Sort:Latest reviewsThe University of Lincoln consistently give great support within the courses, accommodation and outside life. the course leaders are excellent and offer good advice.
everywhere is close by, accommodation is excellent , the uni is attractive and the student support is good.
Feels homey and cosy & very conveniant lifestyle with many things on my doorstep
I like the facilities and location. The entire campus is walkable as is the city. One thing that needs to be improved is the quality of teaching. If I am in uni for 20 hours a week I expect to be taught, not just have a PowerPoint read at me. In maths examples are key, and getting not fully worked though examples on slides that are moved pass too quick are not helping.
library is really good

I would have to say that the best thing about studying at the University of Lincoln is the wide range of student workspaces that the university offers, every single building on campus has a designated study area open to all students throughout the week, with many even being open 24 hours a day and over the weekends. This means that it is always easy to find a chilled out quiet spot to sit down and work for hours to get any assignments done. The worst aspect of my university experience however, has to be a lack of support from the tutors, especially now that I am in my second year. Many of my tutors are very reserved when it comes to providing assessment support which is understandable as university is supposed to be more independent than other forms of education however without the additional support the transition from Sixth Form to Undergraduate can feel quite daunting and it did and to an extent still does for me.
The best aspect of the University is the facilities and the the support. The university has a fantastic library with many online resources as well as tangible books, the reading areas and work areas are great. The support the university offers is great. For improvement N/A
My lecturers are wonderful, fellow students are kind and willing to help each other out when confused about a module. Facilities are clean and modern, the libraries are useful and the laboratories we use for practicals have advanced machines which gives us a real sense of the industry. Student life is great with a club night called quack on every Wednesday giving our societies a night out to look forward to.
Friendly city with most places within walking distance. Student heavy city, which may be a good or bad thing dependant on what you prefer. Lots of night life if that’s what you like but also lots of places to eat and is a beautiful city to walk around.
The facilities given are amazing. The SU provides loads of support for housing, funding and guidance. The on-site GP is also really helpful.

First gen student
The lecturers and university staff are amazing at what they do. Plenty of support and assistance available. The student union is what I would describe as "utterly pathetic".
It's a friendly environment and there's a nice community feel. The campus and town are amazing, as everything is within walking distance.

Most things in Lincoln are within walking distance which is a great money saver. The teachers are very supportive and friendly to their students. You feel a real sense that people care about you. The city is also very student based despite its small size in comparison to others, but really has every activity and bar you'd need. I think the university could be improved if they highlighted in classes where students can find support and if they had more going on outside of studies for students on Saturday's for instance, etc
I don't live in campus, since its expensive, so I need to travel every day for university, since the timetable is quite badly done

Best computer lab Not really helpful staff
At the University of Lincoln, the highlight was undoubtedly the passionate professors who made learning a real pleasure. On the other hand, outside of academics, there were times when it felt like there weren't many activities or events happening in the city.
It's definitely a place to learn and make connections and you can be supported for every step you take no matter what you want to do with your life in uni and past it. It's not a beautiful place across campus but it's not bad at all, poorly lit at night though which can be a concern to some.
Makes it great - teaching staff so far, great library facilities, nice setting to say it is in the centre of a busy city. Could be Improved - an onsite convenience shop. Large eating areas selling meal deals similar to those in supermarkets as sandwiches can be rather pricey.
4.5
I’ve enjoyed it so far and I’ve found the city to be inviting and welcoming.
I didn’t know my tutor until my 4th week of second year after asking repeatedly through first year.
I like the familiarity of it but I didn’t like the people who I lived with.
