Lincoln itself is a very nice city making it a perfect location, the students union also have the best deals and help where they can, and most tutors are willing to help quickly.
All the lecturers could easily explain any topic that you were struggling with in multiple ways. Mental health support in lectures is present but not exercised enough
Uni library closed during term breaks early which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I have always loved Lincoln, for it's history and it's continually updating city centre. The university is right in the centre, everything is walkable, making it very accessible for everyone. I am now in my final year of mental health nursing and I can confirm I absolutely love it. The cohort for this course is small so there is more personalised teaching and tutoring, which is great for people who struggle to stay focussed in big lecture halls (like me). We have amazing simulation suites that are kitted out to look exactly like hospital wards, with all the equipment. The only downside I can think of, is having multiple assignments running alongside our placement, as time management is not my best trait, but I have made it work so far, and with the support from Uni, I know I will be able to complete this final year to a high degree!

Very welcoming and informative first week. As an older student I had some concerns but they have done their best to make sure everyone feels welcome and included. My course is extremely interesting, the tutors and lecturers have so much knowledge and it’s been drilled in to us where to go to get help if we need it! Love coming here. The worst aspect is the parking is so expensive close to the uni!
Since starting at the university, it has been nothing but the best. The facilities are fit for use and are open to us when we need them. The staff are supportive and punctual with their responses to emails and face to face issues or concerns. The issues and concerns have been little. Some confusion of what I can do with a brief but this was resolved within the same day. They always remind us of where we can go for support and always offer their email as a place for direct help. Overall my experience at university has been amazing and I can not wait for second and third year.
The teaching is incredibly high quality, with lecturers that care about what they do. The support is excelent both from lecturers and student wellbeing. However Lincoln struggles in research funding which does impact the quality of the laboratories and the options that can be afforded to students.
Best: - There is an on campus GP. - Close to the high street/ shops/ supermarkets - A lot of student support, if you require it, especially regarding mental health/ neurodivergence. - Lincoln is just nice to look at. - Campus is close to all of the student accommodations, max 25 min walk I believe. - The library is really nice. Worst: - Some lecturers aren't the best at communication, sometimes people get the answer "you just have to figure it out". - A lot is independent learning, like a ton, which can be overwhelming at times.
The uni is so well situated. You have plenty of shops within a short walk from all accomodations, it's right by the train station so it's easy to travel to and from home, everything you need is in walking distance. There's plenty of clubs and pubs for social nights. And lots of society options too which are super easy to join!

There is not much emphasis on sober social events and some societies are very expensive.
Very safe place, student union is super involved, very easy to make friends here.
This uni is great! It really focuses on students and ensuring everything is focused on the experience of those who come here.
I absolutely love Lincoln University. It’s right in the middle of the city and close to all of the shops and food you could ever need. The Uni itself is amazing and very modern in my opinion. The equipment and facilities are outstanding. All of the staff members I’ve met so far have been amazing and so supportive. Freshers week was very well organised and the timetables and lessons during term time are too. The amount of student accommodation is also wonderful and they have a variety of uni owned and independent accommodation at a range of different prices. Many of these accommodations are less than 10 minute walk away from the uni. Lincoln is great, I really recommend it :)
Amazing university, the location is amazing from a beautiful lake with swans to lovely restaurants and a shopping centre all in one area. The tutors are very supportive and all facilities are very accessible.
The students union could help societies more, in terms of making it easier to get funding and run events. Student support is great flat out the best Student wellbeing need to be more ambitious in their support of disabled students and more demanding with reasonable adjustments It's pretty good overall though
My best experiences from Lincoln come from its being in a beautiful and safe city with a pretty and well set out campus with good amenities. I especially enjoy the gym. However, I feel the university is struggling with funding and my worst experiences come from the swapping and changing of lecturers due to low funds.
Lincoln is genuinely a lovely place to be and it’s so easy to love here out from home. But when it’s dark it never feels safe.
