The university is built around a lake, so the scenery is very pretty.
And there are lots of wild ducks (mandarin ducks mallards, mostly), geese and some other birds which I do not know the names of, and this is already nearing winter. One of the speakers during orientation joked that he's not too sure about York's ranking in the league table, but he is certain that we're top in ducks vs students ratio.
I was told that when spring and summer comes, there'll be lots more birds and we'll be able to see ducklings in tow too. Well, the downside of this is that we have lots of droppings on the pavement, and it is quite yucky as it is impossible to avoid stepping on them.
