Nam Phong Duong

Very organized campus with unique collegiate system. Student accommodation is clean and comfortable. There are laundry shop which includes washing and drying in access. There are seminar rooms, library, learning zone and computer rooms for group and self study. Im doing my second year and enjoying my time here in Lancaster University <3

Clark Xu

I had my master degree in project management in 2005. Though the time was short, it was a great experience here. So exited that I am coming back to visit the campus as a tourist next week after my graduation 15 years ago, with my wife, who also graduated here, and 2 kids! Can't wait to see the campus again. Must changed a lot!

Mo HW

Wouldn’t say it’s a beautiful campus, I studied in BC, Canada before, which is a much nicer place. However, it’s a good place to study as there’s no distractions nearby (small town). The staff here are really friendly and the school cares about their students. They’re doing a great job in all aspects.

A Y

After three years of studying here, I can say that if you want a university that’s only good on promoting themselves on being “top 10” while having no emotional support and empathy to students then this is the one for you! They don’t even bother to fix a simple water fountain in the library for a year

Sam Enston

I had so much hope for this university but unfortunately it hasn’t lived up to my expectations or what they offered me. the mental health support so far has been lacklustre, and i feel very unsupported. they also extort us financially in regards to rent reductions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Andy Lester

Wide open spaces, modern facilities,good quality accomodation, although the en suite is a little small and not enough fridge/freezer space per student. Plenty of on site branded facilities - Greggs, WHS, Costa, Post Office, Spar, Coffee Republic, Subway etc. Buses to Lancaster and Morecambe

Violin Star

Dissapointing. Very limited mental health support and they were happy for me to walk away without my University Degree aged 22. But now aged 40 I got my BA (Hons) from London University, a PGCE from UCL and 2 Music Diplomas Diplomas from Trinity College London!!! Thank you London ? …

Shiny Boson

Stayed in the university accommodation for two nights. The room was filthy. There were squashed insects on the walls. The room was so dusty that I had trouble breathing during the night (dust allergy). The bedding and mattress must have been about 20 years old and were terrible.

Alasdair Hughs

I am currently having one of the best times of my life in this excellent academically challenging and world leading institution......
it is a bit expensive and it rains a lot, also hope you like 60's soviet bloc architecture, because lancaster certainly does.

Gren Wood

Not a good place for building snowmans but a good place and environment for study abroad. I met many of my good friends here, everyone is good and takes care of me all the time like family. Cannot believe we had just known each other for few months

Martin Sims

Not impressed at all. Staff messed up big time with course paperwork, caused LOADS of stress/distress to someone who's already ill, and now wants to scam them for a huge, ridiculous amount of money, for no services provided. We are strongly …

Chiemela Victor Amaechi

Lovely study environment, and a top 10 UK institution. It has good student accommodation although fairly comfortable and not on the high side. Great quality in teaching and research and they help students with careers and job placements, …

P J

My take on the University as an Exchange student, the university prides itself on being #9 in the UK. If you got to a school that's in the top 200 in the US than you go to a better university than this one. The staff is unprofessional at …

Christian Bertzick

It was ok. The only thing I have to complain about, was that I asked a dark haired young ish bloke driving a VW golf for directions. He decided to send me on a wild goose chase. I asked another person instead of following his advice, who …

If I could give it zero stars I would. Not everything about this university is terrible, but I graduated in 2020. A year we were all told that exams were cancelled however we could take them if we wish. Two days before the examination, …

My Mum used to work at Lancaster University in the engineering department as a secretary, my dad used to work as an engineer and what days they were way back in the 90s it was so much smaller than it is now.. It's bigger than it looks …

Chun Lee

Terrible Admission Staff. I applied in July 2016 and received a decision on my application in January 2017. It took them approximately 6 months to assess my application. Fortunately, I used these months to apply to another university, …

Sabrina Ali

If your a POC I don’t recommend this place, they think racism is ok. Disgusting approach to helping students and disgusting member of staff who call students names and make them pay for things that they don’t have anything to do with.

Joan Whittaker

Visit was for a Covid/flu vaccination. We'll organised,calm,cheery faces. Competent road, parking, administration staff , and relatively fast.. given numbers attending. I hope those staff received some level of payment.

lucy calderbank

On this occasion I was going to KCs Caribbean food is amazing, I would definitely recommend it. I have previously had a tour of the uni and it has such a lovely feel to it. I haven't personally attended the university.

Abby Clapp

Lovely campus filled with friendly people. Can be quite confusing trying to get from building to building but signposts and campus maps are posted at more populated areas and people are happy to help with directions.

Luke Adams

Overall really enjoyed my undergrad here. I hardly ever left campus due to the remoteness, so this won’t appeal to everyone. Accommodation on the whole was pleasant, if a little expensive (grizedale). …

Angharad Hill

Friendly staff and amazing teaching facilities. Spacious campus with many stunning views and sunsets. Even a lovely woodland trail for walks or runs. Has everything you need all in one campus community.

Vito Abbruzzese

It is true what they say, university is the best experience you will ever have, especially at Lancaster University. …

william riley

Semi rural setting on edge of town. Good transport links, and top graded academic facilities. Highly rated. Many excellent sports facilities. Lancaster House Hotel next door. Use junction 33 of M6.

gg wp

The teaching is great, better than any well-known schools in UK. You get to learn useful knowledge and practical skills in here, but unfortunately, the whole application process was an entire mess.

M W Haider

One of the best universities in UK and I have wonderful experience while studying here. Campus accommodation is also very good. Good halal food options, grocery stores and coffee shop on campus.

Mark Edwards

Stayed in guest room here. Overpriced with a very uncomfortable bed. 6/10 for breakfast but the noisy motorway, mouldy shower and musty smelling towel contrived to leave me less than satisfied.

Mohammad Javed Khan

Picturesque location with a sprawling area, surrounded by dense forestation and mountains. Well planned college structures and recreational areas. Ample of parking spaces and quality education.

mick TMM

What a place. The students are seem to have everything they need on campus and what I have seen the opportunity to learn is fantastic. If you are ready for uni definitely give Lancaster a look.

sue robinson

The uni's care for my son during COVID left a lot of room for improvement. Also, his course still has not returned to in person lectures despite the rest of the world returning to normal. …

K

Terrible university. It's a business, not a university. Has a good sales pitch and social media profile but as a university and place of learning, very poor. No way a top ten UK university.

Jan Petro

PREJUDICAL & BIASED TUTORS
Very bad experience with prejudical and biased eployees. Apparently if you take care of your family, work full time and study full time (showing high level of …

Went to the open day. It was busy and yes there were some restrictions due to Covid19 but on the whole a nice experience. The physics lecture bored me but it's all above me lol

Manju Sada

A great university with outstanding facilities and faculty. The students are motivated and invest a substantial amount of time working towards succeeding in the future.

Amazing new sports center with the latest TechnoGym equipment. COVID safety measures in place limiting the number of users and booking required for each time slot. …

Kieran Wild

Student here in my 3rd year and love the campus layout American style and very appealing. Loved the uni itself everyone gets on and the learning areas are brilliant.

Max Walker

Lancaster University consistently puts profits before student. As a disabled student I had to jump through lots of unnecessary hoops to get the support I needed.

Haflah Piei

I studied here 1979-83 at the Economics Faculty where I

Do never use the airport shuttle which the university offers. I had to wait 3 hours for the coach despite booking a given time slot. Shittiest arrival ever

The university experience is good but I’m so upset with what it has done to my face. I have gained so much weight on my face due to severe stress!!!!!!
