Oh okay is alot going on in campus? Is it lively?
How do you like freshers week? Are there games or what happens in freshers week?


Yeah, there's always loads of people about and things going on. It's a big place.

I'm dying of alcohol poisoning but it's great. There's an introvert alternative to most of the fun stuff, like indoor games nights vs bar crawls. Most nights have been lots of drinking, though. The bars are amazing.

If you come here, go Furness. Everywhere else is nowhere.
Manchester is probably the best one. It's good a great reputation, plus there's loads to do in Manchester.

Durham, Bath, Southampton and Portsmouth (kinda the token one). I got offers from all 5 of my choices and put Lancaster as my firm and Bath as my insurance. Bath is my hometown, so I was impartial to staying there.
