I chose the University of York because of the lovely city centre, the wonderful campus with plenty of facilities, and of course because of the university’s reputation for excellent teaching. Since coming here, I have also enjoyed the vibrant student life with a diverse range of sports and societies, as well as interesting talks, debates and events throughout the year. Being a part of this inspiring and stimulating environment has been one of the best parts about life at university.Malthe, BA Philosophy (Denmark)
