The Holiday Season Is Upon Us

WITH THE WEATHER getting colder and festive decorations put up across York, the excitement for the holiday season is definitely growing.

Whichever holiday you celebrate, the festive season is a welcomed break from university for many students, however with the current cost of living crisis, many of us are more concerned about our festive finances than ever.

International students are unable to get home, students are having to stay up in York to work to afford rent for the next academic term and gift-giving is even more anxiety-inducing than usual.

Despite the cost of living crisis, the holiday season is usually a time for family and friends, so Vision hopes that this winter break is as amazing, and as cost-free, as possible.
