How to get here

Alcuin College is at the northern edge of campus. When you arrive, take Alcuin Way for our main reception or Siward's Way for our temporary reception, depending on which student residence block you have been allocated to. 

Arriving by car

If you will be living in Blocks K, L, M, N, P or Q 

Turn off University Road at the Siward's Way roundabout and go up Siward's Way. Over the brow of the hill you will find the Campus North car park. Register your arrival and collect your room keys from the temporary reception in the Hull York Medical School foyer.

If you arrive outside these hours you will need to register your arrival and collect your keys from the College main reception, but you should still park in Campus North car park as it will be nearer for you to unload.

If you will be living in Blocks E, F, G, H or J 

Turn off University Road at the Innovation Way roundabout and drive towards the Science Park. Take the first left turn onto Alcuin Way, and follow this road around until you see the signs for our reception. There are parking spaces nearby.

Arriving by train

If you are arriving by train, the Students' Union arranges buses to bring you to campus on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October, and there will be people at the station to help guide you to the buses. You will be sent information about this in your arrivals pack.

The alternative ways of getting to campus from the railway station are by taxi or bus.

By taxi

Ask the taxi driver for Alcuin College at the University.  There is a taxi rank immediately outside the main entrance to the station.  The driver will take you to the College reception at D Block, the cost will be approximately £5, all taxis you get into at the station are run by Station Taxis and all are metered.

By bus

A cheaper way to get to campus is to catch the number 4 bus which stops immediately outside the railway station.

When you come out of the station you will be on the correct side of the road for the bus to the University and it will arrive from your right and depart to your left as you face the road. Ask for a ticket to the University (current cost is under £2).

Stay on the bus until Heslington Hall, which is where the bus terminates, and then walk back to the roundabout and turn left up Innovation Way. Then turn right onto Alcuin Way on your left and then walk up Alcuin Way to the College. This total distance is only a few hundred metres.
