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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Just completed first year at Lancaster. Campus is only small, but fantastic in that there are range of shops, places to eat and bars for all needs, and the sport centre's pretty great as well. To my knowledge, there weren't that many societies compared to other universities (apart from the obvious sports ones). Student Union is alright, bit exploitative. A lot of career opportunities available, from how the staff at the university itself actually help you in getting a job (placements, internships etc) as well as how they advertise for jobs on campus and around the uni too. Internet/wifi is decent (Eduroam). Every so often in turns off unexpectedly for about 20 seconds which can get a bit annoying, but when it's on it is strong and download/upload speeds are great.

Had an amazing experience during my first year at Lancaster! Many societies to choose from and opportunities to start your own. Also, the wifi is of a high standard and connection is consistent around campus

Everyone is welcoming as a whole community and the college experience is a unique one, but definitely very sociable and has something for everyone when it comes to organising events, socials and support.

I'm a first year and I must say, Lancaster University is better than I hoped for. Accommodation, how gregarious the members of stuff are and the true British culture and how relaxed it is when compared to London.

I have just completed my first year at Lancaster Uni and I have to say it has completely surpassed my expectations. I absolutely love the collegiate system (Lonnie Lonnie!) and I love the size of the campus as it's big enough that everyday you can meet someone new but it's small enough that you anywhere you go you are bound to meet someone you already know. Everyone is incredibly helpful and friendly both on campus and in town. Although the town is small compared to some of the bigger cities I much prefer being very familiar with the a few clubs and restaurants rather than trying some place new everyday but of course that is my personal view. I study Law and French and I love the focus on individual study as I much prefer to work at my own pace with less contact hours but that is mostly specific to law and again my own personal preference. I have made some of the best friends in my first year and I'm so excited for my second. I would highly recommend Lancaster!
