We have nine accommodation sites managed by the university which include studio flats and shared flats or houses. All of our sites are within a 20-minute walk of our campus, 60% have ensuite bathrooms and all of them have WiFi access, it all adds up to a great place to live.

Location
Our campus is located in the centre of York, a city steeped in history. From shopping on the oldest street in Europe or finding out about local history to enjoying a film at our independent cinemas, we've got it all.
York's streets are lined with a mix of independent shops and cafes, well-known high street stores and plenty of restaurants. The city also hosts an annual calendar of festivals that showcase local talent and the history of the region. These include the renowned Aesthetica Short Film Festival, the Great Yorkshire Fringe Comedy Festival and the York Literature Festival.
Freshers' Week
At York St John University our Freshers' Week schedule is packed with a full range of events. From movie marathons and international food fairs, to pub quizzes and a pop-up petting zoo, you'll feel at home and be laughing with new friends in no time.
Our Students' Union continues to plan a full calendar of events throughout the year, even after Freshers' Week is finished, so you'll know there will always be something to get involved in.
