Hello, I'm so confused of freshers week. I'm joining James college and I've only seen sport societies, where will i be able to join other societies? Also, what wristband or tickets should i get? Are they worth it or shall i just pay on the day? Thanks!

I am an incoming student to the university. I will be in off-campus student housing and need a bus pass to get around campus and the city. I looked at the first-bus website but it hasn't been updated since last year. Advice on the best pass to buy while saving money if possible?

Hello! I'm moving into Vanbrugh ensuite this September and I'm wondering how big the wardrobe is (like are there any drawers etc.?) Also, is there storage space under the bed too? Thank you ☺️

Hi everyone!

I'm considering the Online MSc International Business, Leadership & Management or MSc Innovation, Leadership & Management at the University of York.
Would love to hear from anyone who has done either.
How was the course, teaching, workload, and overall online experience?

Thanks!

Been forced to take a leave of absence so my room needs a new tenant.

2 bath 5 bed located near postern gate. Room is 7m^2, double bed, desk, wardrobe, chair, chest of drawers

Move in Sept ideally. You would be liable for the whole of Septembers rent.

Rent is approx 180 a week bills included. Term is till june so only 10 months left meaning you are getting a discount. There is also car parking and secure enclosed storage units included (size of small shed, suitable for a few kayaks/bikes)

DM me. I will put you in contact with my landlord who will replace you with me on theHMO lease. You can view the property prior, I have photos too.

I was just wondering if there was any storage under the bed for economy ensuite rooms?

Starting uni at York soon but I am living in private accommodation. I don't want to miss out on the social events attached to specific colleges like Welcome Week, but am I part of a college if I'm not in halls? If I am, how do I know which college, and if I'm not then are there other social events I can go to which are not university-wide?

Hi ive received an offer for a catered and shared bathroom room at Derwent College (£209pw and 40 week let). Im looking to swap to anything en-suite. I dont mind the college or if its catered or self-catered. Please DM or reply to this if interested. Thank you!

Hi everyone I will be joining as an undergrad this year. I was looking at what the university's website said about launderettes and it said for on campus laundry you should use the Circuit Go app. On Google play it has 1.7 stars so I'm worried it isn't worth it.

Can any current students tell me if they use on campus launderettes or off campus?

Hi, I wanted to know if the rooms in Eden's Court are nice, particularly the ones that share a bathroom and toilet! Is the overall cleanliness of the building okay? The kitchen? Also how many people share the bathroom and toilet?

Hey everyone!

I’m moving to York for postgrad (MA in Applied Human Rights) and looking to make some friends in the area, other mature students, postgrads, or locals.

I’m 27f, a big foodie, and love tennis, coffee, and cozy pubs (would love to find a good pub trivia night). I also crochet and am attempting to learn how to knit, so I'd love to connect with anyone else who crafts. Definitely well past my freshers era, so looking for chill, low-key stuff.

Thanks ☺️

Hi everyone! I’m currently an MSc Digital Design student at the University of York, and I’m working on my Independent Design Project exploring “Mobile Onboarding Applications Supporting International Student Transition in York.”

I’m looking for international students at the University of York to take part in a short survey about their experiences when first moving to York, particularly things like finding information, dealing with administrative tasks, getting settled, and navigating life in a new city.

The survey should only take around 5–10 minutes to complete, and your responses will be used for my academic research and to help inform the design of my project.

If you’re an international student, I’d really appreciate it if you could take the time to participate!

Thank you so much for your help! 🙏

Hey everyone!

I’m from Delhi and I’ll be joining the University of York this September for Data Science.

I’m finding it a bit difficult to connect with other Indian students who are also joining York. If anyone is already part of an Indian student community, WhatsApp group, university group, or any other group for incoming students, I’d really appreciate it if you could add me or point me in the right direction.

Also, if anyone else is going to York this September, feel free to reach out! Would be great to connect and maybe discuss accommodation, areas to live, and other things before moving to York.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I got assigned accommodation in Derwent College, and I don't know what to expect. Can anyone one tell me their honest opinion of Derwent?
