I visited St Leonard's House during the pandemic. The whole St. Leonard's team was super polite, nice and accommodating. They took care of each and every tenant. Also, special health measures were arranged to protect us from Covid-19. I felt safe and understood at all times. Furthermore, Nicky and Bonnie have been extremely helpful and I am very grateful. I can only recommend the St. Leonards to others.

Some things about the uni are great like the gym and accommodation. Careers team is great. The nightlife is awfully dead , societies are poorly funded and managed by the SU. The collage system is only really relevant if you play sports, for most people the collage system doesnt really do anything. Saying all that very international but if your looking for a good uni experience do not come here, very dull overall.

This uni ticks the boxes as well as any; good lecturing, good social life. Campus can feel like a bubble, students union can be overworked, scale of the uni makes things move slowly, but still a good place to spend 3-4 years.

I had such a lovely time at Lancaster. The students and staff were very nice and down to earth. I made very good friends there. The campus is fantastic, loads of space and so fun to explore, with good food and drink but also great study areas. The library is really lovely and convenient too. My course was well organised and interesting (physics) and support from lecturers is really good. My favourite thing about Lancaster is the proximity to the Lake District and I spent many happy weekends there with my friends, hiking, swimming and messing around. There are lots of nice areas round Lancaster too (forest of bowland, Lancaster canal, crook o' the lune, glasson dock. I liked Morecambe too! If you have a bike then it's really nice to explore. Living on campus is great, very convenient, comfortable, not too expensive and easy to make friends. The free bus to and from the SU nightclub is excellent if you are a cheapskate like me. There is a decent gym at the sports centre.

Lancaster is absolutely tiny of a town with only 3 clubs and they’re all terrible Buses to town are outrageously expensive Campus shops are complete rip offs STUDENT UNION is absolutely s***, does nothing for us and charges you the have to pay 15 quid for the student discount “purple card” which just should be done with a library card for free.

Great campus and clearly the facilities have had investment but more prevalent issues are being ignored in favour of impressive facilities. E.g. a sports team culture that promotes bullying and cliques and certain academic departments that manage student workloads poorly in comparison to other similarly universities.

Lancaster University's "student well being services" gave me complex trauma that I still require therapy to even make sense of what happened to me. they are stopping renewing contracts for any non academic staff meaning a large increase in unemployed people in Lancaster is coming and all because they spent so much money on building work they can't afford to keep paying staff. If you ever have any legal based issue with the inner workings as a student better rush to a solicitor quick because you have less than 6 months to file a report or that sexual assault that happened? nah that's not real you are just delusional and experience flash backs to things that weren't even real. thanks Lancaster university you destroyed my mental health to the point where I am not fit for work.

Lancaster uni was incredibly unsupportive. 2 years of my time there the entire campus was under renovation which is still not complete, so every day we got to listen to the builders banging throughout the lectures. Lecturers often didn't turn up, seminars were badly led and no discussion was had, they were often silent and uncomfortable. Library space was like gold dust, parking spaces non existent, my Lancaster experience was awful.

So in my last year of uni i was really struggling. I went to a careers appointment and they basically said to go and look on some websites. I also had a referal appointment with the mental health services and they said i was quite high risk and would refer me to counselling and nothing ever happened, it felt a bit like they just told me to go on some anti depressants and go away

- Beautiful campus - nice green spaces - great linguistics department - terrible admin team, messed up my files every year - terrible system, don’t really care about the individual, despite being one of the smaller unis - small community - not many opportunities - great library - Worst student union - no student union building - town sucks - no clubs or life outside campus - really non diverse - difficult for POCs since lack of diversity

The recent plans to sell Sugarhouse, the only student nightclub is honestly disgusting from the union and a complete disregard for both students welfare and interests which is why I've given that a 1 star. Lancaster University however is an incredible uni and if Sugarhouse stays open I would 100% recommend it to all potential students.

A brilliant university that truly deserves its high ranking place in the UK university leagues. It’s campus is spectacular, full of everything needed and great transport links to the close city of Lancaster. Lancaster itself has further and easy links to further afield which is a great day out as a student - the Lakes, Blackpool, Edinburgh etc..

The campus feel of the uni is brilliant and I enjoy my lectures. However the social side of the uni is poor. And with the unions decision to sell the Sugarhouse it's the final nail in the coffin for the university. Without Sugarhouse, the social side of the university is almost none existent. It's hard finding things to do when living in town.

Praise the lord this is one of the few universities with a collegiate system; the student union is virtually nonexistent, popping up occasionally with awful out of touch decisions. The strongest point on of the union is the nightclub they operate for uni students only, allowing for a safe place for fun and wacky costumes. Sadly, they have made the decision to sell the best night out in Lancaster (not a high bar but still) without consulting students properly or providing an alternative. The colleges are a wonderful aspect providing a sense of a close knit community in the first year, providing fun and services for important issues such as mental health. The biggest event of uni life are extravs, with each of the colleges student run teams creating different themes and competing to have the best end of year party. Most provide a brilliant or decent party, except Cartmel who like in every other aspect come last.

They only care about how they look outside, to be honest. They don't even know how to tackle racism, Shows you the state of the place, Also the career service clearly has no proper plan on helping you to get a job because they only follow a particular sheet that they are instructed to follow.

Beautiful place. Probably not the place to go if you're someone dependent on counselling or think you'll need it. There's many experiences you could have with their mental health services but all I've been involved in and witnessed have been disrespectful and dismissive. Please consider this, it's a very isolated campus.

Lusu are useless and need to do things that help students and are not superficial. There is very little done that has an impact that can be felt. The inadequecies of the student union body far outstrip the postive works

Campus experience was great, Wi-fi went down constantly and was overtrafficked, the SU is notoriously poor and failed to deliver on a regular basis. In three years they didn’t successfully sell tickets without a server failure (no exaggeration). Clubs and societies are excellent but one had recent scandal for racist and homophobic messages on shirts.

It’s a really friendly university and the students are mostly lovely. The campus is very safe and well-lit at night. The nightlife isn’t great, but there is enough around town to have a good night. The careers service is incredible and you can use it even after you graduate. The only issue I’ve had personally is with certain lecturers who are unfair, but this obviously isn’t across the board.

Whilst the university has promise, constant building work along the main throughfare has been disruptive and an SU which refuses to properly combine with the collegiate system, work alongside it or replace/be replaced by it means that the student's needs are ignored by the SU in favour of flashy publicity moves. Many smaller interest societies are ignored by the SU and there is no reliable access to them. The university is excellent but the Union is pointless.

Very unhelpful staff across the board throughout the year. Lusu are unhelpful, counterproductive and very stubborn. In general the uni and student union only care about the rankings from the times and the money they make from students and campus businesses that charge insane prices for everything

I’ve mostly enjoyed my first year, living on campus was ok and the accommodation was very good but found it quite noisy which impacted my sleep. I’m not impressed with the student union who shut down the uni radio for absolutely no reason, used the excuse of not being able to afford it and turned down the radios offer to become volunteer run. They take more students than they should so teaching hours are late and lots of people I know have exams of Saturdays.

Really good careers service and system in place to benefit your future, campus is easily negotiable, plenty of societies and clubs, college system means anybody can be in a football or netball team without being uni quality, Students Union communication is quite weak but services are still very beneficial when you need them.

I love the uni amazing campus. The student union though is not the best when comparing to other unis. And clubbing has been not great too. There’s not enough options for people there’s only the occasional event that will be good. I feel like there should be more things to do. But I feel like Lancaster are working on this as slowly the city town is getting more and more new restaurants.

Love being at Lancaster, friendly atmosphere and always feel safe in the uni and in the town. Only bad thing is that it can take 30 mins by bus to get into town but if you’re living on campus that doesn’t really matter as you have everything you need there.

Compared to other universities that I have visited of friends studying there it is actually pretty good regarding its facilities as well as the help provided in the careers department. The university itself ,by personal experience ,doesn’t punish you for getting ill on a day of a test (rearrangements and such if you provide justification) and thoroughly helps us students in time of need
