I had some problems at the start of the year with accommodation, I wasn't exactly sure where I was going to be staying, but the as soon as I mentioned it to the student services they sorted it out instantly. The student services could be improved, they should have sorted it out as soon as I'd applied for my accommodation, but once I bugged them they instantly solved it. I don't understand why people complain about them so much, they handle thousands of students and rarely slip up. If you have a problem, don't be afraid to visit them.

It's great! I love the city and the fact that everyone here loves it as well! Everybody I know has settled in perfectly and the community has the feeling of one big happy family! The lectures are fantastic and are not only very well done, they are also fun and I find that I look forward to going to them! Another thing is the location of the uni in relation to everything around, the city centre is only a short walk from both the uni and the accomodation in which i stay.

Lincoln is great if it's where you want to be. The courses and lecturers are great, they are always there if you need any help or assistance of any kind. Also the accommodation, for me, is one of the best parts of this uni, every thing is close by to the student housing, there are clubs and pubs and the uni which are all just a stones throw from the student flats.

It is in a nice location. Everything is very close by and there are so many good facilities as well. The uni itself is fantastic and the tutors and lecturers are second to none. Also, my favourite part, is the nightlife. Lincoln has such a diverse variety of night life and city entertainment and that is why i love this uni

It feels like living inside a little world of our own! Everything from night clubs, to pubs, to restaurants and the university and my friends flats is really close by and easy to get to. There is always a good support system in place if you ever need help and it is a nice friendly and welcoming environment

My favourite thing about uni is how easy it is to have fun! The city life and the night life around here is unbelievable! But uni is about working hard as well as partying hard and I feel that Lincoln helps you find the perfect balance between the two. I also love the facilities that the uni has to offer, and the opportunities that come with them.

Its a good modern looking, university. I especially like the lecturers and tutors who are not only excellent at doing what they do but also brilliant at going above and beyond the call of duty. If there's every anything that you need help with, the tutors are always there to help. Also the relationships that I have created here, I feel will carry on for the rest of my life. I do however feel that it is almost impossible to find a job around here which is very frustrating as a student.

There are a lot of aspects to the uni that I love, some more so than others, but none more than the students and the tutors and the relationships between them. I feel not only safe but also confident about my course and my new life here at uni. Another thing that I like a lot is the relaxing way that the course is conducted, it is not too fast paced however it is not too layed back.

When I first arrived I was originally apprehensive towards the concept of leaving home, however after only a few days, I had already settled in and had realised that Lincoln is simply a fantastic place to live. Another thing that I love about uni is how much support there is for my course and for the students, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The tutors are really welcoming at the start of the course, and explain aspects quite well. There's parts throughout art which need improving, the first term seemed to drag as there wasn't much work to be given or received, as we focused on doing one 2 hour workshop a week. I would have preferred the course pick up faster than it did, as I already knew how to do the majority of the workshops we were inducted into, and so I felt a bit in limbo as if there were no point to the start of the course. But it's picked up now we're in January and I'm beginning to feel more challenged and ready to do work.

Illustration society is great because you don't have to be on the Illustration course to be a part of it, and there isn't necessarily a work load, more a part of the hobby.

Everyone's really friendly, both at the University and throughout Lincoln, there's nothing to be afraid of if you come here - expect maybe the swans. The course is really great fun, there's loads of different avenues you can take with the skills we're taught, and though there isn't much time with the tutors, you get time with the other students on your course who give ideas and support as much as they make you laugh.

The university encourages the students to interact and the Engine Shed is one of the biggest places to hold events throughout Lincoln and puts on amazing events with special guests. Freshers was absolutely insane and couldn't be repeated but we try every time we go out to top it. And long distance relationships do work!!

I've given the student union, job prospects and eye candy a low rating because none of them apply to me, so they might be good but I don't know. I'm involved with a few society's and can recommend you join as many as you like. They're a great way to meet new people who are similar to you. I joined the Sci-fi society and though some of it's a bit "out there" for me, they're really nice people with a lot of things to say about what they enjoy. As far as I know the societies are good value for money so there's no excuse not to get involved. It also gives you reasons to get away from Flatmates and have some other friends.

There isn't much to complain about with Lincoln, all the areas you;d expect to be good are good and the ones you'd expect to be bad are not-that-bad. The night life in Lincoln is surprising - for such a small city there's tonnes of places to go to, and if you go on the right night are absolutely buzzing. Some people say Lincoln's a quiet town with not much going on, but so long as you look in the right places there's always something to see or do, and of course places to shop and look around in

My course is brilliant, the lecturers are really inspiring and the people on the course are my sort of people. There's a lot of hard work involved, but I enjoy the subject so find every bit helps me with my work. The facilities and equipment offered to us are modern and perfect for our needs. I've spoken with some second and third years and that helped me to decide where I was going to go after University. If any improvements could be made it would be the resources in the library for Conservation, I sometimes find it difficult to find books on areas I need.

I'm really enjoying my course even though the work load is overwhelming sometimes. Illustration gets so much work, it's roughly two briefs a week which you have to stay on top of or you get really far behind and it's hard to catch up. Make sure you fulfill the brief completely or do a little extra to make sure you don't feel bad when you hand your work in or that it isn't up to scratch. Avoid Danesgate, even though you may want a really cheap accommodation, it falls apart. Make sure you go for quality over price. But where ever you go it'll be close to town, so don't worry about closeness to the uni

I live nearby but I still live in student halls and I love being able to go and and forth as much as I like. Just because everyone says you should apply to somewhere really far away to get independence doesn't mean it's true, I look after myself at Uni but I get to see my family and my dogs whenever I like. Most people are really kind but you get that one person every now and again that isn't. It's pretty much like any other city but a lot more compact. The university is nice, they welcomed you on the first day and everyone's really friendly, I think the only thing that could really be improved are the teaching hours because we hardly ever see our tutors. And in the first term we didn't get much work but hopefully it'll pick up now

We had some problems with our tutors recently, if you don't like some tutors or can't work with them, the best thing to do is to tell the head of your level. They might move you to work with another tutor or give your work to someone else to be marked. If you have a problem with the marking you have to tell someone who can do something about it rather than just complain to your friends. If the grades are important to you, you have to know they're 100% right. Make sure you use as much of the facilities as possible, this'll broaden your horizons in art and give you a wide variety of skills

I did a photography workshop a few weeks ago, and the equipment surprised me, it's a good quality though not necessarily the most up to date stuff you can get. Once yo're shown how to use the equipment, they pretty much just let you use it whenever, so there's no excuse to not do extra work. We don't have that many lectures but the ones we usually do have are quite interesting. We have art history on Thursdays and our tutor for that gives you lots of artists to look up and review, you should keep an extra sketchbook just full of art history - the tutors like to see you're doing your own research.
