The second university open day I attended was an open day at The University Of York. The Campus:Granted, the campus was very beautiful and there was a wide range of accommodation options. Also, the facilities for my subject were fantastic and most defiantly of a professional standard. Also, the professors were a bit difficult in terms of personality. They were defiantly trying to sell the university but were putting other institutions down in the process. I also didn't feel very comfortable on campus and therefore, do not think I will be applying here. The Accommodation:The accommodation at York was very small and uncomfortable and therefore, if I am not going to be happy with where I am living (even if it's just one year), I do not believe there is much point in going to this university. You can defiantly see that there are some older accommodations and some newer ones. The Course:The course at York was a good one. However, years abroad are not encouraged and the Erasmus programme is the only company I could go through to spend a year abroad. Therefore, I will not be able to leave Europe during my exchange. Also, despite the fact the facilities were excellent, I just don't like the layout of the course, it doesn't give me enough time to specialise in my chosen area. The Location & Opportunities: Conclusion:Overall, I don't think that York is the right place for me for several reasons: the course is not right for me, I wouldn't get in as York is a Russell Group University because I have not attended a grammar school and I got average grades in my GCSEs. Also, I don't think I'd be happy there as the accommodation is not good quality as it is extremely cramped but expensive for what it is. Sources:
