Hey. I'm a first year animal behaviour student at lincoln. Zoology and animal behaviour at lincoln are pretty much exactly the same degree, it is just the core and optional modules that are different but they are the same modules.
Zoology is heavily applied for whilst animal behaviour has less students due to the misunderstanding of what the course is itself. Both zoology and ab are basically biology courses but there are a hell of a lot more students doing zoology. All of life sciences do cell biology, genetics, bio chem and research methods together and you do anatomy with the whole of animal sciences.
In terms of lincoln itself, you can walk everywhere you need to. There's lots of cheap clubs, freshers week was actually so much fun, plenty of clothes shops, societies and I was lucky enough to get put in with a nice group of flat mates.
I should also say that lincoln also does a lot of research for animal sciences and there are weekly extra talks you can go to listen to people of different backgrounds. I.e. An primate talk today
