THE University of York has been named as the third healthiest university in the country - ahead those in Cambridge, Oxford and St Andrew’s.
The university’s yoga, meditation and mindfulness workshops are among healthy lifestyle facilities praised in a survey by student accommodation search engine MyStudentHalls. Only Nottingham and Edinburgh Universities score higher than York.
In its citation, the organisation says: “With student culture ever-changing, York is also aware of the pressures involved for students.
“Regardless of your chosen lifestyle at university, York’s supportive atmosphere will allow you to live healthier every day.”
The other universities in the survey’s top 10 are Glasgow, Bristol, Cambridge, Newcastle, Exeter, St Andrews and Imperial College, London.
