The University has a collegiate system in which most staff and all students are members of colleges. All first year undergraduates and all overseas students are guaranteed accommodation in one of the eight colleges or in University residences within walking distance of the colleges. Most departments are located in specific colleges.
The main campus at Heslington is a 200-acre landscaped park, well known for its lake and wildfowl. Here the colleges and academic buildings are on a level site within walking distance of each other. Proximity to the historic city of York makes the University a popular choice and provides a pleasant working and residential environment.
