Overall, the university is modern and well maintained with great facilities especially for computing students. There is so nice accommodation around, and everything is within walking distance (including shops, the train station, and green spaces) so it's easy and you save money on transport. However, the course was a let down for me - this is due to some poor staff who aren't particularly supportive and don't explain content well, lectures and workshops that's aren't interesting or engaging, and very few contact hours on the timetable.
Brilliant Uni! Great support and staff. Despite the first year of Uni being during covid, I still enjoyed my experience! 10/10 would recommend
The teacher is very in depth with lecturers who are working in the profession - this gives them good inside knowledge into the industry and helps the students. The university has lots of places to study on campus and host a range of activities including quack, the student night and events with reslife and student life. One thing I think the university could improve upon is by having more support for final year students going into graduate roles. There are a few places and people to contact to speak to but it doesn’t feel like a lot of support
I cannot think of a worst aspect of the uni but i would definitely say that the best aspect is the student wellbeing support. It is better than any other uni that I looked at or that I have been told about
It's a very friendly-feeling campus, lots of events on and widely-advertised student support in a very wide range of areas. Huge range of study spaces with constant access and lots of places to buy food as well. Almost all lectures are in person again now but with online assessments. Not sure there's much I would want to improve really...some very big class sizes to start with and some of the lecture content we had at the start of the year was not very useful for students who had already covered topics at A-Level (for example going all the way back to introducing subatomic particles in chemistry) but I understand that everyone has to get to the same level. Good policy of recording and uploading all lectures too, so people can catch up if they miss a lecture.
Lecturers are helpful and come across as if they really care. Not enough student spaces for relaxation and conversation, the library is often full in areas where it is acceptable to chat and make noise

My course is a specialist course, so I get to learn a lot and gain lots of experience. I like the campus and facilities and use them a lot.
Facilities are modern and contain everything the course requires (computer labs, furnished lecture halls). The location is in central Lincoln, five minutes from the train station, and several bus routes available. This also means that students have plenty to do over the weekend. The student union provides advice for student living, accomodation and employability, as well as some on campus places to eat.
A really friendly place and a fun course to study.
Best aspects are facilities and meeting new people however worst aspect is having difficult flatmates
Best aspects: - Clean and well-maintained campus. It has a pleasing modern design that makes it seem larger than it is. - The inner lincoln area that surrounds the campus keeps improving. Everything you need is at a close distance, including well-established nightlife and entertainment. - The university facilities are well-signposted and frequently shown. It's hard to get lost if you know your destination. Toilets and available meeting rooms absolutely everywhere. - The student union supports the students effectively and encourages meeting up regularly to keep on the same page. They also do a good job of creating entertainment and opportunities for the students. - The university has thriving careers help service that makes working on campus available and goes to great lengths to prepare as many students as possible for professional careers. - If you put the time into university life (i.e. reading student news, reading emails...), you will find a lot to get involved in. I like often having opportunities to get involved, even if it is just to pass the time. Worst aspects: - The student union pretty much spams your university inbox with advertisements. It is difficult to sign off on them. Every other day I am reminded of dominos deals. These company partnerships are great for making freshers interesting, though. - The sports centre is very interesting, but I have barely seen any advertisements or incentives to check it out. It might just be something you need involvement in to understand. As a computer science student, I have never had a reason.
It gives you a bug range of opportunities throughout your degree, It’s not just grade-focused but also career orientated, you can improve your life skills as well as you academic ones. I would improve the support given to students even more, above all before coming here.
The city of Lincoln is beautiful. The student support available is so helpful.
I really like the city and the uni campus and how close it is to town. The staff are very supportive and I like my course.
Student union prices are extortionate, some staff are excellent but others don’t seem bothered at all. The campus is great
The university is actually listening to its students and trying to improve their learning experience! But you must be able to raise an issue and explain the problem that you are struggling to resolve as an adult. Also, if you have an idea of how to improve your or the future generation's learning experience, the university will actually listen to you, they will take your opinion seriously, and they will take into consideration your suggestions. However, they are not best friends with "communication". You often get last-minute information about changes, or sometimes the instructions are unclear. The response to any correspondence from them also takes a long.
Best: My teachers have been fantastic, very knowledgeable on their subjects and willing to support As part of the SU as a Rep, I can see they do so much to try help students I like the location of main campus, very accessible from public transport and such Lots of places on campus to eat which is great Worst: Despite knowing the uni and SU work really hard behind the scenes, I think it is often not shown to students who aren't reps and they're not aware their feedback is being acted upon. Not a lot going on for mature students unless they want a night out

I think the location and atmosphere really helps, as the river is home to lots of wildlife such as the swans! There are also lots of opportunities to walk within the nature reserves nearby which really help with mental wellbeing for students. I also love the Quack! events hosted every Wednesday at our students’ union, they’re a great way to hang out with friends. There aren’t really any problems in my opinion!

Great facilities and industry links. Could be more environmental and have more nature, and draw more attention to what’s there.
4.5
Some students are making life quite hard, their behaviour could be considered as bullying. The actual uni itself is amazing and the lectures are fun and interesting.
Will get more interesting as I get to choose my lectures because it can be quite hard to follow when you’ve got no previous knowledge on the topics but when you do it’s great
Good for money but I did have a silverfish problem till I called management
