Overall it’s a very friendly uni, and the campus life makes first year much less intimidating. If you’re at univeristy for the “uni experience” and are big on partying bare in mind that there’s not the biggest nightlife in lancaster but you’re not far from manchester!

Lancaster is the most welcoming and supportive university. Campus is full of kind, like-minded people and it is full of beautiful scenery, places to socialise and a lot of ducks! The laboratory facilities are amazing and the research you have a chance to be a part of is cutting edge. The lecturers are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable in their subjects. The teaching is of the highest quality and you learn all the skills needed for your future career. The placement year programme is also invaluable, you get all the support you need in finding a placement and while you’re working. It really is one of the best things I have ever done. Our student’s union is ever improving, becoming a more central hub at the university every year. The location is quite remote, and Lancaster city doesn’t have many clubs, which I know some students consider, but there are plenty of bars and the student night club is great. There are many nature walks and animals to see which always gives a nice break from studying. For me, Lancaster was the perfect balance between night life and day to day life being fun, fulfilling and peaceful. It is a beautiful city, a beautiful campus and an extremely close and loving community. It provides you with countless opportunities to grow and learn. I have had the best 4 years of my life here and wouldn’t change it for the world.

I love the campus, there is so much nature and walks to go on when having breaks from study. This allows for a refresh. There are so many people you can talk to from friends, college presidents, academic tutors etc - you never feel alone. There is also so many places to study, whatever suits you best; there’s even outside pods. The social life is great, there’s 8 bars on campus and then the bus journey into town is simple where there’s even more to do. Loads of places to eat, walk, sit down etc - i’m never bored. The university provides loads of social clubs, I’m doing netball and there’s a social each week plus training and a game each week. The college pulls everyone together with things such as winter ball, freshers week. There is nothing I can think of to improve the university.

Lovely campus set in the countryside. Only con of this is the distance from the city centre and the connectivity of the campus to the city isn't always the best due to buses being the only mode of public transport avaiable. Sports facilities are extremely good.

Good things: - Very student oriented, not just in the fact that it is a campus university, which gives it a nice seclusion and comfort, but in the very warm feel of the university and the plethora of support available. - Furthermore despite it's seclusion, the amount and quality of events doesn't suffer, this is down both to the student union and the colleges and clubs in the university (of which the club's are under the student union). The student run nature of them and the amount of them means any student can find atleast one club they are interested in, and these clubs often offer very interesting and memorable events. The colleges too are in this vein, and offer similarly memorable events that encourage students to go out and enjoy themselves. - The facilities are often good on campus, with the lecture hall being perhaps older in some instances but still modern in aspects and still a fine place for lectures to take place. Food-wise, there is a large selection, some of which is at a good price. Furthermore the accomodation is good, there are few issues, and the ones that exist to tend to get fixed decently quickly, though this is not a rule. There are also a variety of facilities, including the multi-faith chaplency which I appreciate in its ability to cater to many different types of religious, and non-religious, students. - Lastly as it must be mentioned, as I find it to be one of the most surprising and enjoyable aspects. The staff here is incredible, from the porters, who are always sweet and kind, to the library staff and security, who are as friendly as can be, there is fostered here a distinct sense of community. Not just in the student life as above mentioned, but in the way the staff interacts with that life, and the comfort it brings. It fosters a sense of safety and belonging. Cons: - Food choice is expensive often, and if a student wishes to look at the options for food, they may often find them lackluster or out of their price range. - As before mentioned, flat repairs are fast by rule, they are fast much of the time but not always. For instance, my flat had a fridge that was partially broken, and was not nearly cold enough, but was not fixed until nearly the end of the first term, despite reminders. - Despite the inclusion of the sober society, there is still a large emphasis on drinking and clubbing in social events. If that is for you, then it is a plus, but for me, who doesn't drink, it has left me alienated a couple of times. Feeling that I cannot go despite their assurances that I could. Further that, and the lack of enjoyment I find in clubbing, which I find excludes me from social events, not entirely, but noticeably enough.

Almost all university campus areas are modern, clean, and welcoming spaces to live and study in. The campus is conveniently located a 20-minute bus journey from Lancaster City Centre, and buses are frequent. Student support is offered from several channels, including your college, department, and Student Union.

It's great because the university has a really welcoming feel, and because the campus is so green it feels a lot nicer than other university campuses I visited when choosing where to study. There is also a lot of support available if you need it. One of the downsides being that it is relatively small compared to other universities and there isn't always a lot of choice with things to do so can feel claustrophobic.

The professors are well equipped to answer any questions students may have, and are happy to help. The library is also a great place to study, with lots of space and a diverse range of literature that are useful in your own writings. Possibly the price of items on campus? Bit too expensive for everyday.

Best - the friendly and helpful staff, warm and supportive tutors. Worst - lack of funding for sertain areas, limited additional support for students in tricky financial situations.

Lancaster University is a great place to study thanks to it's amazing facilities and range of resources available. It is also in a good location, with being only an hour away from larger cities and also close to nature and fairly near the lake district, so you are able to explore on weekends and find a balance between the two. I personally feel as though there is a lack of support available at the university though, and that is something that needs to improve. In terms of both academic and mental health support.
