There are those moments when one falls in love : at first sight. York as a city, and St John as a campus was to me just that : love at first sight. I came to York on Sunday - and no sooner I got out the station what I was greeted with was a gust of cold win, and a breathtaking city. I love history, and knowing that York had a history stretching as far back as the Romans made it very appealing, and seeing the city dotted with alleys that seem to come straight off a Harry Potter movie !
The campus with its iconic building stood out - and somehow was able to blend the heritage of an old city with the minimalistic post modernism without jarring the eyes. LOVED the aesthetics of the entire campus, and reveled inside the bunker type interiors ! It certainly was not everyone's cup of tea : but for me personally, it was thrilling, and very very appealing...
I told my wife that I had a wide grin on my face throughout my stay - which would certainly have looked comical to the passing on looker : but it was impossible to hide my joy !!!
