“I graduated from there after studying their Liberal Arts Foundation. Great university with staff who take the time to support you, and as a plus the city centre is only a 10-minute walk away. The architecture is a mix of the traditional and the modern, which makes it a very interesting place visually. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend York St John to anyone.”
