English in York
The boys are back in town!
We're always very happy to see our former students. In this last week or two we have been inundated with visitors!
From universities in Wales, we have welcomed Saleh, Abdulaziz and Abdullah. From Birmingham University we have had a visit from Mahmoud, and from Huddersfield University, Fahad, Mohammed, Ali, Faisal and Abdulaziz.
Former students now studying at York St John and York University - Habib, Abdulmohsen, Ali, Omar and Abdullah - are such regular visitors to English in York that we wonder if these gentlemen are on 'automatic pilot'!
It's very satisfying to hear of the ongoing success of our students - and to know that they still remember us fondly.
To any former students who are reading this: You are still part of the EiY family. Come and see us, and tell us how you are getting on!
