Whats it like for (push) bikes at the uni? Is there plenty of places to store them? Especially at Country or Furness accomodation. Anyone have any idea about the sort of times/routes it takes to get into the town center and if needs be morecambe?

Cheers

All the colleges have secure bike sheds. In Furness, there is a large brick shed, with a pretty hefty gate - you request a fob from the porters/residence officer and that grants you access. You then return the key at the end of the year. :smile:

There is a clearly marked route from campus to Lancaster, which avoids the bulk of the A6, and departs campus from the County [north] side. :smile:

There is also a cycle path/walking path that runs from Lancaster to Morecambe and you can normally find some additional route maps etc through google. :smile:

I wouldn't worry - just focus on your A-levels and make sure you do well in them, that's what the university are going to take more notice of.

Anything that says en-suite (so Basic en suite, or Superior en suite) means you get your own bathroom.

I'm starting Mathematics Undergraduate in september, yes. Where are you from and what are you applying for? :smile:

I can't speak for Grad, but in Fylde the superior are just newer and they have a wetroom instead of a bathroom, but its still pretty much the same thing.
Hopefully someone from Grad will be able to confirm if its the same there, but if they don't you have this to go on.

You should definitely have a dress on standby, whether at the North Pole or at university.

I overdosed on formals on my MPhil, I'll be glad to never wear a tuxedo again.

Just a question about the lecture halls at Lancaster. They gave us some presentation about the university and psychology in a lecture hall that did not have any tables. Are these lecture halls used regularly for subjects like Psychology? Because you know, no table, so kinda hard to make notes :/

Most, if not all, lecture theatres have either rows of chairs before wooden banks to write upon or singular chairs that have a little desk to the right-hand side of it. The latter are usually in the George Fox building. :smile:

Pretty much reiterating what Affinity89 said: I assume you were in the George Fox building. Psych 101 lectures are in there and they have little tables that slide up for you to lean on. Not much help if you need a computer though (as I do for a disability). Psych 102 is in the biology lecture theatre which has a table, so its fine. In second year you don't have any in there anymore.
Everywhere has some sort of table, some are just better than others.

Are there any restrictions on the subject you minor in for the first year? I have an offer for Geography Bsc and would probably pick Earth Sciences with it... do you get to pick the specific modules for the minor subject or are they compulsory?

do you recommend getting a bedding pack from Lancs online shop or get one from town? I am not really sure I want to go and look for one in town after my arrival.
