Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadBrand new sports centre, opened just this September.(Original post by Claped)
Hi guys! I'm looking to apply next year and just want to know what the sport facilitys are like on campus? Thanks

Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadOoh that's unlucky! But I'm actually in a similar position. Lancaster is possibly the worst (economical) place for work experience. I need mental health issues in a DEPRIVED area. Somehow, I don't think Lancaster is deprived.(Original post by BeccaCath94)
I know lancaster is great. But out of all 5 of my courses i've chosen thats probably the worst
Agghhhhhh
i've still only got my 2 offers :/

Lancaster and where else? I have an awful memory, sorry!
-
Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadMental health issues in a deprived area?! Erm, trust me, Lancaster has some pretty deprived areas [eg, brownie groups who haven't put up the charges in literally 10 years because the parents struggle to pay them as they are, despite their fees being a lot lower than other local groups] and quite a lot of care in the community residents... You might be surprised, but I'd imagine you would find quite a lot on the topic either in Lancaster or in the local area.(Original post by DoubleNegative)

Oh haha :/ You never know!
I applied to heriot-watt, liverpool, lancaster, leeds and sheffield and only have offers so far from the first two....although i got a letter in the post from lancaster yesterday saying they were considering me so...
How about you? What offers/other places have you got/applied to? -
Re: Official Lancaster University Chat Thread
Same, it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm going back in Feb for the open day, can't wait!!

I got one from them before I got my email, so you might be in luck!
Nothing from Dundee yet, but offers from the other four.
I feel so much calmer about uni now it's insane. XD Where's your top choice?
-
Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadLancashire as a whole has a lot of deprived areas. Only 30 minutes down the road you have preston which has some really bad parts and not that far away is morecombe.(Original post by DoubleNegative)

Ooh exciting times!!
Wow! 4 offers! I have 2
Leeds i think is my top choice purely due to the whole package of course, campus and location but lancaster is definately top for campus!
-
Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadOoh sounds good. I've got a couple in February, I'm not going to UEA, but I might go to the other three. Maybe Dundee too if I get an offer.(Original post by BeccaCath94)

Same for me. But best to go for the package deal in my opinion.

I was offered to go to one from Liverpool seen as though i got a conditional from there, but wont be going as fingers crossed i'll get offers from my two favourites 
Yeah the package deal is better but agghhh i dont know i really want to go to lancaster!!!!! -
Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadYeah, definitely! At least they give you ages to reply.(Original post by BeccaCath94)

I just found out I can't go to my Manchester one because I'm in France, so it'll be a bit difficult. :P
One of my friends has five offers, it's ridiculous! XD
Lancaster's amazing, which is why I'm going again, to make sure I'm not making the wrong choice with Hull.
-
Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadThey do yeah(Original post by DoubleNegative)

Oh dear!! haha That will be quite difficult....is there only one though? For lancaster theres like 7!!!
i'm so jealous!
Hahaha yeah i think i am too....and am going to look at the surrounding area like lancaster town to see what its like
I've been to open days at all 5 unis i've applied to and for all except lancaster i spent like 2-3 hrs there but for lancaster i was there the full day!! hehe
-
Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadI was only given the option for one day for both Manchester and Lancaster.(Original post by BeccaCath94)
They do yeah

I'll have to check that out. 
Lol I know! She kept it really quiet too! I had no idea until she said she had five. XD
Yeah, I need to look at the town too, I didn't get a chance to see it at all, even though I was there quite a long time.
I looked around them all about the same amount, but it depended on how long my feet could hold up! XD I was absolutely knackered for the Leeds one, so I had to leave early and get an earlier train. I slept for about 15 hours when I got back, I was really tired!
-
Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadOh. I was given quite a few for Lancaster (don't know about Manchester!!)...but then I was only given one for Sheffield so......(Original post by DoubleNegative)

Well done on Sheffield if I haven't already said it!
That sucks. :/ At least you'll get the chance for a whole day if you get an offer!
Yeah lol, I'm good at sleeping for ages. XD 19 (or 22 - I can't remember) is my most. I tend to get really tired after shows and stuff.

Re: Official Lancaster University Chat ThreadHahaha i dont think i've said im going to the lancaster one yet either...hmm....i better do so!!(Original post by DoubleNegative)

ABB? That's surprising!! And really good. Is there not another one you could get with a lower offer? :s You don't have to accept two offers if you really want to go to Lancaster.
I dunno though, you could always talk to someone at school about it.
