Not having a fully supporting staff is the worst university experience!!!! The lack of funding resulted in the staff and academic giving less than 50 percent effort and dedication.
You asked me about eye candy here. THE EYE CANDY AT LANCASTER IS PRETTY POOR. Basically most guys seem to have girlfriends. It's so bad that we have a facebook group about the lack of hot men!!
Well it`s totally interesting. I have some nice experiences, but city life is not engaging. Keep your mind open and focus on your expertise and time will fly by.
Uni is great. The facilities are good as well. The system at Lancaster allows you to study up to three subjects in your first year, depending on the weighting of your major.
It is a lot different. You have to be initiative and do work outside lectures even though you are not told to.My advice is to be brave and adventurous
I am enjoying Lancaster very much. Lancaster is a relatively quiet city, not that big but plenty of bars and shops in my eyes. IF you want a big city go to Manchester or Birmingham. It's nice to see countryside in my opinion..
The great thing about my uni is that they have many clubs and societies you can join. Over 70 societies and clubs to join - i joined the Horse Riding club in my first year, Taekwondo club and the Debating Society in my second and the darts team as a post-grad student. You get to meet lots of interesting people from different walks of life and go on socials regularly.
Our Student Union is one of the best, by far! I would love to go to more events and make my university experience more complex. I met a lot of cool people and I hope I`ll keep in touch with them.
Lancaster experience is amazing for me. I learned many things. The bars are good for meetings and nights out, there is one in every college and the prices are too bad. There are coffee shops and a couple of restaurants too for those who dont drink or want to go into bars.
I enjoy my last year here in Lancaster in the same way as I did first 2 years. Is amazing. Only thing I can say is to choose private house . Is cheaper. Second and third year was spent living in a house in Lancaster city which was fantastic - near to shops, bars, restaurants and not spending too much time on campus so Uni is more like a job than your whole life
The city is really a mess. If it was to make the choice at which university I am gonna study, I won`t choose Lancester again. The city is too small. It`s ok for a regular life, but I want to develop myself and this is not going to happen in a small town.
If I was to give an advice for future students it would be to get informed before coming to Lancaster.The uni is good but after u finish to study here it will still be hard to find a job. The tutors don't help you find a job that easily.
I am personally not so experienced to give my advice but if I have to...The best piece of advice I could give somebody come here would be to have a nice big warm and waterproof coat. The weather isn't brilliant but I love it <3
Some very good lectures, some very poor. Good facilities; very poor catering facilities, we pay too much for them, considering we already pay a lot to study here. A compromise will be good.
enjoy my course, I have 2 lectures a week and then a seminar and a lab. You dont have to always turn up to your lecture, as all the powerpoint slides and notes get put onto the university website, but its better to go, and make sure you catch up if you dont
The library is pretty good but daunting the first few times you use it. They don't always have the resources you are looking for, and often don't have enough copies of books to go around.
The campus is great, provides many opportunities, both for studying and having fun. The lectures are really useful, the lecturers being top quality, the facilities are one of the best i have ever seen. The problem is that the city is relatively small and there is not much diversity in it.
You will be very busy once you progress to second year with lots of coursework and projects. Actually you can learn a lot form those courses with some practical experience. Lecturers are really nice and patient. So you can always get some help if you need them.You should focus more on your real interest rather than just decide it based on ranking.

Many people discuss the campus problem. I think Lancaster is just fine.he campus situation is not a problem as town is just 10 mins away and has a wide range of shops.
