, lecturers, pastoral support, etc… <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of our courses have great academic prospects and excellent career-based opportunities like a year abroad or in industry. Most departments also host regular events related to different jobs and <\/span>postgraduate education. These are helpful when you’re thinking about what to pursue after graduation. And it doesn\u2019t hurt your CV that we\u2019re a well-respected Russell Group University either…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So overall?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I chose York because it’s a great place to study, have fun and make friends. My time here so far has been nothing but enjoyable. I would highly recommend that you strongly consider coming here for your degree!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
