    Whats your favourite thing about Lancaster Uni?
    Since I'm home for the holidays, I'm definitely missing pizzetta and sultans open at 4am and going for early hours campus walks without fear of being mugged X)

    Of course this is only because of my screwed sleeping pattern. The people are my favourite thing usually. Oh and RocSoc of course ^_^

    What's yours?

    It's a really beautiful town in general. Breakfast in The Sun on a Sunday morning with the papers. Running to Heysham. Not actually been to the university yet but I know the city well.

    Running to Heysham along the prom at sunset is near perfection.

    From when I visited - the location of the campus itself is very nice, the management school building seemed really top notch, and the town itself is beautiful with plenty of places to grab a coffee or go eat

    In my department at least I really like the relationship between students of different years, and between students and lecturers. It's so much easier to go and talk to a lecturer about work when you've gotten to know them - they're not just a name and a face who talks at you for a few hours a week!

    I, too, enjoy not-studying in Lancaster. It's especially effective before exams.

    That is why I wish I did physics.

    Also because they're weird as hell, and so, I'd fit in
