Lincoln university :)?

I'm a first year at the mo studying psychology. I love it here. Everything is so convenient and there's a good nightlife...something for everyone. I love the university, I can't imagine having gone elsewhere. The campus is literally less than 2 minutes away from the accommodation so you dont have to get out of bed too early for lectures haha

As for psychology, it's really interesting. Some of the lecturers are annoying and others are great, but I suppose that's the same for any university. This year I'm doing 6 hours a week at most and have 2 days off! It's great lol. There isn't too much work to do either and deadlines are always at least a month away from when it is set.

Have you been to any open days? Have you applied for Lincoln?

If there's anything else you'd like to know then I'll try to help lol

Still under construction. Should be finished next january.

The building is going to be business and law, so roughly one floor for each faculty and then the rest will probably be used for more enterprise@Lincoln stuff. It was supposed to be finished for september but they had issues with the planners having stupid requests so the start was delayed.

I'm the Business School Liaison Rep for the Faculty, and am also the Campaigns Officer for the Students Union; I've seen the plans, passed on student opinions and talked about many aspects of the new building.

The building itself will not be divided by school, and we have nothing to do with Enterprise; it will be a purely academic space.

That's funny, I'm a long term student who was in a meeting with STEM about the building whilst the plans were public, the plans for the BUSINESS AND LAW building was going to have Law firms operating from within the building along with business space. Rooms were going to be colour coded depending on department, so how you can say that's not "divided by school" I don't know.

Lincoln University is not respected because compared to most other universities it does not have a large research team, the uni is trying to cash in on business incubation to bridge this and make a quick buck whilst helping out the community.

The facilities are not top notch, the new engineering building going to be built is short on space, poor equipped workshop, the library is short on essential reading books (asking a class of 30 to do an essay on a subject when the library only has 2 copies of that book) The architecture building has ventilation issues which are a design fault, LPAC was built on a budget and does not have enough studio space, especially when those departments are trying to expand. Product design currently operates from portacabins which I still find really funny considering the amount of spare space in the arch building after the survey of what rooms are used and not.

Best of all, the SU building is not run by the SU, the bar is empty most nights and not competitively priced, compare that to the shed which is full. The uni has real problems looking forwards as the shop was moved 3 times... back to where it is now.
