Fantastic campus and facilities. Smaller variety of nightlife compared to big cities, however Sugarhouse is always a good night filled with students.
Lancaster was amazing for all of the above. After a year out, I want to return for an MSc.
Internet is patchy across campus, the facilities are generally very good with plenty of bars and shops in case you need something last minute. Union is awful and the scope of the societies is very limited.
Cannot really fault the university if you're into campus unis. The one thing to keep in mind is that its not the largest campus and everything is close together. Take that as you will.
University needs more communication within itself.
Lancaster University is a fantastic place to live and learn. Off city campus makes it a much nicer area to study and breath. One of the only downsides is the continuous development of the spine, the main walkway up and down campus. However, this shouldn't affect new students as it should be completed. Additionally, the Students Union offers some good services, but I have some misgivings due to its red status for free speech. However, societies still continue to function as normal.
Clean campus, nice atmosphere. We have ducks as well.
I'm not sure what else you could want from a uni it's fab
Wifi is good. It's even at sugarhouse!! Clubs are fun
Great uni, the best and I've always wanted to come!
Good overall, not too much guidance in terms of careers afterwards, and employability courses mostly repeat what has been taught at school/college.
Amazing place to study, facilities are amazing, making learning easier
Very nice community feel on campus and each college has its own bar which is interesting. However there are almost no other entertainment faculties except bars, which is a huge shame.
Had an outstanding time so far, but some of the secondary facilities are so poor
Great facilities, great campus
Good choice of activities from societies, good student unions bar/club. Always trying to improve the uni which is good to see. Wifi coverage is fairly good, although I seem to get logged out quite often.
Lancaster University is a great university with so many opportunities, it is rather large in size but with individual colleges, students are able to feel like they're welcomed as part of a smaller community as well.
Uni is better than I expected. Everything you can imagine is here, campus is stunning and the range of cultures and societies is amazing.
Wifi coverage needs improvement as it is too easy to disconnect but following the 2nd term update the speed has become better
College system makes the mixing process much easier when first arriving
LUSU are underfunded and under supported by the uni, comon team
One of the best experiences compared to my friends, very friends but also likes to party!
Love my experience at Lancaster so far. They have a society for everyone and are very helpful in every aspect of uni life
Tight-nit community, with something for everyone
I couldn't love Lancaster more!
Good uni but poor wifi and LUSU are annoying.
Careers are awful.. told me to search on the internet. LOVE the campus feel and the american style college system, meet lots of students doing other subjects and in other year groups
The experience at Lancaster is always friendly and polite, with people always happy to help. I love the accommodation on campus because it is so worth the money and always in good shape.
Was sound like, any average lad can pull and the staff are alright I suppose
Been a fantastic uni for the last year- plenty of things to do on campus and lots of very active societies/clubs to join.
Fantastic university with a real sense of community. One exceptional feature is the university's collegiate system, whereby you live in different colleges. This creates a true sense of identity and makes socialising much easier.
Lovely campus, great facilities. I have no problems with the internet even though some people do. Students union is a bit boring and it's hard to get included in societies.
Great uni, campus looks good and the uni is well located. Wifi should be better though. Also the student union doesn't seem to have much of an effect on me.
Great university in a good location, with wonderful views.
I love Lancaster university. The course is great and the accommodation is amazing!
Didn't expect it to be this good! No Distractions over here in terms of studying. Variety of clubs and societies for you to try out!
Those that are not living on central campus, have to walk quite a bit. The largest issue is that there is no fully covered area to get from the spine to acoomodation on South West Campus.
Campus is so nice, the town is more enjoyable than I thought it would be although its not really that great for the club scene, Internet and Wifi have never let me down, a great place to study
I love this university because it's far away enough from home that I get my own independence yet close enough to get home
The campus has everything you need to live. There are also amazing sports facilities
I honestly cannot fault this uni in any way!!
Unforgettable experience. Amazing facilities, an award winning career dedicated careers service, opportunities to get involved in different stuff depending on interests
Great atmosphere, friendly place, good work environment and nice surroundings. What more could you ask from your university?
Awesome campus, great facilities, anything a student would want
County townhouses are without a doubt the best accommodation out there! Living with 12 people is such a great life experience.
Great facilities both on and off campus. New library is brilliant.
Lovely campus uni with halls of residence second to none, easily accessible in a great location
Internet widely available but mobile often loses connection
Loved my time at Lancaster, great people, great place, brilliant facilities. Only thing that bothers me is my distance from home (about 5 hours away)...
Students union is a joke. sports funding and other stuff they suck at. Nice amount of facilities on campus though, especially the newly opened "study zone", Sports centre and more. freshers fair was awesome, glad to see so many sports and societies full of people with interest in them
Really great uni, by far the best choice I've made
I want some more shops and restaurants
Love Lancaster everyone's nice
I really like the campus, you library card also gives you access to study rooms and buildings almost all hours of the week which is really helpful if you don't want to study in your room or the library. I haven't needed to use the careers service just yet but I know they are there if I need them
One of the best universities in the world
Lots of campus shops, places to eat and 9 bars.
History and Politics student. The university is really awesome, great campus- very green, great facilities.
I didn't expect my uni experience to be as great as it has been so far! I can't explain just how good the teaching is here and I think it's a huge privilege that Lancaster has teaching staff that are so determined to help you do well.
So many unique opportunities, snazzy library and sports centre, gorgeous campus views, lots of employment fairs and opportunities, great variety of societies, iLancaster app is so helpful
perfect perfectperfectperfectperfect
Amazing university with a fantastic campus feel - coupled with brilliant careers prospects
Interesting international students scene, maybe lacks the attractions big cities can offer. At the same time the small size of the place means almost no criminality and an environment where it's very easy to make friends.
I had an amazing time here. I was given amazing opportunities and I was taught by very intelligent people.
Having fun during my first year!
Lancaster University is a university where the feeling of pride is almist poignant! The micro - community that the university id made up of provides a forum for success in both the academic and social side of life. Many thanks!
Would recommend it to everyone, top university
Amazing Univerisity with so much going on, never short of something to do. The campus means you are close to everybody you've met and could easily never leave with the amount there is here. Well never leave except to go to sugar that is...
I pity people who didn't choose Lancaster
Lovely campus with anything you could need there, you barely have to even leave to go into town! Great facilities already with a lot of development going on to make the future even better
Amazing campus and friendly atmosphere all round. Clubs and societies are run very well. Internet is amazing, who can complain about 200mbps+ ?
great university if you like a peaceful, quite place
Amazing campus university that has close links to the historic town.
Great Uni, lot of fun with great teaching, just the Union are rubbish
Lancaster University is such an inviting, friendly institute with room to raise opinions & gain support from the union as well as from societies & the colleges within the university.
Overall good atmosphere and variety of activities
Lovely university if you don't want to be in a big city. If you want crazy nightlife than Lancaster isn't for you! However it's a beautiful campus with great facilities and accommodation.
great uni, great location, really nice campus, great societies, really nice people all over campus, nice atmosphere, great resources and teaching, great prospects and good ranking in league tables.
Excellent campus, with everything you'd want available
The students union is a bit s***, they tend to be really unbalanced towards the different societies an are themselves useless at coming up with good ideas. Aside from that everything is top quality. I'm pretty sure the internet speed is the fastest internet I have ever used!
Thoroughly enjoyed my first year at Lancaster Uni, I've made great friends and I've really enjoyed my course. Being able to chooser a minor subject for first year was interesting as you got to learn about another subject you are interested in.
Seriosuly awesome uni- I don't have any real complaints
i absolutely cannot fault my experience
Everything is really great, lots of opportunities and student support
Campus is absolutely beautiful and has everything you could want! There are societies to cater for everybody and LUSU are very useful most of the time. One of the best universities for getting a job after graduating, and the wifi is very accessible all over campus.
Brilliant university!! Collegiate system Lancaster makes everyone feel inclusive and apart of something from day one. Great variety of socities. And there's always some place to go in a night out on or off campus! I'm so happy I choice to go to Lancaster.
Great university although a little out of the way, I would not go to any other uni!
Lovely campus, great staff and lecturers.
100% the best decision I've ever made. Studying literature and linguistics: the three subject concept in first year (for most) can be daunting but allows freedom and if you decide you hate your course you still have options. The campus is beautiful and the accommodation is all fab (even pendle is great). The city is a short bus away and small but has everything you need if you're not looking for the party life people expect in places like Newcastle and Liverpool. Highly recommend a visit day to get a feel for the community and campus. The collegiate system is also such a massive bonus because the support is impeccable if you want it.
Vice chair of the womens hockey club, had the most brilliant time. Roses is a really special event!!
100% the right university for me! The campus is amazing, it has everything you could possibly ever need or want, the range of food and drink options is great including a subway and 9 college bars and we even have an ice cream parlour! The sports centre is reasonably priced and very modern. The college system is great, I really feel part of a community and have met some friends for life! Honestly don't have a single negative to say!
Lancaster has been an incredible place to study. I have made so many new friends and the style of halls and the campus really help that, especially with such easy access to all of the facilities used by societies. Everything about my time so far has been great and I look forward to more time in Lancaster!
Great place to go friendly people with East to talk to lectures
Couldn't imagine being anywhere else
I had such a great year here and settled in so well. I made amazing friends, love the course and everything is so fun at uni!
Campus is isolated and loud, Constant building work and maintenance, even during end of year "Quiet period". Half the campus smokes pot in public and the porters do nothing about it. Nothing to do but go out drinking. All societies are cliquey and never offer none-drinking activities. Absolutely miserable place, miserable experience, do not attend.
Living on campus is like living in jail. The campus just have two stores and the cost for public transport for town has rised up to 1.70 pounds for a single way ticket.
Couldnt ask for more in a university!
I am not a clubbing type, but even so new clubs would be nice. Everything else is as good as it gets pretty much
Perfect campus size, great location and a friendly atmosphere.
The collegiate system coupled with the campus based university means you are completely immersed in university life and gives you a university experience unlike that of most other places. The main downside with the university has nothing to do with the actual establishment but with the location. The town is small which means for shopping you do have to get a train and nights out can get repetitive. Originally, crap nights out was my biggest fear when I started but to be honest, having a small city with fewer clubs does have its benefits. With fewer clubs, students tend to congregate in the same places each night. That means that anyone who is social and goes out fairly regularly will soon get to know the familiar faces and before long nights out involve bumping into loads of people you already know. There are also a ridiculously large number of societies available and creating a new society is easy which makes it almost impossible not to meet like minded individuals.
