Despite the current pandemic changing the way I planned my first year to be I feel like I’ve still managed to settle in well. The colleges have organised an abundance of online socials which have been fun. The support from the staff has been great as well. I’m looking forward to the rules easing and campus starting to become more lively again.

The facilities on campus are easily accessible and can provide you with everything you could possibly need. From a range of outdoor seating areas, shops and space in the library. Everything is within a quick walk especially made easier if you live in the halls on campus. The facilities are always cleaned and regularly monitored.

Support at the university has been great. Queries and emails are answered as quickly as possible and there is always someone who can help with your problem. As a student who struggled to fit in and has mental health problems I’ve had great access to the transitions team and the counselling team. All of these support groups have had a great influence on my experience so far and have allowed myself to feel comfortable as I settle into uni life.

My course and the academic support provided has been to a high standard this year. The lectures are interesting and easy to follow and the lecturers are kind and always willing to help if needed. The feedback on assignments has been great. The course is always asking for improvements and any criticisms made are swiftly applied.

An abundance of emails containing information about job opportunities and internships are sent regularly. The lecturers are also really helpful in providing information about life after uni, all you have to do is send them an email and they respond quickly.

There is not as much nightlife as I am used to back home and Lancaster itself is quite small. However the university and campus are great. There is a great sense of community and support. I really enjoy being here

There’s good course and contact hours. The subjects we cover are interesting and the employability program gives a great outlook for future career prospects Some of the lecturers/professors could be more helpful

Very expensive however rooms are nice and a good size. The flat itself is secure and maintenance crews are helpful
