Everything is fantastic, however as a mature student the experience for those of us who are a lot older than most of the students is slightly lacking. I cannot comment on the accommodation as this is something I have not experienced. My time so far has been enjoyable and I have grown in confidence, overall I would say The University of Lincoln is a great place to study.
The lectures and tutorials are very insightful and packed with professional and academic knowledge. However, feedback on exams could be a lot better, it often that certain feedback is left not properly explained, and tutors are not the best at answering queries.

what makes Lincoln a great place to study is the overall feel of it, i think because its a smaller city it doesn't feel like its huge and daunting like other universities. I previously studied at a different university and the feel of the overall vibe is completely different its noticeable. I think they are a great place to facilitate all aspects of student life rather than living and breathing your studies. Improvement could be slightly more organised from the staff, they're doing a pretty good job already, but its common to have results pushed back at this university and not as much responses to emails, and the timetable is sightly confusing to wrap around in the beginning.
I really love the area and the campus and I love how home like it feels however there could be a bit more support in the wellbeing aspect

I have really enjoyed getting started at UOL, there is so much support that I have observed and even benefitted from. As a 1st year, Ive been worried most about not being able to figure things out and the new structure of learning, but there is a big library with plenty of friendly staff who are willing to answer your questions and help where they can- there is also a students wellbeing hub, i haven't needed it myself but it is reassuring to know that its available for all students. the location of the university is great, very central, with access to shops and entertainment. there is a lovely canal that flows by.
The uni itself is really nice! Lots of study and group meeting spots are provided. The buildings are very close together and its easy to get around. However, its hard to get out of the city if you do not have a car. More frequent trips to the sea, other cities... by the Students Union would be nice.
Best things: - Campus is quite small and everything is close together (including shops nearby) which makes things efficient and easy for students - Library and multiple floors, including a silent floor which allows a lot of room for studying - Law school took feedback into account and acted upon it Worst things: - Needing to be on the university wifi to register attendance, wifi is not strong for this and can cause issues - Heard stories of seminar tutors not being good - haven't really had a personal situation with this though
Best - support to students and modern facilities Improvements - more support at the start of how to use blackboard
The best aspect are the facilities and what there is to offer, in terms of computers services, access to books in the library and additional support to help with courses. The worst aspect perhaps would be the location which is very marginal however in terms of parking there is limited spaces on campus.
Lovely surroundings area which is easy to walk round in a short amount of time. The university library is an amazing place to study with vast resources and good internet. However, I wish the power points for the lectures were put on blackboard well in advance of the lecture. This would enable students to prepare for lecture well in advance of the lesson; thus making the lecture more useful.
the best aspects are the campus and the location. Something I would change is the extortionate prices of the cafes on campus. They know we’re uni students
I think that the school of chemistry staff are friendly and easy to talk to. The building that they are in, JBL, is probably the most awkward building to walk to in my personal opinion which makes me not want to go to JBL.

The University of Lincoln is a massive upgrade compared to my university back in my home country. The best aspects have been the lecturers, whom are all extremely helpful, passionate, kind and friendly, as well as the comprehensive facilities and specialist software and equipment for my course that the university provides freely for us to use. I am also impressed at the amount of various types of support that is available and how easily each support service can be accessed. The only bad aspect I've had, especially as an international student that's transferred here in my third year, is trying to fit in with my classmates. The students in my class are not as friendly as I expected; perhaps more and regular events for new students to make friends and meet new people within their course should be hosted to ease the "settling in" process.
The facilities and buildings, in general, feel very modern and filled with up-to-date equipment and the staff are generally friendly, although some modules are very poorly explained with less guidance than I'd like, and what guidance is given feels unhelpful. The university location within the city is fantastic, it's only 30 seconds or so from the high street and there are great shops and the like, but there aren't many interesting green spaces within walking distance, although this is more to do with the area of the country than the university and not something they can change. Timetabling is generally good, although some lectures end quite late which is frustrating as it leaves no time to write up notes after the fact. There also feels like there's a lack of real lecture halls, as many of our lectures are in small seminar rooms which are quite badly equipped for delivering lectures; small screens, little desk space, and flat floors so the view of the front can easily be obstructed.
I love how everything is near you: the shops, the campus, cafes and restaurants and the train station. Sometimes the trains passing through are noisy but that can't be helped The campus look is alright, like the swans
