A group of York students has won the opportunity to have their very own I-phone application developed after winning The App Challenge final, held at the Ron Cooke Hub on Wednesday, January 18.
YUSU Welfare officer Bob Hughes has warned students to be vigilant after a student loans phishing scam has been revealed.
Her Majesty the Queen will be visiting York on Maundy Thursday, 5th April, as part of the 800th anniversary of York’s Charter for the traditional “Royal Maundy” ceremony.
A flood caused by a heating system “failure” forced the university IT services to shut down many essential systems on Sunday night, causing problems for many students on the eve of their exams and assignment due-dates.
Following talks between YUSU and First some weeks ago, the bus company have agreed on lower prices for a trial period.
Students showed their annoyance with the increased price on many occasions during the Spring Term.
A petition with over 1,000 signatures was presented to FTR at the Week 8 UGM and many joined Facebook groups advocating bus boycotts.
The route has been reduced by 80p to discover if such a move will encourage more students to use the service.
Those who know about the trial have been enthusiastic: "Although it's less than a pound reduction I think it's definitely a step in the right direction!"
Sam Bayley, YUSU Societies and Communications Officer, has encouraged students to "show First that this price reduction is important to students. Vote with your feet and let First know that students here mean business!"
A step in the right direction, but unfortunately of no help to those of us who live past the train station. A single for me will still be £2.50 and a return £3.50. At least the weather is improving for walking...
Did anyone else get told the 2£ return thing wasn't happening?? I had to pay the usual 2.90£
Or maybe my conductor person just didn't understand English?
it didnt happen. 2.90 as usual.
