The best and worst things about Lancaster University:
"The campus outside of Lancaster city centre is fantastic. Everything you could possibly need is available to you within a 10 minute walking distance. A friend of mine who visited described it as 'Centre Parks' which I think accurately describes the campus lifestyle. The university is being regenerated constantly, meaning almost all the facilities at present are less than 5 years old."

"The best thing is that Lancaster has a college system. This gives an instant sense of community and everyone within your college has something in common right from the start. Their are 9 bars on campus and numerous shops meaning you wouldn't ever need to leave campus if you didn't want to (though I'd recommend that you did!).
With Lancaster being a campus university, everything and everyone is around the corner. Your tutors are close, your friends are close and the fun is close!"

"I love having a campus university where everything is in one place. We also have a fantastic public transport system linking the university to the town. The university feels like a nice community and great place to live - it wasn't my first choice, but I'm glad I got glandular fever during my A-Levels and missed out on my first place!"

"The college system is highly useful for integration and student support. Campus is very well equipped. One drawback is the distance from Lancaster itself."
