Extremely beautiful campus and city, with everything in close proximity makes it an easy and enjoyable place to live and attend for uni.
What I like about Lincoln University is that its in a convenient location, like the town and shops are nearby. And from campus it can be only a 5 minute walk to town. Feel like the university could do with offering more personalised volunteering or work placement opportunities.
The university of Lincoln in my opinion is an up and coming modern university that often gets neglected or overshadowed by older universities. The campus is incredibly beautiful with the combination of the city centre on its doorstep next to all the student accommodations and brayford lake. The buildings are clean, modern and spacious with lots of facilities including two libraries , support hubs , student unions building , our own music and nightclub venue , two student funded pubs and hundreds of study spaces. The only improvement I would give is to update lincoln courts accommodation and provide a lot more cheaper university owned accommodations instead of building ones that no one can afford. The staff at univeristy in my opinion have been excellent with the majority of bioveterinary staff being the most supportive. The modules for my course are really well structured and engaging. Once again the only minor improvement would be to add more greenery or colour to campus as most walk space is dull grey concrete and pebbles.

Really supportive and friendly staff. They are willing to help with anything. It can be a bit disorganised at times and we are sometimes left in the dark until last minute.
The campus and location of the University are great, as it is in the centre of the city, which is convenient for students, and the campus has different buildings designated to accomodate each course/school. The quality of teaching is excellent and the materials and resources are easily accessible. The Student Union is great in that it offers a wide range of societies, and the insurance for societies is easy to sort, however communication with the student union could be better.
very good, such a good range of food options
Love how all the accom is on campus. nothing is more than 15 minutes away.
Great library services and Student Union.
I like the fact the main campus is small and quite self contained. The proximity to town and essential facilities is also nice
Nice location, campus looks great. Not a lot goes on to bring students to campus outside of studies. Union pubs/bars mediocre for the price.
The university has plenty of different buildings with different vibes and aesthetics which is nice as it switches things up. Some buildings have cafes or food places and there is a wide variety. There is so much student support through reps, the SU, lecturers, tutors, and more. The uni is placed very well in Lincoln with so much around it but it doesn't feel like its enclosed by the city - it still feels like its own place and it's gorgeous. The SU is really good and the student life if pretty good too
I primarily chose Lincoln for its location and the look and feel of the campus. I thoroughly enjoy the module content. However, you have to pay for facilities such as printing (studio) or ceramics- it is not included in the tuition you pay. Fortunately, Adobe programs come free (which is what I am really interested in).
love it
I really enjoy the location of the campus and the facilities of the school are great. However, the societies/student union I feel could use more work when it comes to organisation
The atmosphere and the course Not much to be improved. Maybe just faster responses to emails

First gen student
The University of Lincoln is set in a beautiful city with so much rich and vibrant history surrounding it. Including the castle, cathedral and Roman arch to just a name a few. Right from day 1 I was really impressed with the campus look as it’s clean, well kept and taken care of. I am now in the second year and this decision has never waned. The feel to me was always important and now I feel like I will forever be knowing Lincoln as the start of my new life. This was backed by the support of the student services. Whilst at times they weren’t always the greatest, once you find the one that is happy to help you then no problem is too big for you both to tackle. As I agree and I’ve spoken to a few of my friends and they agree, the facilities that campus has is exactly what we need. Whether it’s something to help us with our course right up to somewhere to get free cold water they have all you need. So with all this in mind it’s why Lincoln I find a brilliant place especially, to finally say, whether your a drinker to someone that abstains from it there is always events going on in the Uni to excite you. The societies we have are crucial for having fun in free time, making new friends and doing things you’d never of thought of doing before. This year I am part of 4 different societies which do a range of things from movie nights straight up to taking part in things happening in Lincoln.
The Uni has a really nice atmosphere, being in a great location with really nice buildings. I am yet to meet a lecturer who doesn't give it their all
University of Lincoln is a great place to study, with great career opportunities offered to students
The course itself is really engaging and interesting and societies are fun and well run. However, support for students could be better such as assessment help on the course (especially in first year).


Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, year 2’s goal is to overwork you though, other than that it’s great
Too much independent work
