I'm currently studying at Lancaster (only a 1st year but I still know the place and my departments pretty well) if anyone has any questions. The main thing i'd stress, as a lot of people didn't realise this when they arrived, YOU STUDY 3 SUBJECTS IN 1ST YEAR. This is different to other universities. This depends on your chosen subjects (a Psychology major, for example, can only choose 1 other subject) but in general this is the rule. Just something to consider when making a decision. IMO it's a good thing because it gives you more flexibility but *shrugs*
