STYCs (Second and Third Year Contacts) help welcome new undergraduate students during Welcome Week at the University of York.
Can current first years apply?
Of course! Any enrolled student who will be in York in September is welcome to sign up.
Can I STYC with my friends?
Yes! We try to keep friends together. There is a section on the application form that asks for the names of anyone you would like to paired with.
If you want to work in the same block as a larger group of people, we can also try to accomodate this.
Of course, it's also a great chance to meet new friends!
What can I get out of it?
STYCs volunteer their time to welcome students to the University. It's a great opportunity to:
- Meet new people and make new friends
- Shape students' first experiences at University
- Make a tangible difference to your College community
- Lend a hand at College events and try new things
STYCs also get discounted entry to College Freshers' Club nights, and the chance to be invited to our STYC thank you party celebration.
Will I have to go clubbing?
There is no pressure to go clubbing, and Freshers week will include plenty of daytime and non-drinking events.
However STYCs and Head STYCs will have the opportunity to buy a discounted nightclub event ticket.
