The facilities are always kept to the highest standard. The teaching is mostly inspiring and helps you to feel acknowledged in your work, pushing you on in where your strengths are.

It is well blended between theory and practise. I find that I am allowed to push myself and have strong guidance surrounding me to do so.

Everything worked okay and there was always hands on maintenance. The rooms are small but that is symptomatic of student halls.

Could do better, but I do like Lancaster

This is only because the are doing up the library at the minute and it restricts access to parts of it, which is very annoying. There are some good study areas, but they can get really full and lack adequate plug sockets. One in particular lacks plug sockets and gets extremely cold.

Lots of support for any struggling students, in an academic or personal sense, but in terms of the English department this is less so.

Never really experienced the benefits of the student union, although they do regularly come round campus and ask for input on how things can be improved.

City has everything you need, would benefit from a wider range of shops. Bus links to campus are very good and run frequently, just try and avoid getting direct buses at rush hours into Lancaster as it can be a nightmare.

I have not joined any clubs or societies but there is a wide range and I have heard nothing but praise for them.

The lectures can be interesting in English Literature, but the Creative Writing lectures are pointless. The department can be very unorganised at times, which is very annoying as a student. They also fail to tell you what they are looking for in essays, but the addition of a Royal Literary Fellow has helped.

Lots of careers talks, and part-time jobs available on and off campus.

Very good accommodation, especially on-suite, but it is shame the prices are high and continue to rise!
