It's a nice experience. I love teaching and learning new stuff every day. There are many resources to avoid feeling bored. However, some of these activities might not be research-related.

It depends. I think it works after you finish your program, but you're no longer here when it happens.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
I like been challenged. I don't like when nobody provides me with feedback about my progress. Sometimes I feel I'm just being used to pay someone else hours and that I'll not receive any special treatment unless I pay these hours.

It's OK. But I don't understand what I should consider as support. I have some meetings I have to report. Is that support? Do you mean someone I can contact at any time? For academic purposes, I'm dependent on my tutors' availability. For personal support, there must be more constant support.

Though I didn't particularly like Lancaster at first, I learnt to stick to it and approach things in a more positive and open mindset. As soon as I decided to really push myself to engage with the range of opportunities the University presents its students, my entire experience changed, and I felt included! Finding the right people, discovering the area, and really taking the time to invest yourself in the course you chose is something I found to be key to the Lancaster experience.
