  Alcuin College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alcuin College is a college of the University of York.
Alcuin has recently undergone a phase of new construction, amid controversy (K and L blocks were not complete by the time students were due to move in, leaving many to live in the nearby National Science Learning Centre accommodation blocks, which lacked many facilites - particularly kitchens).
Alcuin is generally considered to be the "posh" part of the university, rivalled perhaps by James College, which lacks many facilities considered essential to university life (mainly, a bar).

 University of York in general - Review - Third amongst equals...
The new colleges look closer to hotels than to prisons, the sports centre is state of the art, and, as I write this, the big Physics & Electronics Department is undergoing a huge renovation to transform it into a "modern" building.
James and Alcuin are the newest colleges, and from a buildings point of view are therefore the envy of the other older colleges, such as Goodricke and Derwent.
As I have already mentioned, the colleges vary in both age and style significantly across campus, and with a flat "University Rate" for all students it was understandable that those who were allocated to one of the 'poorer' colleges should feel hard done by.
