Who did you first meet at Lancaster Medical School?
I think the first person I met was one of my course mates because we were put in the same flat! We met on the first day when we moved in, and we realised that we were both studying medicine, so we stuck together for a little bit.
What was your first week like?
It was quite exciting! I remember feeling very much ready to leave home and start uni, so I was very excited. It was quite busy in terms of getting used to the course structure and what’s happening in the uni in general, such as the Fresher’s fair, going to that and deciding whether I wanted to get involved in new things.
Do you feel at home at Lancaster, and if so, why?
In first year, I felt at home because I was living on campus - that helped me settle in a lot quicker than if I was anywhere else. It helps that everything’s accessible. Living in the city in second year, I still feel at home because I’m living with people I’ve gotten to know over the past year and it’s still really easy to access things - it’s very similar to living at home.
Is there a sense of community in the Medical School?
Yes, little things like when you walk past someone that you know from the Medical School - because it’s small, everyone knows faces - so you say hi and ask how they’re doing. It’s definitely a little community.
