First gen student
The best aspect of my university life has been the geography course and making many friends on my course. It helped that I lived on campus on the first year and got the real university experience. I love Lincolns location- it is close to many other places in the UK since its located central to England, there's plenty of green spaces around Lincoln which makes it feel like a city and a forest all in one. The library is really beautiful and easy to study in and the location on campus is perfect. I love how Lincoln isn't spread out too much and all lectures/ seminars take place in close proximity to each other. The worst aspect of my uni experience was obviously covid. It distrusted my studies so much. Online lectures were hard to focus on and I lost a lot of motivation and love for learning. Another aspect is housemates. It is a shame that housing markets make students choose houses so early on in the academic year. This is a time you don't really know your current roommates but feel forced to live with people who you don't necessarily get on with. This can really affect university life and mental health. If one thing could be changed for future years, it should be forcing the student housing market to get students to sign up later in the year and not in the first few weeks of meeting new people. Overall i have loved my uni experience, it's just a shame it will be over soon. I plan to do a masters at the same university because I love the campus and the city but it won't be the same.

The mix of modern and historic architecture gives you a nice well rounded feel and campus is situated really close to the city centre for shopping and going out.

Best - student support, lots of study space, good location Worse - more green space/outdoor study space
I love that everything is together.

Love Lincoln as a place, the uni offers 3 food packages per student a year, the teachers are cool
The best part about my university experience in Lincoln, was the joy of getting to know new people from all sorts of places around Britain and the rest of the world. Being able to have fun and new experiences with new people is incredibly exciting, and is made easy by the student union that host multitudes of events in and around the fabulous city. It's an excellent campus but can at times be very frustrating as it is built on either side of the railway tracks that run through Lincoln! However there are enough paths and bridges to get to your next lecture on time. The facilities within the University are plentiful and students have access to almost all of them. It's location within England is good. It's not too far from the beach and far enough away from other main cities and roads that the traffic through Lincoln is never too bad and it's a comfortable hour journey to Nottingham on the train. Buildings in Lincoln can date back to the late 12th century and it's iconic steep hill makes quite a nice walk. But luckily trecking up and down the hill isn't necessary as a student as almost all the student life can be found very close to the university itself, which can make for excellent night life.
All the staff are so welcoming and easy to talk to. The campus is all close together so it’s easy to get to any building you need to or to switch between
This year hasnt been a great year for any student. i think my university needs to improve on giving more mental health help to everyone and have check ins with students. Also alot of students need alot of support with work as it is hard to do online work from home
Poor due to coronavirus, frustrating being expected to do the same amount of work in the same amount of time but being told our lecturers can’t mark work as quickly and to let them off because it’s been a hard year
To be honest there has been no enjoyment at uni as we have spent it in lockdown and self isolation, I wouldn’t say that’s the unis fault ofcourse however there was a lack of care and effort put into online lessons and the student support was not great.
I graduated with a first class degree with an attendance of less than 30% in my final year, this course and university are a joke. By the end I had maybe 3 classes a week, none of which offered any 1 on 1 support, it was 2 lectures and a 30 person workshop. Tried to seek help for my mental and physical health and ended up having to travel home to see a doctor there as the uni services completely fell short. I came out with the best possible degree and I still feel scammed.
The people I met and the experiences I had were outstanding. The University of Lincoln School of Engineering did everything in their power to make it awful though and the SU would be better off not existing.
I couldn't have gone anywhere else. Lincoln has got better and better since I've been here and starting gaining a reall good reputation for a top 20 UK uni. Definitely the best years of my life with career support, sports facilities, on-site gym, regular events and a great city life.
Pretty good. I’ve met lots of new friends and done things I wouldn’t have ever had the opportunity to do elsewhere. My course has taught me a lot about the subject and how I can become an employable graduate.
I have very much enjoyed my 2 years
4.5
More student support would make the university experience much more enjoyable as the stress can feel overwhelming. More support from tutors and family friendly support would go a long way. The location is great.
Contact with tutors is a major issue no support for students and their concerns. Not enough content tailored for mental health very generalised to adult nursing
