It is a great place to study and I would recommend it to anyone. I made loads of friends who I still see regularly some 10 years later. It is not a huge university which makes it al the more friendly and is set on a lovely campus. The student Union is a great place with plenty of things going on and there is a big library, sports centre etc etc.

York Uni is a combination of several colleges on one campus…read more It is set in beautiful grounds with lakes and has a pub and a bar, bookshop and library. I have stayed here as an academic but it really is the cheapest place to stay if you want a holiday or have business in York. Out of term time they do very cheap B & B and also self catering apartments for 6 or more. It is all under £100 each for the week. I think a twin room is around the £80 mark and that includes breakfast. It is an easy stroll into York. I remember one student saying he had gone for a walk to the kebab shop and seen some pseudo walls like a film set. NO The Barbican and medieval walls! Off the campus in the other direction is the village of Hesslington which has a couple of decent pubs that do food but of course there is all that York can offer in the way of food and entertainment the other way. Heslington makes a nice, quite change one evening though. The reason for the 4 stars. Well student accomodation is very basic but it is the b*y ducks! You cannot easily sit on the grass and you trail in duck pup. They started with 2 (think they are Canadian geese) and now they have hundreds! Anyway all of you wanting to visit York here is the cheap B & B! Giving away my secrets now it will be full when I want to go :)

The University of York campus is sandwiched between the city walls and the pretty village of…read moreHeslington. Its sixties concrete building were considered quite innovative at the time, I believe, but they take a bit of getting used to. Luckily, there's a very pleasant campus to help on that front, though the geese are far less welcoming. York is the only university in the country without a central student venue so don't expect a packed SU bar; the majority of the college bars are pretty dead, when they're open. The closest thing to a student bar you'll find is the King Charles XII pub in Heslington village; their cheap booze ensures they're rammed to the rafters with students in term-time. Otherwise it's but a twenty-minute walk to the centre of town and its plethora of bars, pubs and restaurants.

As well as a little cafe, here you can paint your own pottery…read more There's a £2.50 studio fee and once you're in you get a choice of numerous items, such as mugs, plates, teapots, candle holders, garden ornaments, etc. Prices are clearly labelled on the bottom of all items, I think the cheapest was about £3.50 going all the way up to around £30 for the larger items. I opted to paint a mug. Once I'd decided I was shown to a table and given clear instructions of what to do. There was even a little ideas book which I used for inspiration. The staff were very attentive and the whole experience was fun!! I'd definitely go back again. Left my pottery to be glazed and baked in the kiln and received a call a few days later to say it was ready to be collected. Nicely packaged in a box too to stop any breakages. With a display of numerous home made cakes and sweet things, there's literally something for everyone. There's loads of gluten free options too!! I had a huge slice of the chocolate orange cake once I'd finished painting, and I kid you not, it was the best chocolate orange cake I've ever had - so much so that I really should have asked for the recipe!!

It covers Auckley, Branton, Finningley and Blaxton and has quite a high attendance rate but there are still a few spaces this year as far as I know. It is by far the very best nursery I've come across with my little boy, and I know that every parent at the school would say exactly the same thing. The nursery teacher, Mrs Foreman, is the most enthusiastic person I've ever met and the kids absolutely adore her (so do the parents!). I couldn't believe that the little monster who doesn't listen to a word I say will sit, completely mesmerised, when Mrs F reads him a story! If you live anywhere near this area at all, I'd highly recommend a visit to this nursery before you consider any others. I really can't express enough just how great it is (and no, I don't work there!)

I know a few people with kids at this school and they all say that it is really good. My son went…read moreto the nursery for a year and came on leaps and bounds. They seem to take a real interest in the kids and treat them all as individuals. My little boy was always bringing things home and telling us stories about what him and the other boys had been doing, which he never did at the day nursery he'd been to before. Parking is a bit of a problem at times as there isn't much room for the school and a lot of kids come from outside the area, so be really careful with little ones on the road. Otherwise I can't fault the place.
