The course really frustrates me, I did a Foundation Year before coming to Lincoln SOMETHING YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO. Basically everything you do at Foundation you do on your first year of the course so it's a massive waste of time. The city is beautiful though, it's very safe and everything's really close together so if you just need to go to the other side of town it's only about 30 minutes away. I hate my accommodation, it's expensive and you don't get your moneys worth from it - I'm in Brayford Quays. Definitely stay away from there. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LOOK ROUND YOUR ACCOMMODATION BEFORE YOU CHOOSE IT
I started on the Animation course, but found it wasn't for me - it didn't have the freedom I wanted - so I swapped my course to Fine Art. I assumed this would be quite easy but it took a few weeks longer than I'd expected, and I wasn't properly put on the register until after Christmas. I think it was the administration that was the problem, but the tutors were welcoming and I was inducted into the workshops quite quickly so I didn't miss anything important.
It's quite a new university. Some of the courses are not yet properly established. Lectures are nice. However, the university doesn't have a good reputation for bullying and is no 4 in the country. I've seen my favorite lecturers being humiliated in front of the students and then he go off sick long term.Do you really want to be taught by people like that?
I love the course but for art courses, the schedule seems to change last minute quite often
Lincoln is a city where you can feel safe and welcome. The students are friendly and the courses are fulfilling, and the proximity of everything you'll need is really great. And it's always sunny on Sundays
It's been the best 2 and a half years of my life so far! I've met some amazing friends here and i've loved the course! You don't have to get any transport, you can wakl everywhere. It's a lovely and histonical city.
Lincoln is a great student city, theres so much to do. Tip one: If you looking for a job at uni make sure you look within the first week.
Really good - great for media, good equipment facillities, good sized city, perfect location.Top so university getting better every year, definitely take it into consideration and have a look around even if you're not thinking about Lincoln.You'll be amazed!
Learn to cook and learn to stop worrying, this will make first year much easier.
I've definitley enjoyed my time of Lincolm - so much so i've decided to stay for another year! The course has been good and tho the majority of tho lecturers have been great, the university has just hired even more staff so it'll be even better. Tip for Freshors = Bring cake when you mmove in, flatmates will love you.
Be confident when meeting new people af everyone wants to make a good impression so they will be friendly back.
I'm really enjoying my my university experience particnorly. The independece involved with it. To any pokenhal students soming to the uni my advice is to throw yourself into all opportunities and make the most of your time here.
To join all clubs and soacities and not hold back. Use the start of uni to be reinvent yoursey and try new things. I have tried as much as possible and gained everything i need and more!


Courts is where most of the students in Lincoln live and though some people complain about some bits the majority of it's quite nice. There are tonnes of people living there, so if you meet anyone also from Courts you both get excited and are like courtsss..Don't be put off by the weird bathrooms you get used to them quickly. The floor has the plug in it, and there's no shower base it's pretty much like being in a wet room or the changing rooms at a swimming pool. But it's really close to uni and there are so many people you can talk to there I'd recommend it to most people.
