The University of York is a beautiful campus university just outside of the city centre, making it the perfect location to separate that hard study life from the well needed down time with friends in the various places for entertainment in the city.
The campus also has a variety of events going on throughout the week with hundreds of societies hosting exciting things to get involved in after those lectures and seminars.
In terms of workload and manageability, the university offers great help and advice to relieve students of any stress as staff members are extremely supportive. The workload in my personal experience is challenging however extremely doable within the given time frame. This is perfect for juggling the exciting mixture of social and academic experiences which the university has to offer.
