The University of York was established in 1963. The main campus is about three kilometres from the centre of York and the total student population is now about 8,200. The university is organised around seven colleges, each of which has its own teaching rooms and laboratories, library, common room, cafeteria, dining room, bar and residential rooms with small kitchens. All students are allocated to a particular college, and will live there for a large part of their university career unless they prefer off-campus accommodation. The University also has a large Sports Centre and two concert halls.
Norwegian students are free to use the cafeterias, library, common rooms, etc.
