Why does it seem like so many students don't regard Lancaster very highly? I know league tables aren't everything when it comes to uni choices but it's been placed top 10 in many of the tables. When I visited it struck me as an impressive uni. And yet people talk about it on these forums like it isn't on par with standards like cardiff or leeds :L
Is it just because it hasn't been around long enough to be seen as prestigious, or is there something i'm missing? Confused :s
