Safety

York is consistently ranked highly for safety compared to other university cities.

Where you live is a big part of being at university. This is why our partner providers are registered with The ANUK National Code.

The Code provides reassurance that your accommodation is safe, well-managed, and has mechanisms to resolve any issues. Students living in ANUK code buildings can expect adherence to fire safety requirements, sufficient bathroom and kitchen facilities, advanced notice of managers accessing rooms or flats, and repairs to be completed within agreed timescales.

We provide support and assistance for students with disabilities or additional needs on a case by case basis. This ranges from allocation of a fully accessible wheelchair room to minor alterations such as supplying a fridge for medication.

We can make adjustments to nearly every room we have, depending on your requirements.

A city like no other

York is a city that feels like a town, with a compact city centre. You'll get to know your way around and feel like a local quickly. The history and architecture of the city highlights the stories of thousands of years of inhabitants. Catch up with friends over a pint in a pub built in the 17th century, or wander down cobbled streets in the footsteps of Romans. You can explore museums full of history and art, then spend the rest of your day shopping in the chains you know and love.

Learn about life in York from locals hanging out in the shadow of the ruin abbey in the Museum Gardens, or take a picnic to Clifton Ings or Millennium Bridge to enjoy some of our beautiful green spaces. Cycle past a scale model of the Solar System spread along the route of an old railway line, or grab dinner from a street food vendor in a redeveloped shipping container, beneath a canopy of fairy lights.

York's ever-changing landscape of culture, cuisine and community is the perfect place to call home.
