Lawrence St.

Your student accommodation is a 15-minute walk from The Shambles, the city’s oldest and most famous street, which is lined with shops and cafés. As you walk, admire the view of spectacular York Minster Cathedral, or pay to take a tour of the crypt and see the Historic Collections and incredible artefacts. Afterwards, treat yourself to an indulgent afternoon tea at Betty’s Café Tea Room, before learning about the city’s horrible history at York Dungeon. After dark, eat Arab-Spanish tapas at El Piano, then watch a film at City Screen Picturehouse, or sip drinks at The Drawing Board.

You’ll find it easy to get to just about anywhere in York when you’re based at Vita Student. Walk to University of York in 20 minutes, or go by bus in 10 minutes. If you’re studying at York St John University, you can walk to class in nine minutes. Bike hire is available and, when you want to travel further afield, York Station is a 20-minute bus ride away.

Despite your great location, you might find that you’re happy to spend much of your free time at home at Vita Student. All studio rooms have their own self-contained kitchen and private bathroom, so you won’t have to share your space. Save time before class by picking up the free ‘Grab and Go’ breakfast on your way out, or start your day with a workout in the onsite gym.

When you get back home, use your key fob to gain entry to the building, then head up to your room, which will always look its best thanks to the monthly cleaning service. Connect to the Wi-Fi and make a start on your college work, or switch on the SMART TV and catch up on your favourite shows.

Catch up with your friends in the Hub, where you can enjoy all kinds of residents’ events from fashion shows to parties, gaming nights and international evenings.

When you’d rather stay in, crawl into your comfy bed and get an early night. You’ll sleep easy, thanks to all-inclusive bills and 24-hour security.
