No images? Click here The University of York is one of only a handful of universities with a college system. A college is a community within the wider university community. It is a place to socialise, learn new skills, explore your interests and access support and guidance. There are ten colleges across campus, each with their own distinct history and character. They all provide the same services and opportunities, and have a dedicated team of staff and student volunteers who are here for you throughout your time at York. Colleges are more than just a place to live. They provide you with opportunities to meet new friends, try something new and encourage you to get involved. Whether it’s attending an event, joining a college sports team, volunteering or
joining the student committee - there’s something for everyone, whether you live on or off campus.Your membership doesn’t end when you graduate either, you are a member for life! Which college is the best? The one you're in! YUSU and GSAColleges work closely with YUSU (University of York Students' Union) and GSA (Graduate Student's Association) throughout the year to ensure that all our students feel represented, supported, valued and have fun.
