University of Lincoln

So far, university has been amazing, I knew from the open days I wanted to be here and now I am I couldn't of chose.m anywhere better. The safe are great and the student union big quiz was defiantly a highlight for my time here. So many laughs and I know there's so much to come for the next 3 years!

There was a very warm welcome. The team on the course were very helpful in supporting us new students and the introduction lectures we had were very informative. I couldn't fault my experience, I settled in very quickly! It was an ensuite double room, sharing with 5 other students. I liked the size of the flat because I think sharing with more than 5 people would be too much. The flat was always kept clean to a high standard and repairs were addressed and solved quickly. Access to all of Lincoln's facilities are flawless. There is a wealth of books and resources to access in the library, a student only gym in the sports centre - with classes! And the student union have been very good in terms of general support and events The support you get from them. They always walk you through every stage of a point they are making, and we rerun through it happily if you do not understand. They always support you well in the transition to starting your practice placement or the next year of the course Vibrant. Loads of different restaurants, bars and clubs to visit. A nice mix of country and city, always lots of places to explore too

It was amazing! Me and my friends always love freshers week and make so many memories from it. One of the best parts about uni, and a great way to get to know people!

There are so many different accommodation options at Lincoln to suit different people and they're building more at the moment. I stayed in Cygnet wharf when it was brand new and I loved it, my flat was beautiful, my bedroom and en suite were amazing and the kitchen is just insane. Highly recommend despite it being pricey

The library is equipped so well for the amount of students, you never struggle to get books that you need and there are so many facilities for printing and doing work. The classrooms are great, there are plenty of seminar spaces always equipped with enough chairs for everyone and great for whatever you need them for, they can even be booked out by students to do projects. The SU is great, they have so many societies and opportunities for people to further themselves and make friends.

I love my course. The creative writing side of it helps me in so many ways and they never restrict my freedom, they always let me write about whatever I want to write about. The lectures are helpful because they give us all the information needed, and tutors push you to do your best and help you in whichever ways they can. I honestly couldn't recommend my course more.

I love lincoln as a city. It's small enough to feel homey and not too busy and yet big enough to still be a good city. It also has the modern parts and the older parts with the cathedral which is refreshing. The night life is amazing, very cheapcheap for students and so many offers for wherever you want to go.

Go into it with and open mind and a passion for reading and just take yourself from there. Be prepared to write in different styles that you've never thought of before but might grow to seriously love. Also talk to people! They all love very similar things

Pretty dead Quite good, covered well with essential More than expected Course is more interesting than the way they approach, they don't really teach what is essential for students in the first years (softwares). Personally I would love to move in at some point.

Beautiful university, in a lovely city, everyone is super friendly, loving the psychology course! Cannot wait for the rest of my time here

Freshers consisted of two weeks of themed nights which were lots of fun and helped me bond with flatmates. Each night had a different theme, and some of my favourites included the paint party and glitter party as they were more interactive than some of the outfit theme nights. The paint party also had a bouncy castle which was great. The events were spread around different nightclubs so it stayed varied and exciting. Definitely going to next year's Freshers.

I am currently living in cygnet wharf, which is definitely the nicest accommodation the university has. The rooms have lots of board space to put pictures and other things on and the ensuite toilets are very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Although the rooms are slightly smaller than other accommodations, we have 3/4 beds so it is very nice to get the extra bed space. The kitchen is also beautiful; part of it contains full-length windows and as it is a high-rise building we have wonderful views. We also have a large TV in the kitchen and a walk-in cupboard containing the cleaning items, eg vacuums, so they don't clog up the living space. The sofas in the kitchen are slightly hard, however it is a new accommodation and the sofas have not been worn in so is expected.

The library is a very beautiful looking building, however slightly more table space (without computers there) is required. It contains high-quality computers and contains all the books needed for my degree. The lecture rooms are very large and contain large screens so it is easy to see what's going on wherever you are in the hall. The university gym is small however contains all the basics needed to keep healthy and active. The Swan student bar serves lovely food and is very cosy, and holds a quiz every Sunday which is great fun. The Towerbar is larger and great for watching the football. The engine shed, which holds student nights, is very large and has drinks at great prices.

The lecturers are great at explaining module content and make the content very interesting. We go on lots of trips, from zoos to ecology centres, which are great fun but also very enriching. Modules I study in the first year include genetics, animal behaviour and vertebrate physiology which are all very interesting. The balance of coursework and exams is also very good.

For a small city, there is a fair amount to do. You can visit the cathedral, go shopping and have fun in escape rooms during the day and then have a great choice of clubs to go to in the evening. There is often live music on at the engine shed which is also good. There are many great restaurants around the city as well.

The lecturers are always quick to respond if you ever have any questions and the lecture materials are always easy to follow. Most lecturers also record their lectures so you can access them whenever you want online. In the first year modules most modules grades are from 50% of coursework and 50% from exams, so no matter how you learn best you have a fair chance of getting the best grades possible. We do lots of interesting labs which help us get hands on experience in different module areas and the trips we go on are also great fun.

Compact university campus which is nice. The lectures are really supportive and are excellent at delivering engaging and interesting lectures/seminars.

Honestly a really great experience overall. The accommodation was reasonably priced, and very close to the campus. The modules on my course are really interesting and expanded my knowlegde, and we can engage in different ways with different formats of delivery (lectures, seminars, lab sessions etc.). The lab facilities are brilliant, and are very up to date and modern. Everyone's so friendly too which makes it feel more like home.

Lincoln uni is amazing. Staff are so supportive and friendly. They really help you every step of the way and even with things in your personal and professional life!!

I started studying at the University of Lincoln in 2020, which of course was unfortunate timing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, from my experience, the university handled it really well and I was able to get as much out of my first and second year as possible, given the circumstances. I am now in my third year, only a few months away from completing my degree, and finding myself wishing that the end isn't so close! I feel very proud to have studied here and would recommend it to anyone else wanting to go to university.
