It is an amazing place with such a great atmosphere. There are so many facilities to get something to eat or drink. The student support is never ending there are so many options.
Great facilities Great food and drink Amazing library Grounds are beautiful Staff are very supportive
Everyone at the uni is welcoming and freindly and with it being a small uni you feel you can get to know the place very well and you get a lot of support. The facilities are really nice and the cake from the curiositea cafe is the best. Overall very positive and nothing I'd like to be improved about it.
lecturers are so lovely, beautiful campus, small lecture sizes so you get to know everyone. small uni so union is small, maybe more collaborations with university of lincoln

It’s a small campus so very friendly and everyone says hi when walking about. I am a mature student and was very anxious about being with young adults and them looking at me weirdly, however the University has a good range of mature and younger students and there is no feeling like that - it is more of we are all there to learn so there is a mutual respect for everyone. Student support has been amazing and has helped me tremendously, that has been in the form of tutors and student advice who were also able to provide further assistance with any problems or issues.
i’ll start with what could be improved, my only complaint is with regards to location, because it’s not in the prime of lincoln like the university of lincoln, it’s not very modern with regards to what it offers for students who are on campus on all day, such as food and drink. It is the only downside as the cafes on site are quite pricey. Everything else is perfect. The best part of the uni is how supportive it is. I’ve been extremely lucky and have an amazing tutor as well as teachers. My class is small so everyone is close and we are all comfortable with eachother, hence why we love it. My appreciation is mainly for the supportive staff though, there’s always someone who can help.

My lecturers are all amazing. Especially going into second year all of my modules are super interesting tol
The staff are extremely supportive, not just with studies, but with any issues we may have.
Staff know the students and its more than just a passing knowledge. SU has lots of events but it’s quite small. Campus is easy to navigate.
The university is small so there is a family feel to it, you get to know people around you and others really well. Unfortunately because the university is so small there isn't as much to offer in terms of facility's and society's.
Very supportive university and lovely campus. The course tutors are really helpful
Great lecturers
I like it
For a social aspect, is is very inclusive with a great team of staff and student leaders. To study here, there are so many resources that aid with study, and CELT are very helpful when it comes to assignment support that helps me feel comfortable when working. There is nothing I think needs to be improved.
Best - although a small uni still has a very social feel to it considering societies and studies Worst - most likely location, up and down steep hill can be a struggle!
more support for international students and their documents.


Because of the size people get to know who you are and lecturers know you by name and are very friendly. The university is a bit far from town however the walk there is lovely.
Early Childhood Studies is a very interesting course which is helped by the lecturers knowledge and interest in this aswell as lectures being lots of fun.
The rooms were pretty big for student halls which gave you lots of space as well as lots of storage. Everything you needed was in the kitchen with lots of space and a television. The accommodation had big windows which let in lots of natural light. The accommodation was also on campus which made it easy to access the university.
