Sort:Latest reviewsAMAZING! Best 3 years of my life I was a member of Bowland College and the social side was great as well as the lecturers and my course which was English Lit The uni is so big but the splitting into colleges means you get to know your college, I love the community side to it all.
Great campus based uni. Everyone lives so close together so it feels like a huge family. Feels so safe and secure. The uni are always striving to be the nest, there is always new accommodation being built or improved.
uni is very welcoming, students and staff are always willing to help. Campus is new and opportunities are endless, overall great uni. I would recommend to all my friends and love the town also
Studying Ba (Hons) at Lancaster from 2005-2008 was the best three years of my life. I took Philosophy as a minor in my first year and thanks to that flexible system, I decided to make it my major and I loved every minute of it. Lancaster's collegiate system is a great way to make friends and the campus has a lovely friendly atmosphere. Would recommend 110%.
The best time of my life - I would go back and do it all again without a shadow of a doubt. There was nothing more Lancaster could have offered me and I know I have made friends for life as well as achieving a brilliant degree that I use in my work every day.
Amazing! This university gave me everything I could of asked for: great facilities, great course, great community! The course I studied was BSc Business Studies - the teaching was of a very high quality and on challenging topics.
Good university, with great job prospects, facilities and teaching material. Also, provides easy access to town and interesting night life with different events and opportunities to go out at any day of the week
quite simply the greatest educational establishment to bless gods great earth. In many ways it is the Venice of the North. I'm in need of more characters and this survey is beginning to take longer than I'm willing to contribute to it.
Great university, best decision I ever made! I had a great feeling about Lancaster University when I went to an open day there and knew from then it was where I wanted to be!
A beautiful campus with excellent Accomadation. The nightlife is surprisingly good for such a small city but it's not for someone who wants a crazy city lifestyle.
Being a first year undergraduate from Poland having just spent his first term at Lancaster, I am really stunned by the quality of this particular uni choice. In general, Lancaster University is a very friendly community (which made the transition of a somewhat lost foreign student so much easier!) and a efficiently functioning one to boot!
Such a great place, everyones so friendly, lecturers are great, even though the towns small the nightlife is amazing and theres no beating Lancaster's campus, we've got a chinese, a greggs, a subway, even a pizzeria.. Sports facilities are also very good, including tennis courts, various football pitches, a full gym with all the facilities you'd expect.
A university with big campus, Different exciting activities and society . is a good place to study nice area to eat and have fun with friends. The university got so many college that you can pick to belong to. quite nice accommodation Would be better if there is more stuff to do in town. the university is providing good support not just internally but also externally Im enjoying my university live in Lancaster :)
A lovely campus with state of the art gym, many bars including cocktail bars, old pubs and sports bars. A large library, currently under construction. brilliant tutors and very interesting literature lectures. buses are very easy to get to Uni in about 10 mins, town has a variety of clubs, though not many all are safe and cheap. Nightline is available to struggling students. parking is impossible to get on campus and off.
Brilliant learning environment with amazing, skilled lecturers. Courses are brilliant and relevant. Accommodation is at a great standard and well worth the money. The campus is equipped with the latest technology with plenty available for students to use 24/7 in the library such as computers and printers. Student services are excellent with short waiting times for counsellors and job and housing advice.
It is a great university, located in a beautiful area, with an amazing infrastructure and amazing staff and professors. I had great opportunities and the best time over there.
The accomadation and facilities on campus are fantastic, it is research based so you get up current resarch included within lectures, however student services and housing help isn't the best.
An excellent uni, particularly good for physics with excellent, helpful staff that are incredibly talented in their own field but still happy to work with you when you are struggling.
Fantastic setting for a university, probably on the quieter side so it doesn't suit everybody. My tutors have been very helpful in my first term and I can always contact them via email. The collegiate system is great and the college rivalry helps you settle in a makes you feel part of the community. There is plenty to do on campus, particularly college sports and there are over 250 societies that you can get involved in, if sports aren't for you... there is definitely something different to get involved in!

You can't help but leave Lancaster with a fantastic degree and an incredible three years spent there. I'm so glad I decided to go there and I will always remember fondly my time spent there. Well deserving of its top 10 status.
