If you are planning on doing post-graduate studies at Lancaster, think again. It is mostly focused on undergraduate and there are basically no opportunities for post-graduate, unless you are in Management School. Also, avoid living on campus, it is quite overpriced for a prison-like environment (that is graduate college of course). For the same money, you will find a whole flat in town, without the many restrictions that come with living on campus.

Lancaster uUniversity is a very nice place to study and to socialize, personally I believe that all the student at Lancaster gain a lot more not just education wise but they also learn how to face the real world after their degrees and that's one of the reasons why I chose lancaster as my firm option.

I could simply not imagine myself anywhere else. Lancaster is an incredible uni that I would recommend to anyone. Be warned though, if you're looking to go clubbing every night Lancaster is not a city uni, we have clubs, and we have amazing nights out, but we're no Liverpool / Manchester night-life wise.

Such a good community feel and the uni have so many events for students, even after the year has ended. They also do so much in the local community and not to mention how excellent the teaching and research standard are.

Wifi is pretty good when it actually works but you have a guaranteed connection to wired internet which is great. You should always be able to do your work, just not necessarily on your bed.

Very friendly, close knit community. The campus is like a little village of it's own, and the fact that it is out on its own, away from town, gives it a more relaxing, peaceful feeling.

Lancaster university is the one of the nicest places to be. There is a lot to do on campus and many societies to get involved with in. The only issue is the shopping variety in the city centre. However, food shopping is easy whilst living on campus as there are several shops and you can shop online easily.
