Furness College Arrivals Day - a very warm welcome to all our new arrivals.

On-campus students. Furness arrivals has been planned to ensure that your move onto campus is safe and well-organised. This year, our main arrivals day is Saturday 28th September 2024, our College Reps (in Purple T-Shirts) will be placed in and around college spaces to direct you to your key collection point and to your accommodation, where you can settle in and get to know your housemates. Our College staff and JCR will be available throughout the day should you have any questions or queries.

You will receive a notification from the Furness College Senior Accommodation Manager to book a time-slot for the collection of your accommodation key. Please do keep to the allocated time-slot.

Off-campus / commuter students. If you're joining us this October as a first year undergraduate student and are set to commute to University rather than live on campus, then you're invited to our Commuter Student Welcome event from 10.30am-2pm on Wednesday 25 September 2024. It will include a campus tour, introduction to your college and a chance to meet other new students. You can register for this event here - New Commuter Student Welcome - Events - Lancaster University (libcal.com)

International students. New students choosing to study at Lancaster from outside the UK often have a lot of questions as they begin to adjust to a different cultural environment. Our International Buddy Programme aims to help with the transition to support new international students adapt to living and studying in the UK by matching them with a current Furness student.

If you are coming to Lancaster this September 2024 and are interested in being paired up with a buddy, please complete the expression of interest form.

Or, if you are interested in finding out more about the scheme, contact Furness Buddies.
