York - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?
My only and biggest concern about York is racial. If you live within the protected world of the University, where people have travelled around and are used to see/apreciate other cultures you will have a good time at York. If not, you will find it difficult to find friends and will need to get used to the occassional racist remark. However, as plenty of foreign/other British people are attracted by the University, you will be surrounded with other expats that you could befriend, sadly, they will end up as tired as you of feeling unwelcomed and are likely to leave within a few months or years. - May 2006
