I think I would have really enjoyed it here if covid had not happened, I picked a different course and I didn't develop some foem of social anxiety. The uni itself is actually pretty decent, the staff in the SU are really friendly, there's a lot of society and the library is just like what I'd expect to find at any other uni. However the chemical engineering course has got to be one of the worst courses to do here. The lectures, whilst I appreciate them learning to speak English, are very hard to understand because more than half of them are not native English speakers. The quality of lecture slides is dismal, the course structure is inadequate and everytime I asked for help for a specific problem, the lectures would dance around the question like politicians and not give a solid response. I have come out of uni with a respectable 2:1, but I feel completely unprepared for working in my field. We barely get taught or encouraged to use any of the software provided, and whenever I look at chem eng graduates from other unis I struggle to see what Lancaster has positively done for my career in the chem eng field. I worked extremely hard, but got little in return for my efforts so I definitely do not recommend doing chemical engineering here.

University is really just ‘meh’ nothing too special
My department was trying very hard to make sure everyone is okay. The same was for my college, there was always someone who was willing to help. The college made people staying on campus free food from time to time and also for international students being forced to stay over the Easter holidays, there were some events going on. It was harder to make friends this year but there were still oportunities where to do so.
Enjoying it - enjoying course and uni life. Learnt a lot about my myself from my course and a lot from our tutors who industry professionals. Supportive tutors who are prepared to help
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.
It’s been great. Met so many people through various opportunities/ societies, working, volunteering. College system is definitely an asset. Campus has good facilities and everything you need
Overall, really good, everything I expected.
So far I've really enjoyed uni, I especially like the collegiate system as it gives a sense of community.
So far university has been a learning curve in living independently.
I'm so glad/grateful I made the choice to come here. I've made friends for life and am very confident in my employability and skills I've learnt.
