Life at York University, offering tips and advice on accommodation and tenancy in York and the suyrrounding areas. Along with general tips on what to see and do in York and at the university. So it's only a few weeks to go now until I move to York and I've only just sorted out my accommodation and let me tell you, It's been a nightmare! As I joined York University quite late, I wasn't able to find a room in student halls as they were fully booked up so I've been looking for student houses and accommodation off campus to live in. Ideally I've been looking to live as close as possible to the campus as since this is the first time I am moving away, I don't want to get lost in a new city every day! So I took the decision to actually drive up to York last week and check out many of the rooms available.
