So far I am really impressed with what Lancaster university has to offer me, from the great friendly people to the lovley countryside atmosphere which is great for someone like myself who loves walking and cycling. For me the nighlife is awesome, love the bars.
Good community feel but need cheaper buses and more funding for socities, I am really happy I came to Lancaster University as the people are really nice, there is a lovley atmosphere and the facilities on campus are great. I would certainly reccomend to others to come to this uni.
Life in Lancaster is really boring. Most shops closed before 7 o’clock in the evening and there is less recreational facilities. If we want to buy clothes or something, we have to take train to Preston or Manchester. The life style in here is not suit for me, I don’t like stay in the university whole day.
I like the Chinese restaurant on campus, when I miss my home I always go to the restaurant and buy something to eat. However, dishes and foods in that restaurant seems not very fresh, so I hope they can improve the level of restaurant and cook some clean and tasty food.
I am very impressed with what Lancaster has to offer, I am extreamly pleased that I came here and particularly like the sporting facilities available. The campus facilities are also great, with many different places to eat and socalise, as well as the different college bars.
What I like the most about Lancaster is that it is campus based, so students in first year can live on campus and get to know the bearings of the place a lot quicker. I also think the nightlife and city are great, although I think there needs to be a few more clubs.
I am really happy with everything at Lancaster except for the funding and Scholarships offered, I feel the boundaries for getting funding is far too high and unrealistic and therefore don't see the point in them as for most people it is impossible to achieve very high.
On the whole I am happy with what Lancaster University has to offer me, although I feel the funding and selections processes need to be stronger. I feel the boundaries set for funding are far too high and should be more realistic to ensure people gain a reward they deserve for working hard.
It is very good here, the conversion rate for the IB is'nt realistic in comparison to A-levels therefore its much harder to get a scholarship. This is the same at most universities though. Overall, I am enjoying my time at Lancaster and the campus is really pretty and the people are nice.
At Lancaster, the environment is very relaxing with the general attitude being friendly and helpful. I'm very comfortable here and I feel confident in the quality of education I am getting.
I like Lancaster university accommodation because it is modern, however, i can’t live on campus next year, as an international student, it is not convenience for me. I hope school can have more healthier restaurant rather than fast food restaurant. Furthermore, I hope school can have more shops when considering the distance from city center.
Lancaster University is a very good university , I like this place. However, the weather in here is not good. It always has rain and strong wind, let me feel very cold. Accommodation only offer heater service before 11:00 p.m. If it’s possible I want to university can provide heater service 24 hours/ 7 days.
I am having an awesome time at university and like living in Lancaster, my study experience has been mostly good and the city is good but small. I would recommend it to anyone looking to come to university in the north of England.
Coming to Lancaster from the US has made me realise that there are both negative and positives. I am most impressed with the students union at the university and least impressed with the city life, I am glad I came to Lancaster as I have met some amazing people.
I recomment this university as even though Lancaster town does not seem to have much to offer for a student life, its campus and activities are great. It is set in a beautiful location with great walks and places to cycle, for me overal I am happy I chose to come here.
Lancaster university has so much to offer from great accomidation to a good nightlife as well as great facilities 0 such as plenty of places to eat and drink. For me the best part of Lancaster is the unique college system as I find it easier to meet people.
I like the university facilities the most about being at Lancaster university which is great, I like the socials, the restaurants, places to drink, however the town in my view is boring with little to do and slightly concerns me as I will be living in town next year.
Love my experience here. There could be positive changes for efficency and clarity within my course in terms of social aspects. But in terms of the university, it is great and I am glad to have been offered a place here in order to graduate.
