The support is impeccable, but I usually get harassed by pigeons, and they ate my sandwich last Thursday. Please invest in anti-pigeon technology, please!

The campus has a lovely and homey feel; it isn't too big to get lost in, and all the staff are amazing! The facilities and library are well kept up with the addition the student ambassadors have put into the university.

Bishop Grosseteste University is a small uni with a genuinely lovely campus — proper green spaces, red brick buildings, very peaceful. It’s compact, which is great when you’re tired and don’t want to power-walk across town for a 9am. The library is well organised with designated spaces for different courses, which actually makes revision less chaotic. Student support is properly embedded into uni life — tutors are approachable and you don’t feel like just a number. The SU team is honestly one of the strongest parts of the university; they’re visible, supportive and clearly care. On the downside, some of the technology feels a bit outdated. Nothing disastrous, just slightly slow or clunky at times. Also, because it’s a smaller university, there aren’t loads of societies. That said, the ones that do exist are student-led and well supported by the SU, so they’re still worth joining. Overall: beautiful campus, strong sense of community, supportive environment. A few tech frustrations and fewer societies than big unis — but if you value smaller classes and feeling known, it’s a solid choice.

The staff are always so friendly and really keen to help. The support we receive seems to be to a much higher standard than other universities. The most inconvenient aspect of it would probably be how it is not located in the city centre however it is only a short bus ride away and can be walked

The lecturers I have I cannot fault! The English and Education studies departments are wonderful. However, being a commuter and a 3rd year student, I don’t feel a part of the community. I feel that commuters are not as supported as we could be by the university as we are not always kept in the loop. Since the name change it has felt very hollow. I’m not sure how the places to eat on campus are expected to stay where they are considering the prices of food and drinks! Should be more budget friendly - in year 1 it used to be full most lunchtimes, now it’s extremely quiet when I have been in (even at peak times). Thankfully there is a volunteer based event in the chaplaincy every Wednesday where staff and students can get something to eat and a warm drink. What is now called ‘The Hub’ (learning development centre) used to be situated in the centre of campus, everyone knew where it was and despite being a small team, the space was utilised, now they are in one area of the cornerstone building and it is open plan - not ideal if your not a confident learner. As a group of people, this university is extraordinary for knowing who you are and what you need - I feel some of the business decisions have dimmed a lot of the sparkle this place has had in previously years.

Lincoln Bishop University is very small, which may not be ideal for some people, but I prefer things quaint, so this was the perfect place. My lecturers have been available for support almost 24/7 (they aren't required to be, they just go above and beyond for their students!). The library is small, like the university, but it has endless online access to academic resources and (a literal) 24/7 computer suite for any late night/early morning studies. Campus staff have been so helpful during my time here, even in trivial matters like tracking down a lost water bottle for me (something you probably won't find at bigger universities!). My Theology course has had an endless supply of module topics, deepening my academic understanding - even for things I had studied previously. My lectures have been so crucial for my understanding, able (and willing) to explain and re-explain if any student isn't quite grasping the subject (very useful in our philosophy module!). Assignments (graded) are very balanced, majority are written essays, but some are multi-media (e.g. presentation on chosen subject coupled with an essay evaluation on your presentation). I admit that I struggled with this concept at first because I prefer writing assignments and couldn't see the value in being graded on a PowerPoint; however , with aspirations to be a lecturer myself one day, being given the opportunity to make palatable, valuable presentations has given me a head start to teaching others. Another early assignment we were given was to produce a research project proposal, which enabled us to understand what was expected from us in our dissertation proposals (as well as going forward into higher degrees). The campus has a designated learning facility for anyone who is struggling with their assignments, or perhaps feels embarrassed to talk to their lecturers directly - I went here myself for advice about an assignment brief (I didn't want to ask my lecturer because then they would've known that I left it until the last minute!). The campus is also very open about mental health and has pages around campus and on the university website titled "wellbeing", which includes helpful guides on how to manage specific feelings and even breathing exercises. They also have a "student in crisis" page with information and contacts to crisis lines, as well as 24/7 on-site crisis staff. I am a student with access needs, and all staff have been incredibly helpful and understanding about that as well as checking in with me about if/how my condition has changed. My time at Lincoln Bishop has been exceptional overall and I cannot recommend it enough. Lincoln is a historically rich, beautiful city and Lincoln Bishop University is equally such.

The best aspect of my experience at Lincoln Bishop University has been the supportive and close-knit environment. Because it’s a smaller university, I’ve felt that lecturers are approachable and genuinely invested in my progress, which has made a big difference to my confidence and academic development. The campus has a friendly atmosphere, and studying in Lincoln is enjoyable as it’s a safe and welcoming city. One area for improvement would be expanding opportunities for networking and external experiences, as being in a smaller city can sometimes feel a bit limited compared to larger universities.

The worse aspects is to do with the cost. The food and drinks on campus are so expensive, for example a meal deal is between £6-7 so most of us go to co op to get a meal deal for £4 which is usually better quality. As well as this, this uni pushes supporting mental well being but the gym isn’t free for students when it used to be in previous years. It’s a lovely uni that does promote the student but in the same respect isn’t student friendly.

Lincoln Bishop may seem like a small university, but that’s what makes it such a great place to study. The sense of community here is really strong. And the support received from both lecturers and student services is great.

LBU is an incredibly inviting and supportive place to study. Its small size, relative to other universities, results in a very personal experience when it comes to tutelage and support. The academic and pastoral staff have time for the students and you feel like a valued member of the community. That being said, the faculty is often disorganised and inefficient. Personal issues can be solved easily, administrative issues on the other hand are often a pain to work out. The library is also under-developed, this likely comes with the territory of being a small university. Often times the library will have everything you need, but when you find a gap in the collection, it is usually a glaring omission.

Living here has honestly made my uni experience so much better. The location is perfect — it’s so close to campus, which makes everything easier and less stressful day to day. The accommodation itself feels safe, calm, and comfortable, and I genuinely enjoy living here. I have ADHD, and having a space where I feel settled, happy, and supported has made a big difference to my wellbeing and my ability to focus on my studies. It feels like more than just accommodation — it feels like a home, and that’s something I really appreciate. Honestly, I don’t think it needs improving. My experience here has been genuinely positive in every way, and I wouldn’t change anything — it already feels like the perfect place to live and study.

The Uni is equipped with the best resources for studying, both in person and online, the facilities are top class and the staff are super supportive in both the academic side as well as the students welfare. Always happy to help and do so with a smile. The Uni doesn't feel too busy either, which makes it super enjoyable on campus, with ample open spaces for study and small classes per course which give you that one to one tuition approach. At LBU you aren't just another number, but known by your personality and name which gives it a lovely touch.
