Accommodation

Living on Campus

Living in residence, you will develop lasting friendships and will have a variety of social and educational activities at your doorstep. Make the most of your York experience. Live on campus, get involved and become part of the vibrant and engaged community. Residence is more than just a place to live.

Late Applicants: York cannot guarantee you a space in residence and you could be placed on a waiting list. Space will be offered as it becomes available throughout the summer, and priority will be given to first year students who live farthest away.

Living in one of York nine undergraduate residences - seven on the Keele campus and two at Glendon - means you're at the heart of the York community.
