A Great Experience

We have built a reputation for delivering an enjoyable day for everyone visiting Lancaster. We asked students from previous visits to share what they thought was great about Lancaster. Below are just a few of the many comments, previous schools and colleges visiting campus have shared:

  • "Our guide was really nice. They answered all our questions and gave us an insight to uni life and showed us her favourite places inside each building."
  • "I like how the university has implemented things that are similar to town so people don’t feel like they are missing out. Lancaster seems like a close community place."
  • "Just seeing the general experience of being in a lecture and walking around this absolutely massive campus. Its been brilliant to see all of this and I'd definitely think of Lancaster Uni as an option in the future"
