I love it
Location is very rural but the uni puts on things to do. Like the course
Lovely area to live and study. Great facilities for study and research. Staff are friendly and helpful. Could be improved by better links between the city and the uni.
It's got good study spaces and resources for students
It’s a great university
Best thing is the campus and worst is probably LUSU
Facilities, especially Bailrig House is amazing.
The lecture facilities and teaching is really good. Not good night life.
Best: social life and societies Worst: occasionally no hot water in student accommodation
I love the community and uni life that you get in first year that carries through to the other years
Good having a campus that is it's own little community. There's always construction on campus
Campus is lovley the study rooms in the library are the best thing abd the shops around are usefull. However the shops need to be cheaper!
I love being near the Lake District. I like that Lancaster city and the university is smaller so it feels more friendly and not overwhelming. The downside is that there is less to do in Lancaster compared to other cities as it is a bit smaller. The campus is a little ugly too.
Good
Best - everyone is so welcoming and the activities on campus are really good Worst - it’s a long way from home for me me
Lovely campus. Great people. Good facilities (IT, lecture halls, library). Lecturers are always amazing. Love the community and markets. Not all societies are good — sports societies sometimes feel a bit unwelcoming to outsiders.
First year felt a little isolating but I don't think that's any fault of the uni, the services were very engaging. It's important to be reminded how important it is to put personal effort in
I think it's aight but the workload makes me wanna Kms I think I'm just lazy though, but idk how I'm supposed to get so many secondary sources
The campus is the best part about the university, everything's all together.
