Meet Biology student Navin, from India.
What I love about
studying at YorkOne of my top concerns as anoverseas student arriving in the UK –and that of my parents – was safety.
For me, the University of York met
all the criteria. It’s situated in one of
the safest cities in the UK and has
a stunning, expansive campus.
The international recruitment teamprovided excellent assistanceduring the application process,from promptly answering my emails
and taking my calls to helping with
the VISA procedure. It made me
confident that I would have that
support once I got to university.
Even during the peak of the covid
pandemic, the University waslooking out for me, checking up
via email and hosting virtual events
so I could meet people in mydepartment and in my college. My
academic supervisor even offeredto do my grocery shopping when
I had to isolate for a few days.

Adjusting to life in the UK
Growing up in Goa, culturally andgeographically distinct from the UK,
my first few weeks here felt entirely
foreign to me. But everyone I met,
fellow students and university staff,
was friendly and welcoming. The
activities on offer helped me form
strong connections with people frommy college and course.
I soon got to know interesting
people from around the world anddeveloped a strong friendshipnetwork, which has lasted to this day.
I feel as if I have found a home awayfrom home. At York, I have never felt
alone.

What would you say tosomeone considering
studying in the UK?
I am glad I chose to study in the UK.
That feeling of being understoodby people from different reaches of
the world makes you feel as if you
are part of something bigger. I’ll behonest, as an international student,

it's not a matter of if you’ll get culture
shock, but a matter of when. But giveit time: you’ll soon meet people on
your wavelength.
The UK is a fantastic place to pursue
your education. The quality ofeducation is practically unmatched,
and the research prospects areenormous. I have been surroundedby some of the warmest people in
the world. I’m positive that I wouldn’t
be the independent, self-confident
person I am now if I hadn’t travelled
all the way to the UK.

FROM HOME.”

BUDGETING

york.ac.uk/ug-bursaries

Meet Biomedical Sciences student Zuzanna.
Living on a budget
I like to plan out a weekly budget.
At the start of a semester, I will takethe money I have in my bank (minus
any accommodation payments) anddivide it by the number of weeks
I will be in York for that semester.
This gives me a rough idea of what
I have available each week.
Shopping at places like Aldi and
Lidl is a great way to save cash.
Meal planning and going in witha list is also a great way to avoid
some unnecessary spending.
But remember that you do deserveto treat yourself every so often. Yorkis an amazing city full of different
cafes and restaurants to try, so doallow yourself to check them out
and get a taste of something new!

Accommodation costs
Living on campus in my first year, I
was in a self-catered, ensuite room.
Now, I live in a shared five-bedroom
house and share a bathroom withanother housemate. My rent iscovered by my loan, but heatingand electricity prices are now moresignificant. Heating is included in
on-campus accommodation so I
would say, make the most of this.

Zuzanna received the YorkBursary to assist with her
costs of living. This bursary
is automatically awarded to
students from lower income
households based on anassessment carried out byStudent Finance.

Making money
To help with the cost of living, I havea part-time job. Even with a lack ofexperience, I quickly found a job asa waitress in town to supplement myfunds. There are generally plenty ofvacancies available in the city. But
this isn’t the only work to do in York!

The University itself has shops andfood venues that employ lots ofstudents. You can also become astudent ambassador, which is anamazing way to make money, gain
valuable experience and meet new
people. It’s a flexible role: you canpick and choose the jobs you’d be up
for, like leading tours or helping out
with Open Days.
There are also scholarships andbursaries available from the
University. For example, this year I
received the York Bursary, available
for UK undergraduate students fromlower income households.
