Sort:Latest reviewsMy experience at the University of Lincoln has been truly transformative. The university fosters an environment that encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and personal growth. The lecturers are highly supportive and bring real-world insights into every lesson, making learning both engaging and practical. Beyond academics, the vibrant campus community and diverse student body have allowed me to develop lifelong friendships and valuable global perspectives. I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunities and experiences Lincoln has provided—it’s a place that truly helps students unlock their potential.
I love the city as a whole and I feel like most courses are super interesting and exciting

The university itself is set in a central area so good for public transport however 0 parking and the surrounding areas are quite expensive to park. The university food areas and drinks areas are expensive and not student friendly budgeted. Accommodation is very expensive
I love living in Lincoln. All the accommodation is within a 15 minute walk from campus wherever you end up, and it’s the same for second and third years. The campus is pretty and homely, full of ducks and squirrels and situated on the brayford river. It’s also right across from the high street which is so helpful as sometimes between lectures me and my course friends will go and get a drink from Costa or Starbucks as a treat. Lincoln is quite small, which means that moving there wasn’t as intimidating as I expected. Although it is small and there isn’t a whole lot to see/do, there are many shops pubs and parks/walks to do which mean I still am discovering areas I never knew about. And seeing the cathedral and castle and finding the sunset spot are things I’ll never get tired of. The nightlife in Lincoln is good, even though there’s not a lot to choose from. There are clubs like circle and void, but the main clubbing nights are Superbull in Home on a Friday and Union on a Tuesday which are the student nights. The student union also runs Quack on a Wednesday which is themed nights so there’s lots of fancy dress and cheap drinks. Quack is where societies have their nights out. There isn’t a whole lot of societies to choose from at Lincoln, but there is one for everyone. I joined my academic society first year, and again this year as well as a sports society. I love how low commitment it is, and how I can just have fun learning a new spot with my friends I made last year as well as new friends this year.

The lecturers are all fantastic and very supportive. The content covered on the course is great. The campus is located in a great place with everything around in walking distance. The students union is fantastic they always have useful events on. Everyone knows where to go if they need support and there is plenty of support for essay writing and other academic work. The communication of the accommodation services really needs improving as they say things will happen and then it never does. When questioned on this they often don’t respond or don’t give a straight answer.

The university campus is great and engaging, teaching is supportive, and personally my course is great
Theres a good atmosphere on campus especially with all the little events that happen. I'd like to see more green spaces and places to sit with friends that aren't pubs.

Certain lectures not following the rule of the course, being unprepared and lacking the ability to teach as well as upload slides, recordings and assessment briefs

The beautiful campus of Lincoln university acts as an inspiring and motivational place to study. One of the worst parts of my uni experience so far is the feeling of homesickness and isolation within the first months of moving here. However, the support offered to all students wether they need extra guidance or not, is exceptional and creates comfort for students knowing they are not alone and there is many services which will be able to help them and meet their needs. This made my experience and transition to university alot smoother, and allowed me to thrive and experience some of my best times during freshers. Some of my best experiences was during freshers week, where i attended many events which were organised by the university which pushed me out of my comfort zone, have fun, make friends and get familiar with my new city.
Best part: The supportive lecturers and friendly campus environment at the University of Lincoln make studying enjoyable and motivating. Worst part: Honestly, there hasn’t been a worse part — my experience so far has been really positive.
It would be better if there were more activities to do for art students.
The university is really supportive in terms of academia and pastoral care. The content in lectures is really interesting and well delivered, and seminars are a safe space to learn things and contribute. The campus is really nice and in walking distance of the city.
it's great
Good location - everything is walkable Has lots of measures in place for accessibility
I like how everything is walkable and the student wellbeing has helped a lot. I think there should be more events at weekends for people that are busy on weekdays.
Great!!
There are so many opportunities here, great tutors, and it’s a great city. Right now I can’t think of anything that needs improvement but that could change.
Mm
