It seems bizarre looking back, but when I was choosing my five universities, York was my fifth. I\u2019d filled up my other four options and added York at the bottom simply because I needed another. But after doing a little more research, I discovered that English at York was ranked 2nd in the UK by the Sunday Times and that their course content was greater in variety than anywhere else I\u2019d looked. So, to avoid missing out, I booked to visit York for a Post Offer Visit Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring the city<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Why
York Minster<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rather than visiting with my parents, I came up with two of my friends from home who were also applying for English. I\u2019d recommend doing this if you have the option, as I found my impressions of the university were less coloured by my parents\u2019 opinions this way. Plus, I didn\u2019t have to deal with my dad falling asleep during another sample lecture\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also gave us the opportunity to explore the city at our own leisure, wandering between a few pubs in the evening and checking out cool cafes in the morning. When you\u2019re looking at universities, it\u2019s easy to get caught up in course content and other specifics. Obviously, your course is very important as it\u2019s what you\u2019re paying over nine grand a year for. But it\u2019s just as important that you feel at home wherever you\u2019re living.<\/strong> Leaving home can be a tough time and choosing somewhere that you\u2019ll feel comfortable can make the transition easier. So, whenever you visit a new university, try and imagine yourself there in a year\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

York is such a beautiful place, and I found it had a similar feel to my hometown, Shrewsbury. Even though the campus is separate from the city, it\u2019s only a half-hour walk or a quick bus ride away. This really appealed to me, as I didn\u2019t want to feel like I was stuck on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On to the university<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The day began with a welcome talk from various staff within the department. This introduced the structure of the course, with examples of some modules which the department had run in the past. Part of what makes York\u2019s English course so unique is that it doesn\u2019t limit your studies to obviously \u2018English\u2019 texts. You won\u2019t be made to read Shakespeare\u2019s entire folio but will instead be offered the chance to read a variety of texts from different cultures<\/strong>. In my first year, I studied everything from Ancient Greek plays to Latin American poetry. What really captured me in the welcome talk was the enthusiasm with which Dr Kenneth Clarke spoke about Dante and Seamus Heaney \u2013 I knew I wouldn\u2019t be zoning out in lectures with such enthusiastic teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, we had a third-year student take us on a campus tour. I will admit, I don\u2019t think York\u2019s brutalist architecture is universally appealing. But the lake is gorgeous, and there are green spaces everywhere. I loved the fact that the library was open 24\/7,<\/strong> as this would mean I could escape from being stuck working in my room. This proved to be very important, given the large volume of solo reading you must do as an English student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we returned to the English Department for tea, cake and a chat with the department staff. This was very informal, so we felt like we could ask any questions, big or small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left York after the Post Offer Visit Day feeling much more positive than I had expected to feel. My \u2018random\u2019 fifth choice had far surpassed any of my other options. Now that I\u2019m in my second year, I\u2019m only enjoying the course more and more as time goes on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
