All of the university accommodation is a great distance from the university campus. The university app is also great for finding any information needed and how to find lecture buildings however it doesn't show how to get to it inside the building so you can easily get lost so I would say that could be an improvement.
Great uni, great facilities
This university of Lincoln has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I highly recommend it without reservation. From the moment I started, I was immediately struck by the diverse and multicultural environment, offering an excellent variety and choice of courses that caters to everyone. As a mature student, starting the BA (Hons) Sociology course was incredibly daunting, particularly as I was the only one in my cohort. However, the anxiety quickly disappeared. Every student and member of staff has been genuinely friendly, treating me with absolute respect and inclusivity. My Sociology tutors deserve special praise, they have all been helpful, supportive, and truly invested in my success. Beyond the academic experience, the facilities here are fantastic. The buildings are modern, bright, and create an excellent learning atmosphere. I've also been impressed by the great dining options, which are good quality and reasonably priced. Crucially, the large, modern library is a hub of learning, with a truly fantastic selection of books and resources perfectly relevant to my course and many others. The support networks on campus are second to none. The Students' Union offers incredible assistance and acts as a link to every service imaginable, while the Student Wellbeing team is always on hand, doing their utmost to help when needed. Finally, the city of Lincoln itself is a joy. It’s a lovely, old city, full of character and offering plenty of opportunities for entertainment and relaxation. Honestly, the only minor drawback for me has been my daily commute, but given the quality of the education, the support, and the overall environment, it has absolutely been 100% worth the effort. I would recommend this university to anyone looking for a rich and supportive higher education journey.
Great facilities and resources Teaching sometimes feel unengaged
Student support sessions could be more frequent for first years to check how students are settling into their course.
Best is the support and facilities within the uni, worst is the student life as certain weeks can be incredibly busy on campus to the point of venues being overwhelmed and lack of awareness when queuing of people in the crowd and their actions
The location of the uni is the best, it is close to everything you need and easy to navigate. I think the library is great quality and the facilities are really good around the campus. There's only minor problems with things such as lecture theatres with no charging plug points for laptops when pretty much everyone uses laptops. I do feel that in my first two years I struggled to get support, lecturers and staff were not easy to get in contact with and a lot of the time I didn't get any emails back at all. I also though that some modules weren't taught in the best way and a lot of students struggled with them, leading to worse outcomes in grades. I do think this has improved so far in third year though, I do feel I have been supported well so far this year. My course is quite difficult to measure student life with because I do feel that with academic work, uni work, everything else that goes off in people's lives and trying to balance it with time to focus on yourself or just relax or do something you enjoy. You just don't get that time, but I can see that the team at uni have tried to work on that, because last year was not great.
I love the location of the university and how it is situated within the city. I dislike the students union due to there lack of ability to make worthy changes.
Campus is great, very few things are more than a 15 minute walk from anywhere. Lecturers mostly all enthusiastic and happy to help out. Biggest downfall is the student union pricing, it’s cheaper for students to drink elsewhere, even the student deals are more expensive which is a big drawback for most. On a more petty personal note, £2 for a single game of pool at towers/ the swan is ridiculous. Actual university wise, all is sound
My experience really nice. Really appreciate staff and teachers.
Great Student Life in a great city
I’ve only studied here for a couple of weeks however I can say this is a pretty decent uni especially for there lower grade acceptance rates. If you live close to Lincoln I recommend commuting as it would be cheaper than staying in halls. The teachers are really nice and are very open minded to every type of art. However to improve I think that they should tell us and show us what they actually want us to make in this year and examples from previous years in one sitting.
Great facilities, in a small campus in the middle of the city so everything is accessible by walking a short distance. Students union are active and always working to improve.
I feel like some things get overlooked, despite being reported. However, I feel like at least my tutors are great. I also find that the location is stunning and the amount of opportunities is great.
The facilities are great for practicing and most of the teachers are always there to help you. The placement experience is great and there are a lot of different teams for you to learn from around Lincolnshire. The course was changed during my second year which made everything feel unorganised and some modules were poorly delivered due to it being the first time it was taught, however I have faith as the university really values student feedback and makes changes for the better regarding this.
So many welcoming and creative societies to join Personal tutor provided for support Lots of support available from the uni and SU Campus is modern, walkable and attractive Lots of green spaces and nature friendly initiatives Lots of opportunities to meet new people and socialise
It’s a great uni. The location is great
the best aspects are the student support. the dedicated wellbeing centre and on campus gp are so helpful and considerate. the worst aspects are the nights out/clubs. one of the really popular clubs was shut down last year and the student night has been taken over by the sports societies
4.5
My course is so supportive and really determined to help us succeed. It really makes all the difference! Coming in as an international student from Canada, the transition has been a lot to deal with. But the support I’ve received from my uni has been fantastic.
The musical theatre course is such a hidden gem! Such good quality lessons with professors who care deeply about giving you the best experience. I feel like I have the opportunity to learn and do a lot. You are working on a show from your first semester, and there are so many amazing opportunities in the different classes you can take.
