Sports and social
We want you to enjoy your time at York and get the most out of the opportunities available to you. We have a full calendar of social and sporting events to get you started, however this is not exhaustive - we invite our students to add to the programme as much as they wish!

“York is Great! The staff are all really, really good, helpful, knowledgable, approachable and reliable... that's academic as well as support staff. The location is just right, out of town and away from noise and bustle but such easy access on foot or by road. It's small enough that you get to know people relatively quickly and people make an effort to mix... the social side is what you make it and the Student Support service are good at allowing us to suggest things and helping bring them together, on top of College run events”
