The campus and university seems welcoming and supportive, there is lots of wellbeing support and great facilities such as the library and sports centre. There are many societies with lots of events. I do think that their should be more sober events for students who don’t like drinking and a little more options for academic support.
I love the community feel of the university. Everyone feels connected and it feels very safe. It could be improved with more accessible, working wifi
Supportive SU with lots of activities, but campus is constantly under construction somewhere
It is a good ranking university that provides a lot of opportunities and improves students’ network. However, campus accommodation is way below expectations. The location is a little too isolated from the city
Amazing facilities, all new on inside, far from centre of city, free bus travel
Student support is great. Campus is lovely but lots of the student places have left eg the college bars
There needs to be more places where students can sit and talk together rather than just the library

First gen student
It’s a really big campus with lots of open spaces to study and lots of places to grab a bite to eat, with a market that always has something going on it’s very lively
so many options for commuter students so we don’t feel left out on the uni experience
Some issues with accommodation like no heating for a while and rats outside but everything else is really good
Lancaster campus is such a lovely place as it has everything you need on campus. The only negative I would say is being a little bit out of town if you do need to go into town.
The facilities on campus are very very good. It's like a village outside the town centre of Lancaster as it has multiple shops, a Greggs, many cafes and even a pharmacy! All the educational facilities are excellent as well (e.g. the library and the science and technology equipment is very good). There are great opportunities to get involved in current research in the psychology employability programme. They also run the Lancaster Award which is great to get for employability. However, the cuts within each department are being felt among the students. I am on the JCR for my college and we are having very little opinion on how the money is being spent within our colleges and money is being wasted where it could have been saved by talking to students.
Campus within the university gives it a homey feel. Great teaching and great facilities. Lots of societies, easier to make friends and join different social groups especially when studying away from home. A lovely huge library that is very open and available 24hrs, so very useful anytime of the day. Great accommodation with 24hr porters who will come to help within 15minutes for any issues even at night! I’ve been here for 2 years and I honestly don’t know how it can improve. We even have an on campus GP and pharmacy, so no need to travel to town when ill, especially when living on campus which is so convenient. We have shops like co op and spar, so living is made easy.
Clean environment, but would benefit from more outdoor facilities for hangouts.
The course is great, and I love the city.
What has taken me aback are the huge quantoty of societies, the appearance of the university. It's so contemporary. The quality of education is high too. Everyone is ready to assist you with any issues!

campus is very homely and lots of events all the time, the JCRs put on lots of different events so there is always something to do
Lots of freedom in the course
It is 200 a week for a basic, small en-suite room with a single bed, many other universities offer identical rooms even with a double bed for 120 a week, e.g Liverpool
