University of York – Halifax College york

Nice and calm college. Heslington West. Use the UB1 bus if you don't want to walk much.

Nice accommodation. Green neighbourhood

Nice halls, pretty far out from the campus however so it's quite a long walk for anything accessable.

I feel like Halifax gets abitta stick as one of the *poorer* colleges. While my friends do laugh at me when I tell them I’m in a place called Halifax College (c’mon guys the name really doesn’t help) I don’t think it’s half as bad as people say. Sure it’s a ten min walk from any department, sure JJ’s might not be that great, and yes the Nisa is kinda expensive; but the accommodation is nice and I enjoy abit of exercise walking to my lectures in the morning. The staff on desk at reception are also brilliant, never had a single rude member of staff in fact quite the opposite! It’s also quite nice and quiet unless you live next to the zip-line, which attracts drunken students like moths to a flame at 2am. Really enjoying it so far but I wish we had a pub or something nearer than D-bar that students could go to (and not JJ’s) but hey you can’t have it all. P.S - Aldi is a 20min walk if you don’t wanna go to the pricey Nisa. Bus stop into town is also only a 10min walk (get the 66 or 66a depending, and use the first bus app to get ten tickets for £10 making each trip only cost £1!).

So many insects and spiders，too far away from the bus stop，inconvenient

Boring
