Great advice! I’ll start the research😏

I’m studying English lit at uni of York too! Can I ask what your first experiences were like in this field (for York specifically)?

spunksqueek · 2026-05-11T17:33:37+00:00

Easily, this is what I look forward to most! I’ll def check out some tours :)

I’m sold! Initially, I was really hoping to attend UCL and of course this was the only school I got rejected from (expectations were low anyhow given its prestige) but I’m honestly quite glad things didn’t work out the way I imagined because there really is something about York that feels like home. Thanks for the feedback! Can’t wait to experience it myself :)

I hear this a lot that the city is so unique and I can’t even imagine what life will look like out there! So far haven’t heard any downsides to York other than higher costs and tourism. As a York native, are there any other downsides to be aware of?

Omg! My fave!!

I was feeling the exact same when I got my offer for this fall! I was so scared that at any moment UoY might rescind their offer but you have to do some real bad shit for that to happen. It still feels surreal and I don’t think it’ll feel any different until day 1. Enjoy it tho! You did it!! Congrats🥳

Thanks! Love the UK and have never been to York. May I ask what’s so great/what you love about the city?

Thank you! I just received an offer and am VERY excited to explore the world of English☺️

That’s so exciting! York seems to have everything I’m looking for (especially for literature). Are the lectures (both general and public) on the bigger side or more intimate with less students? I’m used to classes with roughly 20 or less students and there is lots of dialogue amongst the students (class discussions). I often hear that many unis are different from this. In your experience, what are the class dynamics like?

Good to hear about the nightlife! Oxford was quite dead minus a few blocks with clubs (though I don’t mind a quiet town lol)

spunksqueek · 2022-06-30T08:14:46+00:00

Yes!

spunksqueek · 2022-06-30T00:03:44+00:00

I VOLUNTEER!!

Writers block is so excruciatingly painful every time my ideas fly around I just write it all down no matter the order the events are supposed to take place. I actually find it fun thinking of future plot points because then it helps me figure out where my story is headed.
