I am a Theatre Student and find the course enjoyable, staff always friendly and approachable. I don't think any other uni compares, even my friends that have came up to visit from other universities agree! I am gutted that I am going to be graduating in the summer! :(
Best university, from staff and students to facilities and environment! Great studying atmosphere and challenging social, personal and professional opportunities!
Lancaster is a great place to be a apart of for just so many reasons, it feels like home. It's location is just great, being close enough to town but also being far enough away that you can really enjoy the countryside. The uni itself has great facilities and an academic system that really appeals to me and helps me achieve what I want to be. Not all of uni is based around studying as you need to relax too which is something else Lancaster excels in with a large variety of clubs and societies and plenty of bars to help you mingle, whether your a brand new fresher or a well-versed third year.
I see lancaster university still as a hidden treasure. The campus is beautiful and I enjoy knowing how green it is. They staff are always helpful and my department are dedicated to the students. My uni continues to strive to be the best and find ways to make it better. There is a great sense of student prioriy.
Lancaster University has a very friendly atmosphere and great student support. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time there and so have all my friends. It will be very sad to leave at the end of the year.
This university is like no other with the mixture of a campus and colleges provides a perfect friendly atmosphere that makes you eager to learn and take on the many challenges and experiences available to you.
An amazing university, community feel throughout the university. Very chilled out yet motivating environment.
As a whole, the university offers extensive detail in courses; excellent engagement through the student union; and fantastic facilities. What more could you ask for?
Friendly and helpful. Amazing course and loads of student support. Accommodation and student facilities are immaculate and the campus is well maintained. Loads of extra curricular activities and a great city.
Amazing university set in a fantastic green campus. Many university bars and restaurants on the campus. The best thing about the university is its collegiate system which allows you to become very close many people in your college.
Loved every minute. Amazing course which was top 10 in the world, fantastic lecturers and support, and an awesome fun campus. I was in Pendle college and it had so much character it was brilliant.
Could not have chosen better! Brilliant atmosphere for life and academics. College life adds something special to the university experience and the bond within colleges, courses and societies make for varied social groups. The academic staff are engaging, helpful and friendly and will got out of their way to make sure you have what you need. The environment can be anything you want it to be! Student nights if you want to party, loads of nature walks for the outdoorsy type, and plenty of cosy indoor spaces too. With a strong focus not just on employability but your future Lancaster sets you up for wherever you want to go in life.
Incredible University, I have loved all my time here, the teaching is amazing from some of the best researchers around. Its a relatively new university so still has so much more potential to become even higher. current building is taking place to upgrade the library and build a new engineering building which will mean the University has even more excellent facilities. Particularly the Management school has a world reputation, so this is the only place anyone should be studying marketing! Its one of the only Universities to have a collegiate system therefore you feel at home in your house and there are plenty of responsible positions for you to get involved with and enhance your CV. I am currently a Student Ambassador for Lancaster University!
Management School is absolutely amazing and I had great time - met good people and made a lot of local and international friends. Never regretted my choice and overall great experience and would highly recommend Lancaster University to everyone.
Great university, great support, great courses, city is a little depressing but the university is brilliant. It is like a bubble you don't want to get out of, there is a lot of things to do within the university and food options are fantastic as well.
Lancaster University is one of the best campus University in the UK providing great education and social life. Many of its courses such as Accounting and Finance, English, Physics are top ranked. The student-staff relationships are also great as staff is very willing to help. All in all a heat university!
Overall amazing Uni all round, no complaints living here for 3 years now. You have everything you could imagine all around you, and campus life is amazing. Course are tough yet interesting
Lancaster is the friendliest university with a beautiful campus! There's a buzz about the campus that motivates students in lectures and sports/societies. It's great to be amongst the countryside although not too far away from the city centre!
