York is a city where academic focus meets historic calm. It attracts students who want strong teaching, beautiful surroundings and a university experience that feels both ambitious and grounded. When you choose your York student accommodation at Study Inn, you place yourself within easy reach of two well-respected institutions.

  • University of York
    The University of York is widely recognised for its research strength and forward-thinking teaching. Its campus blends open green spaces with modern academic buildings, creating an environment that feels focused yet relaxed. Students often describe it as a place where independent thinking is encouraged and ideas are given room to grow.
  • York St John University
    York St John University sits close to the historic city centre and is known for its supportive community feel. It has a strong reputation across creative subjects, education, health and the arts, attracting students who value both academic quality and personal support.

Whichever university you attend, Study Inn York keeps your daily routine simple. Commutes are straightforward, and home is never far away when you need to reset, refocus and recharge.

York offers a mix of national retailers and independent boutiques.

The historic city centre brings together well-known high street brands with independent stores that have been part of York’s fabric for years. Shambles Market is a local favourite, offering fresh produce, street food and artisan stalls that make everyday shopping feel more interesting.

Wander through the Shambles itself and you will find boutique gift shops, vintage treasures and small businesses that give York its distinctive charm. For bigger retail trips, Coppergate and the surrounding streets provide all the essentials: fashion, tech, homeware and study supplies.

Living in Study Inn’s luxury student accommodation in York means everything sits comfortably within reach. Quick errands stay quick, and weekend browsing becomes part of the experience of living in this uniquely historic city.

York’s nightlife combines historic pubs, modern cocktail bars and student-friendly venues.

Historic pubs sit alongside modern cocktail bars and relaxed student venues. You might find yourself starting the evening in a centuries-old pub with low beams and warm lighting, before heading to a buzzing bar where the music picks up and the atmosphere shifts.

For students, the city delivers regular club nights, themed events and social spaces that make meeting people feel natural rather than forced. The compact city centre means venues are close together, so nights out feel easy to navigate from Study Inn’s York student accommodation.

York’s food scene quietly impresses. It may be smaller than some major cities, but the quality and variety consistently surprise students who move here.

Independent cafés line the streets, perfect for slow brunches, coffee between lectures or informal catch-ups with friends. The city also offers a strong mix of global cuisines, from Italian comfort food and Asian street food to modern British dining and reliable student favourites.

Budget-friendly options sit comfortably alongside more premium restaurants, so whether you are grabbing something quick between seminars or celebrating the end of exams, there is always somewhere suitable nearby.

Living in your York student accommodation studio at Study Inn also means delivery options are plentiful when you would rather stay in and enjoy your space.

York makes it easy to step away from your desk and clear your head.

The city is famous for its riverside walks and historic streets that naturally slow your pace. A walk along the city walls offers sweeping views and a moment of perspective between busy study days. Rowntree Park provides green open space for fresh air, light exercise or simply sitting with friends when the weather allows.

Culture is never far away either. York Minster, local museums and independent galleries add depth to weekends, while boat trips along the River Ouse offer something a little different when you want a proper break from routine.

Life here finds a comfortable balance between productivity and pause, and Study Inn York sits right at the centre of that rhythm.

York’s events calendar brings the city to life throughout the year in a way that feels vibrant but never chaotic.

Seasonal markets draw visitors into the historic streets, while food festivals and cultural celebrations highlight the city’s creative side. The famous York Christmas Market transforms the centre into a festive destination, and student-focused events run regularly during term time to help new arrivals settle in quickly.

Throughout the year you will find outdoor screenings, heritage events, live performances and university-led activities that keep the social calendar moving.

Living at Study Inn York means you can step into the city’s energy whenever you choose — and step back into calm, premium surroundings whenever you need your space again.
