    I'm starting at UCLAN in September studying LLB Law at the Burnley campus.

    I'm wondering who else is studying here?

    Is Burnley nice? Is there any good night clubs and stuff?
    I used to live in preston for 7 years when I was little so I have a connection with the area - I hope Burnley is nice.

    For the welcome pack - I haven't as of yet, but I shall be getting them soon. Have you?

    Hey! I'm doing LLB law at burnley too, finally sorted out my accomodation at preston. I'm staying at iQ kopa halls.

    Just a bit concerned about the traveling and finding where these free buses go from etc. But exciting times x

    Re: Anyone at the Burnley Campus?
    I live in Burnley and Calico are offering accomodation. However the majority of UCLan students prefer to live and attend the Preston campus. The Burnley Campus at Burnley College is pretty poor in relation to student life. I've heard that uni students at Burnley have to share almost all there facilities with college kids, and the nightlife isn't great in Burnley either (gets boring pretty quick). There's also more mature students attending Burnley because they cater more for part time courses as opposed to full time. Even though the entry grades are lower at Burnley, i'm still applying for the Preston Campus as it offers better nightlife, accomodation, facilities, teaching. Sorry if that sounded really negative guys...

    The free bus won't be available next year. I wouldn't recommend burnley if you're wanting a student experience.

    I'm thinking of studying Media Production at Foundation level. What's Burnley's night life like? Is it hustling and bustling? Or is there not much to do? I'm undecided between UCLAN and the Warrington campus at Chester.
