 " I was really nervous to move to York but I am so glad I did! The campus is really easy to navigate and I have found the content of my course to be really engaging. The staff and fellow students I have met have been really friendly so far and I have made lots of friends "

 " The school has a good environment, especially on the east campus. Really like the view on east campus. Though if you want to leave east campus, it might take ages, because the bus in York is really slow. "

 " I am satisfied with my choice of selecting this Masters course. It is theoretical and practical at the same time, depending on how you make use of what you have learned for your future career. The campus is extremely huge, so if you prefer nature and a quiet environment to learn, this will be the best place to go (loads of ducks near the lake)! The city centre of York is just a few minutes from the campus, so when you are stressful, you can always leave the campus and have a break. Everything in the campus / university is wonderful to me, however, I would appreciate more if the university / departmental administrative staff are friendlier and more polite. It would also be great if a diverse social scene on campus can be more often seen. "

 " Fantastic place to go to university. The University of York is like a blank canvas, in the sense that your experience is what you make of it. So many societies to choose from too!
The Economics faculty are incredibly nice, and genuinely want you to succeed - if you attend lectures, seminars, and office hours, you'll be fine and have a fantastic experience. The only lacking area is that the sports facilities are really expensive, and not accessible to poorer students. "

 " I have had a positive experience overall. The halls were expensive and minimum student loan does not cover this. There is parking on campus but you are not allowed to park there as a student monday-Friday. "
