Lancaster University - Question and Answers

Hi
my friend and i are both coming to Lancaster and were hoping to be in the same flat , is it possible for us to ask to be together?

Hi,

So I'm due to start in October this year to do the mEng course, and am sure because I thankfully received an unconditional.
My brother goes to Cambridge and when they were freshers they were assigned "parents", second years to ask questions before arriving. I was wondering if Lancaster has a similar thing? Will we be able to get in touch once results come out with some kind of fresher rep for our college? Because I have so many questions to ask!

Hi there, no one official has replied to you so I'll give it a go.

We have a slightly different system to Oxford and Cambridge. Rather than having a 2 to 2 ratio, Lancaster generally has two Freshers Reps to each flat of freshers. They will be with you for a lot of Freshers week, and the first term, and are also available throughout the year if you've got any questions.

You'll only be told who your Freshers reps are once you move into your accomodation, at the start of freshers week. However, once you've been told which accommodation block you've been assigned to you can join a facebook group for that group where Freshers Reps will be available for you to ask any questions you might have.

Up until then, your best bet is to use things like the Student Room. I'm sure you'll already be aware but a lot of the "Lancaster Freshers 2017" pages aren't official and are generally trying to sell tickets to something, so just be aware of that.

I think Lancaster will be my insurance choice. If I miss my firm and go there (which is by no means awful as Lancaster seems great) am i at all likely to get a room on campus? That is important to me, and I'm not at all fussy about ensuite etc
Thanks

I was fortunate enough to get onto the unconditional offer scheme and have a few questions regarding the monitory rewards for getting the normal entry requirements for the course.

Firstly, I once stumbled upon the page that explained how the payments were made however I can no longer find it. So if you could link that would be marvelous

Secondly, I don't recall seeing any mentions of when the payments were made.

I know these don't matter if I don't get the grades (fairly confident I have got them) . However, I am going on holiday a week after results day and was curious about timing (not sure if you will be bogged down with questions after results day)

Do those who pick Lancaster as their insurance choice have to apply for accomodation before August 15th?

Hi,I'm coming to Lancaster in September, and have applied for my accommodation. I used my college email for my UCAS application and even though I've changed the email on UCAS, and on the Lancaster website, I am still getting my accommodation emails to my college email, which I am about to lose access to. Please help!

Hi,
It seems that many people have received their accommodation offers but I am aware that I am one of some who are still to receive this. Just wondering if you know when this will be please? Does this mean I am likely to get a college I didn't apply to? I put the cheapest accommodation down because that's all I can afford, if I'm given something more expensive will I be able to appeal? Thank you!

Is there an official Lancaster Facebook page so we can start to meet some other fellow students?
