I love the campus at Lancaster university as it is modernly designed (particularly the library) and there are lots of trees and green areas. However, I know there are some publicly transphobic staff and students who have sexually assaulted or spiked others are still roaming on campus
Pretty bog standard uni. Campus is slightly brutalist but we love it anyway. Nice location as can get to the Lake District pretty easily. Course is alright too.
Lots of great societies and communities, feels very easy to make friends!
Some lights in the library are noise controlled and it can be annoying and you sit still for so long and the lights turned off
great library and all lectures are recorded. lots of societies too. only complaint is poor drainage on most paths around campus, gets flooded when it rains
The best is the campus look! The worst is the location, it is a little bit remote.
safe campus and good college jcr
Good as nice place to be and good environmnet. could be improved if the lecturers were more consistent
Best - how the societies are run Worst - contact from Uni after incident in our flat
Being at a campus university is so nice, it has a great sting community that you get to know really well
There are several amenities available on campus and events hosted to support students.
Nice environment
They need more facilities for commuter students such as hot drinking water. Transport to and from preston should be more frequent. Loaction is good as it is not too close to town so you don't get distracted. Plenty of opportunities for students of all groups. Students union works very slowly and does not give back societies money on time.
Good library, and facilities. The buses are too expensive
Idk I'm not enjoying it rn.
its good
Lancaster University feels like a very welcoming place, and have made great efforts to accommodate my additional needs. My only issue was experiencing transphobic abuse whilst living on campus during my first year. I would have appreciated more of a proactive response from the university.
I love the campus and the feel of it. It’s beautiful and very close-knit, which makes it feel like a community. I love the library and other facilities provided and the fact that there are always events going on somewhere makes uni life more exciting. I would say the worst aspect of my university experience so far was the fact that I need to be wary and cautious of what I say and do. For example, I might be joking, or saying something without literally meaning it and I would get reported and invited to a meeting for that. These measures are necessary sometimes but require me to attend meetings which I would rather not attend because it’s not major most of the time for me. Another thing is that the porters lodge is not always available and for example for picking up parcels, there can be inconvenience which causes delays
Best aspect is that everything is available and easy to contact. If I was struggling or needed support I know where to go. The lecture halls are great as are the rooms where my seminar takes place and the teaching is great. Worst aspects are probably accessing the work online on a platform called Moodle. I, and a lot of my colleagues, find it really difficult to access and find the work especially considering we weren't given a lot of direction on how it works.

There are a lot of places to study within the library and there are a lot of resources to use at your fingertips. Within the Mathematics department there is a lot of support that you can access. The University organises loads of events where everyone is welcomed such as karaoke or the farmers market. The colleges also create a sense of community which is nice.
I enjoy the content of the course however I struggle to follow the lecturers as there lacks details and clarification in what they are teaching sometimes.
My bedroom provides everything I need. I appreciate the space and the sink and storage space that comes with it. The kitchen is nice and spacious and the people I live with are all very friendly. The location is close to the centre of campus making it easy to go to lectures in the mornings.
