We live really close to Campus East, so it&#8217;s a quick walk to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york-sport.com\/village\/\">Sport Village<\/a> for us. I probably spend a couple of hours there before heading back for some breakfast and to get ready for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I head to campus around lunchtime, either to Computer Science&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/my.matterport.com\/show\/?m=aPRYVvp8ra6\">Pod<\/a> or a room in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/campus-investment\/projects\/piazza\/\">Piazza<\/a>. Both are great places to go if you need a quiet place to work. You can book them out any time between 7:30am and 10pm to watch some lectures and hang out with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon, I have a Cryptography seminar, which we mainly use for discussing the questions in the week&#8217;s problem sheet, and working through the ideal solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tuesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesdays I have an in-person lecture. I spend the morning at home, or walk onto campus to watch more lectures if I have them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, I meet up with some friends for the lecture, and we all head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/food-drink\/glasshouse\">Glasshouse<\/a> in Langwith for lunch afterwards. From there, I&#8217;ll either stay on campus to work on my dissertation (since I&#8217;m in my 3rd Year now) or head back home and work from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wednesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday starts out with a trip to the gym. Given it&#8217;s freezing outside, it&#8217;s hard to convince myself to get out of bed for it. I&#8217;ll have a similar day to Monday, studying in the Pod with a few other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Department-of-Computer-Science-Foyer-and-Pod-pod-entrance-1280x720-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Department-of-Computer-Science-Foyer-and-Pod-pod-entrance-1280x720-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C576\" alt=\"Computer Science Pod has plenty of seating and desks for study.\" class=\"wp-image-9355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Department-of-Computer-Science-Foyer-and-Pod-pod-entrance-1280x720-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Department-of-Computer-Science-Foyer-and-Pod-pod-entrance-1280x720-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Department-of-Computer-Science-Foyer-and-Pod-pod-entrance-1280x720-1.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Department-of-Computer-Science-Foyer-and-Pod-pod-entrance-1280x720-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pod is amazing for students. It has a little kitchen area you can use to heat up food or make hot drinks for yourself. I usually bring some food with me to eat for dinner there and spend my evening with <a href=\"https:\/\/cybersoc.co.uk\/\">CyberSoc<\/a> at a talk or workshop. I&#8217;m a committee member for the society, and love helping out other members where I can! Sometimes I join the rest of the society at the <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/food-drink\/glasshouse\">Glasshouse<\/a> for a few drinks afterwards, which is a great way to get to know people in a more social setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thursday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday is another on-campus day for me, and I spend most of the morning and afternoon there. Recently, I&#8217;ve been booking out a room with friends in the Piazza to use for the day. We&#8217;ve found it really helpful for working through lectures or practicals together. There&#8217;s also a Starbucks just downstairs, which makes it far too easy to get our coffee refills!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Computer-Science-Software-lab-from-lecturn-1280x720-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Computer-Science-Software-lab-from-lecturn-1280x720-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C576\" alt=\"Computer Science software lab full of top spec desktop computers.\" class=\"wp-image-9351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Computer-Science-Software-lab-from-lecturn-1280x720-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Computer-Science-Software-lab-from-lecturn-1280x720-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Computer-Science-Software-lab-from-lecturn-1280x720-1.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Computer-Science-Software-lab-from-lecturn-1280x720-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I round out the day on campus with a practical in the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.matterport.com\/show\/?m=MR8A2XXkcYA\">software labs<\/a>. The labs are open 24\/7, and are full of computers you can log into to do work. I&#8217;ve found this really helpful if you want to work on campus and easily access any of your University files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After my practical, I&#8217;ll head home and quickly make some food for myself, before walking over to West Campus for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yorkbigband\">Jazz &amp; Big Band<\/a> rehearsal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday starts with another gym visit, and after that, I don&#8217;t have anything timetabled. This gives me a lot of flexibility to plan in some time to get work done. But I also like to meet up with friends and go into town. I usually take my stuff over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/food-drink\/courtyard\">Courtyard<\/a> and spend a couple of hours working there, before meeting a couple of friends to play pool and have some food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was looking back through my calendar to see what kinds of things I usually get up to on Friday evenings. Overwhelmingly, it seems to be a day when I go to the cinema!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saturday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturdays start with a quick catch up call with the Yordevs committee \u2013 Yordevs is the University&#8217;s web development society \u2013 to plan the next week&#8217;s events and talk about some of the work we&#8217;ve been doing. After that, I&#8217;ll make some lunch and then spend a little bit more time working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At about 4pm, I walk over to Campus West again for a <a href=\"https:\/\/concert-band.co.uk\/\">Concert Band<\/a> committee meeting. After the meeting, we go straight into a rehearsal for the band itself, which usually sees us practising pieces for an upcoming concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After rehearsal, we almost <strong>always<\/strong> go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/food-drink\/vanbrugh-arms\">Vanbrugh Arms<\/a> (or, as we affectionately call it, \u201cV-Bar\u201d) to spend the rest of the evening there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sundays are a free day for me, in terms of planned events, so I spend them at home finishing off any remaining work before the next week starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campus is also very quiet on weekends. I love to take myself off to the Computer Science buildings and work there, too. You can do so without any distractions at all! It&#8217;s such a lovely environment to study in. I&#8217;d definitely recommend buying a reusable coffee cup and some tea bags to take advantage of the Pod&#8217;s kitchen area!<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there!
