I really enjoyed meeting new people and trying new things. The societies are a lot of fun and there are lots of choices. I also think my course was structured well and well run. I found it very kntersting. The negatives were sometimes I found it quite hard living in Lancaster in the winter since it is so cold and there isn’t much to do
The university gym isn’t great and is very busy however other facilities are very good
The best aspects are the people I’ve met, and the worst is probably the gym as it’s always packed.
Best is the campus
The best aspect is the social life and collegiate system as the collegiate system has allowed me to make some of my best friends and the activities put on by LUSU regarding the colleges and the exec team have made the college feel like home. It is a beautiful place to study and the campus is always extremely clean and is easy to get around and find your way around. Also, transport from the University is excellent. The only issues I have had with the Uni so far are that a lot of activities such as sports overlap and it is hard to focus on more than one activity and also that there is a lack of correspondence between students and lecturers and sometimes the recordings take a while to show up on Moodle which can be annoying during the end of term when I am already busy with deadlines and don't want to be waiting for a recording.
Best things is location and structure of the campus with everything needed there, but also many financial and emotional support possibilities, such as success program for mature students. Timetables could be more consistent.
A great university overall
Absolutely awful place. Unbelievably corrupt management. One man in particular. Gavin Hyman. Is a rude, incompetent, awful lecturer. Avoid him like the plague, I beg of you all
Great tutors and community
Very cool university. Good to attend
Good uni
I was kicked out because I had health problems. The uni is great unless you develop a new medical issue while you are there.
great
Lancaster is a great place to study for a variety of reasons: The city is small and walkable, making spending time there really fun, especially as it's a short bus or cycle ride from campus and there are plenty of seasonal events. As a campus university, it's easy to be friendly as you see familiar faces all the time. The world's small in the best possible way! The library is also expceptional, allowing you access to 99% of the texts you'll ever want or need through the digital service with plenty of physical media available as well. A great place to work and relax that's open 24/7 during the university's open seasons. The support available is fantastic, but there are some issues whereby if the more open events conflict with your timetable figuring out how to approach the services can be a bit daunting. Additionally, while the SU does represent the students and provide great services, it has been slow on taking stances on important issues in the past. There is the issue of a member staff who publically make transphobic comments remaining employed by the psychology department without repremand. The careers department and some reasearch initiatives also work with highly immoral companies who actively contribute to the genocide in Gaza and are deliberately ignorant.
Best -campus- lots or great stuff -course- good and interesting -town- lots of supermarkets/shops -feel welcomed Worst -certain aspects take a while to get back to you -more events that don’t involve bar crawl -bus costs 4 return(but the uni can’t help with that) -my accommodation isn’t great Overall, l love the uni! Amazing campus, great course and facilities. BUT, my accommodation wasn’t up to standard and lack of actual good activities for sober people in my opinion.
The campus is absolutely beautiful and there are so many great places to study or socialise. The location of the university is slightly inconvenient as it can take a while to get into the city centre at times but there are lots of buses available.
4.2
The students are very friendly and supportive. The learning environment is productive and clean with people everywhere to support me. More examinations and classroom-style learning could help.
The course is very informative with lots of content about human anatomy and how different processes link together. Again, more content delivered in classroom style sessions could be useful to learn more productively.
The halls are kept clean and organised with students helping out. However, fridge spaces are tight and bins overflow regularly. However, good none the less.
