Open Days in York
There's plenty of information available on Higher Education (HE) in York for you to read up on. However, these are other people's views and so it's important you visit any institutions you are considering studying at, to make your own mind up about a place.
Institutions understand that this is important and hold formal open days where potential students and their families can tour the campus, meet current students and quiz staff. You will also be able to get a feel for the local area.
