University of York Colleges As Outfits


David Kato




Not much is known about this elusive college, newly born in 2022. Best guess, as a graduate of these hallowed halls, is sweats and a jumper, as inhabitants slink off to play pool in the modern hubs of David Kato. 24/7, any day of the month, you will find people hanging out on the sofas until 4am. PJs and Ugg’s worn out and about any time of the day are basically a uniform here.


 

Anne Lister 




Anne Lister doesn’t have much of a stereotype – people here can be caught in an outfit ranging from extravagant to kitted out in sports gear day to day. This college is a pick and mix, close to Law department for those students who spend every day there, or a short walk from West Campus for basically everything else. I’m going to say they’re the groups of runners that sprint up the pathway from East Campus to West at 7A.M..


 

Goodricke 
















Does this college even exist? No one really knows who goes here or has actually met anyone who has. Priced fairly, this college is in between pretty much everything. People here must be pretty quiet, or just embrace the chill vibes. I’m imagining tie dye tops and pyjama bottoms as they slink in between buildings to get to Nisa before the meal deals run out.


 

Langwith













Langwith is the party base for Heslington East sports boys. Catch someone wearing anything other than Heslington East Rugby merch, then they don’t belong here. Whether they’re pi**ing into kettles at 3am or getting up at 6am for training, these people live, sleep and die in their sports kit. 


 

Alcuin 



Known as the academic college, this is where you can find most Medical or Chemistry students. Close to the library for a late-night burnout. These people can be found slumped over energy drinks and Deliveroo food in whatever they can get their hands on – maybe even their scrubs.


 

Constantine 




The supposed posh girl college of the University of York. The stereotype mostly wins out with everyone you meet here, and you can bet they have a Stanley to their name. I mean damn, even a cup is a part of their identity, real materialist queens and kings. If they haven’t driven their Fiat 500 up to university kitted in Pilates leggings and Ralph Lauren, I’ll be very surprised.


 

Derwent 















The party never stops in Derwent. Pres or Afters, you’ll find most people still wearing their going out top and nice jeans everywhere and anywhere. Watch the floor for broken glass from a Fresher who couldn’t handle their drink. 


 

James 















James is the sportiest college on campus, rivalling even Langwith. These guys are ride or die gym life, and can be found running track, doing push-ups or messing around with Freshers throughout the year. Gymshark is a uniform around these parts.


 

Halifax




The college that is basically a hike from everywhere. If you’re on East Campus, it’ll take you forever to get here. If you’re on West Campus, it’ll still be a trek. Put on your long walk outfit, Halifax! It doesn’t matter what you wear here, you’ll still get blisters.


 

Vanbrugh



Take your pick from sports, music, academics and party animals. This one is such a mix of stereotypes there’s no one outfit that’ll serve its purpose. Everyone here tends to be arts and humanities students, but they’ll blend in everywhere.


 

Wentworth  - Graduates 














The college for grad students. This could range from someone who dresses like a Gen Z, to someone who looks like your old maths teacher. They rarely emerge from their studying hibernation, but you’re pretty much guaranteed to spot a Wentworth grad student from their

Jesus sandals.
