There’s almost as much to do in Old York as in New York! At University of York, the campus is located in a well maintained and walkable corner of the city, with shops, bars, and restaurants built in. There’s a bus service and many students take advantage of the two hour train to London. The university also has a very active student union, with 150 student organizations as well as planned tours, day trips, and other activities available to international students. Students should be prepared to spend a good deal of time with their home college, similar to the Greek system in many U.S. colleges. Each college has a common room, leadership board, and intense rivalry with other university colleges.
