Uni is great, there is plenty to do and you are always encouraged to participate in different events and societies by the lecturers. I commute to uni and the campus is about a 5-10minute walk from the train station so it is accessible. There are a few places to eat at the university but not loads, there’s one main canteen, I think there should be maybe one canteen in each building. The lecturers are good and helpful and there is always support such as help with statistics or well being
best: amazing campus and facilities, everything is walking distance, beautiful city, lots of societies worst: some facilities expensive, on campus food expensive
This university is really underrated since it’s great in every aspect. I’m really enjoying it here till now
Best - having loads of things to do outside of the lectures that are linked to the uni e.g. quack wednesdays, sports clubs, societies, feel good programme etc. Worst - busy
I love the facilities, library and most lecture halls. The uni has a great feel and amazing location. Some halls are older than others but that's to be expected though I harbour a hatred for the Nichola Dela Haye lecture hall. Most lecturers are great and my tutor is very supportive. The student support team could be better but I suppose they're doing they're best.
as far as location goes, this uni is absolutely perfect. it's located right in the heart of everything whilst also being a campus uni. I live right opposite the campus, everything including the train station and supermarkets are within 10 minutes walk. you never have to walk any further than max 15 minutes to anything you could need. walking to uni takes less than 5 minutes to get to any part of the campus. it's absolutely perfect for the kind of uni life I wanted as I wanted a campus uni but hated the idea of having to get the bus everyday. for the location alone this uni was by far my favourite and since arriving I've only fallen more and more in love with it the worst aspects I'd say is there's a train track that cuts the campus in half so sometimes you have to wait a while if the barriers are down or just use the bridge. realistically this is me being incredibly pinicity and lazy though haha
It is all great. Modern buildings, up to date facilities and computers, quality teaching.
close to everything, good student life
the university is good in terms of accomodation, study spaces and buildings. the majoirty of the lecture halls are good and have enough room between peers but some of the older buildings are far too cramped and uncomfortable. the student union bars on campus are in great locations and the food and drinks are reasonably priced. the campus is also super close to the city centre whic makes nights out and shopping safe. there is also a good secuirty team available to help and pratrolling the campus at night also helping us keep safe. the wellbeing team is amazing. they have so much support and recources available and have always offered me a lot of support. Things that could be improved are the prices of the accomodation. its the easiest and best way to make friends but also so expensive and with loans not rising to where they should be it makes finding somewhere to live incredibly difficult.
The course itself is great in terms of tutors and modules studied. The location is amazing and the campus has a beautiful feel to it. Societies are varied and great to join. However, the treatment of joint honours needs to be improved as well as the student wellbeing centre.
- Great Location, you have everything on your doorstep, including shops, transport facilities etc. - Atmosphere is chilled, its a nice working environment and staff are very cooperative. - Great support links and employer opportunities - I can't really give an improvement! I love it where I am!
The best thing for me about the University of Lincoln is that everything is nearby. All of my lectures and seminars rooms are only a 10-15 minute walk away from my accommodation and the high street is close by. The worst aspect of my uni experience is struggling to balance my free time and my study time.

First gen student
Great studying environment and really positive experience with societies and sports clubs. It could be better if the union advertised their events more and if staff were more personal with students by creating a knowledge of students strengths and weaknesses.
I have made myself at home at Lincoln university. I feel safe and secure whilst on campus. Organisational wise the team who organise placements could give us a bit more notice on where we are going and liase with the hospitals to get our rotas sorted earlier than 2 weeks before placement. The uni needs to think of mature students with children in regards to placement and timings as getting out rotas 10 day before we start placement and to sort child care caused problems with a lot of people on my course. really enjoying being at Lincoln university.
Loads of places to study with two amazing library’s with good librarians
The environment and life around and in university is wonderful, the lectures are interesting and the way student union has amazing events. However, getting access to student wellbeing and mental health support is very difficult.


really nice campus lots of nature, could be improved by offering more support to students.
too many online lectures
