Couldn't recommend highly enough

I am proud to have been a part of the Lancaster university community. Not only is it academically incredible, but also the opportunities available socially are unmatched. I couldn't have asked for a better university experience!

Accounting, Year 3

(5)·By Arissa A·Accounting· Jul 2021
It was fun! There were so many freebies being given out, so many society tryouts to do, and so many themed parties to go too! Lancaster definitely took great care of us during fresher's I live in an en-suite and while it may be small, I personally love it being really quaint and nice to live within. The kitchen is shared and if you get decent flatmates, you're settled for the rest of the year Library's accessible for 24/7 and I like that since I'm personally a night owl! Classrooms are big and well-equipped with decent technology. The student union is pretty helpful too, always being our voices to fight for things that matter the most to us The course has been challenging but it's definitely better to break through such a challenge with the lecturers. They're intelligent, knowledgeable and definitely friendly and helpful enough to help the students. I really like the welcoming vibe of Lancaster's lecturers Lancaster is quite a quaint and small town, but it has everything you need to survive there. The people are friendly and there's a lot of places to eat within the town itself and very accessible from campus

Business Studies, Year 2

(5)·By Anais R·Business· Apr 2019
Freshers week was a lot of fun! I got to know my flatmates and met a lot of people. The academic activities were also very interesting and helped decrease my nervousness at starting classes at uni.

My accommodation is fairly new and modern. I have an ensuite which is really nice and share a kitchen with 7 other people. The room isn’t too small and I really like it.

The facilities are great as they are fairly new and modern. The library is an amazing place to study with lots of different areas to study. Classrooms are comfortable and some lecture theatres are really nice. The sport centre has a variety of facilities that can satisfy many different needs which is really nice. Bars on campus range widely but overall, they have a good atmosphere and are a great place to hang out.

I study business management but I have to take modules on a variety on topics that relate to business so I study economics, accounting, business analytics in addition to management and that’s what I think is good about my course. I am not only learning about my course but about other things that are relevant and will be very useful to me in the future.

The city is really small but there are still a few things to do. There are a few major shopping brands and some good shops. It is a rather quiet place and even though it isn’t too big, it is not too hard to find something fun and interesting to do.

Students should make sure to choose they first year broadening module wisely because they are most likely going to be studying that more in depth in the next years and they should make sure they enjoy it.

Economics, Year 2

(5)·By Malak K·Economics· Jul 2021
It was very exiting! Many events, got to know many people! Great organisation, made me feel like this is my new home rather than just a university id be going to for 3 years It is very clean, very good sized rooms. Good kitchens. Amazing locations all over campus Absolute state of the art facilities. Amazing library, spacious classrooms. Lectures are very organised and clear. Lecturers are always available and ready to help with any queries students may have. Life in this city is very calm, the perfect environment for studying. Not too distracting making it ideal for studying and at the same time having a good time

Studying at the prestigious Management School provides great career prospects. The university is very multicultural and everyone is friendly and welcoming. Lancaster is in a lovely picturesque area, there is nice nightlife, the uni provides great facilities and nice accommodation, overall, I really love the campus.

History, Graduate

(5)·By Alan F·History· Jul 2021
Was pretty decent, although lancaster isn't the busiest city, but still a lot of fun Depending on college you go for the accommodation suits all ranges of people and budgets. Townhouses are super sociable and some of the flats are super modern and nice. But there are cheaper options too All really modern and great. Loads of new buildings, especially for management subjects. It's a great course, the variety of modules that you can pick from is better than the majority of other unis so you can choose what interests you It's a quiet city, but can also be so vibrant at the same time. It's a safe and great place to study and go out. Because it's such a university city, although there isn't much choice for nights out, it feels so much more like a community

Drama, Graduate

(5)·By Ellen W·Drama· Jul 2021
I absolutely loved freshers! The uni has a college system so it was really full on. Very memorable! Lancaster's accommodation is amazing. So clean and smart and really feels like a home from home. The library is so well stocked, you can always find what you need and all of the other facilities were fantastic too! The course covered such a broad area of specialisms and really prepared me for a life in the industry. Lectures were really engaging and I enjoyed every minute of study! As a smaller city the student life was actually brilliant. Everyone lives close to everyone and you're always a stone's throw away from a good night out!

Lancaster Univerisity

(5)·By Emma I·Business· Jun 2023
The campus has a lively, vibrant atmosphere with so much going on, such as markets on a Thursday. The accomodation is super clean and has everything you need. I'm really enjoying my course and feel that there is plenty of help on offer and constant communication with my tutors, so I always know what's going on. There are so many societies to get involved with and lots of opportunities to meet new people with similar interests.

Lancaster University has provided me with the most supportive, stimulating and challenging year of my life. The staff are great at catering to your needs. The societies and sport teams are amazing and inclusive. Lancaster as a whole is probably the best university ever.
