You\u2019ve made the amazing decision to go to university and experience student life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s three reasons why the University of York was the right choice for me. Hopefully, they will help you with your decision about choosing a university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Research, teaching and learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, I wanted to be at a Russell Group university. For me, a university with a reputation for outstanding research would be the best gateway to a future successful career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I then narrowed down my options based on the teaching in the course itself. Personally I&#8217;ve always been interested in justice so I looked towards degrees that explored this and found a Law degree best suited my interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brings me to the teaching method used on my course, which I argue is the most stimulating method a student could ever learn by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Problem-based learning\u2019 is how we work at York Law School. This encompasses team building to solve a problem. This method has introduced me to people from all walks of life, whose ideas have moulded my understanding of the world around me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you value hands-on work experience, this teaching method is perfect for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complexity of the modules has been a bit challenging at times, but lecturer support hours have been really helpful here. Plus, I&#8217;ve received really useful careers advice from an amazing Careers and Placement team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Come to an open day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, another important requirement for me in choosing a university was being in an environment where I could feel at home. Coming from a family of seven, I love surrounding myself with people! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attending a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/undergraduate\/visits\/open-days\/\">University of York open day<\/a> was really great for me. I found out that every <a aria-label=\"college (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/student-life\/colleges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">college<\/a> offers pastoral support, which ranges from adults to fellow students. This really helped me feel comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I can safely say that this pastoral support has been fundamental in ensuring that I have been in a good headspace throughout my time at university. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Choosing your university &#8211; it&#8217;s not just a degree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirdly, I really wanted to be at a university that had lots to do. With over <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/student-life\/societies\/\">200 clubs and societies<\/a><\/strong>, ranging from sports to a hummus appreciation society, I&#8217;ve never run out of things to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only are the number of societies plentiful, but they are also friendly and welcoming. Everyone is encouraged to \u2018give it a go\u2019 as you never know what you may like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, when choosing a university, pick the one you feel the most comfortable with. I can say with pride that I love going to the University of York. I\u2019ve had the best all-round experience whilst being here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find out <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/whats-uni-like\/\">what university is really like<\/a> from our student bloggers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations!
