So far, as a first year it's been quite the experience!, I'm thankful for the support avaliable and the friendly environment that surrounds the university
Good experience, good university
Very good would recommend it strongly
Standard uni could have some improvements
ok, the city the university is based in is pretty rough and a significant number of my lecturers have been terrible.
I love this accommodation! Nathan and Sophie are super friendly and it’s been much better since they started. I love all the things the accommodation hosts and my room is really spacious! It’s great value for money. The building is also always clean which I really appreciate and things always get fixed very quickly!
Nice place for the internet honestly lol
The place has a wide range of options for clubs
University provides a good course and support

Amazing uni experience Great support Lovely people
UCLAN is great, there’s plenty of clubs and societies for everyone, the lecturers are supportive and kind. It’s a very wholesome university

Quite happy with the help provided.
Good experience with a focus on teaching actual industry skills.
Overall amazing university, could not recommend enough
The university has a clean student friendly society and the facilities they have are good when they need using
A good university but lacking in a lot of areas.
A very underrated university with many special features
In general it’s good enough, but tgere are some frustrating aspects
Dedicated lecturers that care about their students, campus that is being constantly improved and a good range of courses. Not being a Russel group uni takes the pressure off the study and I've found it to be overall an enriching and beneficial experience with lots of extra curricular activities popping up in my department.
Good location, easily accessible
A really good one .....feasible for everything....
Interesting lectures and good support system with the personal tutors
Over the three years I have been hear, I am glad to say that the teachers listen to the students about any worries we have. It is an anomaly for me when it comes to teachers from previous education.
Very good and well equipped university for learning
I’m really enjoying Uni life on campus, everyone is friendly and helpful and I enjoy the course. There is a gym on campus and it’s amazing. I’ve joined a society and they have events on too which I’ll be attending in the future. So far so good.
Nice people, helpful support and great wifi.
It's overall a great experience to be honest.
Great location, great accommodation
Accommodation is close to the city centre and the university. Staff is very friendly and always happy to help
Decent university with plenty of opportunities
I would rate my overall experience 6/10
Studying at Uclan is good formme
All is great, except the WiFi needs some improvements !
So good to choose this accommodation, it’s so close to the university
The campus is really nice & easy to navigate and the staff are super accommodating and supportive
Good university, very friendly staff, placement opportunities but not much about graduate jobs/internships,
Felt like a home... Feeling bad to leave this
Campus facilities (such as gyms & libraries) were great and kept to a high standard of cleanliness. Regular updates about careers events/opportunities were helpful. However the on-campus Wi-Fi often didn't work properly, or only worked for some websites/apps.
University is good, everything is all close together and very easy to find, and it also close to the town centee
The university is good, however it could be more accommodating to disabilities with it's courses.
UCLan is a good university and the free sports membership they provide is a great bonus.
Glad to study and work here as a Student Ambassador
Not the best for support in all areas but good enough
Best university experience so far .good lectures
I applied here through clearing, as before I wasn’t sure whether or not I thought university was right for me. But I’m so glad I chose to apply. I’ve had an amazing time at Uclan. All of the staff are welcoming and if there are any issues they are solved efficiently. My experience has been more than I could have ever hoped for and I can’t wait to progress onto year two.
Lovely new buildings within the university however the student union is not promoted or used enough, many new students do not use it or even know where it is
