Hi. Daughter has applied for Law with study abroad. She spent weekend on campus for the holder offer event with a friend and has decided Townhouse is not for her.

Many thanks for replying.

Thats quite alright :smile:

The accommodation that they have at Lancaster is pretty decent which ever she chooses :smile:

We went to the open day a few weeks ago but a few questions I forget to ask

Can you have a car on campus if you’re in halls?

Can you get a supermarket delivery sent to halls?

I guess you have to live in Lancaster in second and third years. Is it easy to find accommodation? How easy is it to get to the campus each day? I guess it’s a bus? Or can you have a car?

Thanks!

I believe you can have a car but I think you’ll need to pay to keep it on campus (parking etc)

Yes, you can get food deliveries to your college but it’s likely they’ll stop in a car park closest to your halls and you’ll have to take it from there to your flat.

It can be relatively easy to find accommodation in Lancaster for 2nd & 3rd year but it tends to go quite quickly so you’ll want to start looking early (around December?)

It’s very easy to get to campus by bus as there are quite a few that will go into the campus, and they’re also quite frequent so you shouldn’t have to wait too long.

Hi! I'm currently a student in Lancaster and I've just finished my second year.

As emily said, you can have a car on campus when in halls, but you do have to pay to park on campus and not many people I knew in first year had a car.
When I lived on campus in first year we actually got deliveries quite frequently as we did them as a whole flat and this worked out quite cheaply when you split the delivery costs among 8 people (or however many you're living with.) It's worth noting that there is also a free bus to Sainsbury's from campus on Wednesdays!
In second and third year you don't have to move out of halls, although most people tend do. However I do know several people who stayed on campus and had a great time! Personally I haven't found it too difficult to find accommodation in Lancaster, there definitely isn't a massive shortage like there is in some other university cities although of course the 'nicer' houses will go more quickly. The University runs a housing fair in November to showcase the options available, and SU homes has a list of SU-approved landlords and houses to choose from. Additionally, the university also runs services such as find a flatmate to help you find people to live with in second and third year if needed.
Buses between town and the University run frequently, normally at least every fifteen minutes although often every 5-10 minutes depending on where you live. I bought a year-long student bus pass last year which keeps the cost of this down. The buses can be busy but there's so many of them running that I normally don't have any difficulties getting onto campus. Quite a few people who live in town do also have cars, but having to pay for parking on campus can make this more expensive than the bus. A number of people also cycle, as there are well maintained cycle paths between the University campus and Lancaster.

Hope this helps,

Hi will try and help best I can from what I know. You will also have students in your flat doing mixed courses, so you wont have a flat full of medics for example. Daughter was in a Grizedale townhouse of 12, and although there was not another doing physics, she did have a natural sciences, biochemist, languages, medicine, economics, business just to name a few I remember. Townhouses do not have a cleaner, so its responsibility of the students to clean up. They did have a rota, however the decorations stayed up all year, so when it was time to pack up in the summer, there was still the christmas tree, and a giant furry spider from halloween on the ceiling from Halloween lol.

County:
Main - Superior Standard (8-13)
Field - TownHouses (12) Each floor has 4 bedrooms, sharing 2 bathrooms, and theres additional toilet on the ground floor next to the kitchen
John Creed - EnSuite (i think it maybe 4-6?) the kitchen is older in the pics and doesnt look like it could hold more than that
South - EnSuite 8

Pendle:
?? South Campus - Standard (8 for definite, we saw this on open day,and they share 2 bathrooms)
?? South West Campus - EnSuite I think this is 6-8 . There used to be a you tuber called charlotte who stayed here and her channel i cant find any more, but im pretty sure its 6-8 people

Bowland:Main - Standard Stayed here with the eldest in the summer last year as she had accommodation whilst she worked at primark in the city. There was 2 corridors of 8 rooms. Each set of 8 had its own kitchen, and the two corridors met at the corner by bathrooms and there was 8 bathrooms shared by the 16 rooms.
South - Standard (??)
East - ??Ash - Superior Standard im pretty certain we looked as this and its 12-15.
Bowland Halls - EnSuite (4)
Tower - EnSuite (5)
Slaidburn House - 16 rooms sharing 2 kitchens on each floor (there are 4 floors)

Fylde:Main - EnSuite (8)
George Fox - EnSuite (10)

Furness:Main - Superior Standard? (7-11)
Perimeter Blocks - Standard? (4-6)
EnSuite (8)

Grizedale:
Alexandra Park - Studios (1 or 2)
EnSuite (5-6 this is 5-6)
TownHouses (12) Each floor has 4 bedrooms, sharing 2 bathrooms, and theres additional toilet on the ground floor next to the kitchen
Standard? (8 this is 8)

Lonsdale:
?? - EnSuite

Cartmel:
?? - EnSuite Mostly 8 rooms per flat, some have fewer.
