University so far has been incredible. Would recommend university, especially Lancaster, to anybody considering it. Can not fault my first year experience. You will make some of the best memories here, and the oportunities available to you can set you up for life after uni.

Sports Centre - very good. Library - open 24/h can not fault it. Accommodation - wide variety to suit all needs, very good. Great services on campus, including laundrette, university owned housing company etc. Overall, very pleased with university facilities

Yes there is a wide range of support available. Particular to my course, there are development programmes for maths, or writing and studying technique courses for scientific reports and essay writing. There is always help available, even if you are not sure where to go, you can always drop into the students union for advice or email college officers who are also there to guide you.

Students union is not as large as other universities and tend to have a smaller presence here. However, we do get regular emails and updates from the students union keeping us up to date on what is going on at uni which is very useful. Personally, I am probably not too involved directly with the students union because I participate in many extra curriculars, and with a high level of contact hours, there is just not enough time. I do hvae indirect involvement and tend to know a lot of what is going on as I know individuals who have ran, or are part of the SU.

Lancaster as a city is relatively small, however there is a real community feel here. There are generally many events on within the town centre, and I think that it really promotes a strong commmunity.

The clubs and societies offered are amazing. There is a wide variety on offer, as well as oportunities within the clubs to gain transferrable skills such as running for roles such as president, or treasurer of a society. They are a key part to university life and are where I have made some of my closest friends.

Most: The practical learning - can put the skills and knowledge that we are learning about in the lectures to actual work in the field. Least: End of module tests. Can have up to 6 in one week and results in not an accurate representation of scores. Would prefer either a greater percentage of coursework or greater percentage on exams rather than a progress test.

Uni has links with Target Connect; a career-based service which has a lot of information and courses asscoiated wiht developing transferrable skills, alongside promoting available jobs for a variety of different sectors, alongside placements and year in industry programmes . It is a very good and useful system to have.

Great halls. Any maintenace issues reported usually fixed the same day, if not within a couple of hours. Porters open 24/7 for emergencies which is extremely useful. Cleaning staff are amazing. All round good experience.

Great buses and campus, less good prices and pastoral care.

Lectures are way too short

Would love bigger cupboards in the townhouses
