What's Lincoln like as a city? & How is uni life for you?

Hey! I'm considering going to Lincoln for uni this September, and was just wondering what the city is like. To the students there, do you enjoy living there? Is it a nice with a fair amount to do? And of course, how are you finding the university yourself??

Thanks! X

Hey, I'm just finishing first year at uni and I lived in the largest student accommodation block - Pavilions. Lincoln is great because you can walk anywhere - literally anywhere. You don't need a car and there's loads of taxis and public transport if you don't fancy walking. The city feels very safe, I'm originally from Sheffield so I was used to a loud bustling city before coming to Lincoln, but Lincoln is so pretty and I honestly haven't met any 'unfriendly' people yet.
Best thing to do is to visit the city for yourself - I went before coming here with my family to check it out. I love living in Lincoln, my accommodation was great for meeting new people and we can literally walk back to our flats after nights out without worrying about getting taxis
There's quite a lot to do, there's plenty of shops in and out of the main town centre (fashion including waterside shopping centre, homeware, food, charityshops, quirky shops, etc), a cinema, loads of bars and pubs, there's events on at the uni quite often, parks and grassy areas to chill with your friends, a castle and a cathedral... honestly the list is endless. I've never found myself with nothing to do!
I'm doing a life sciences course so I have quite a busy timetable, and I'm also a student course rep, but everyone seems to love it, I don't know anyone who has dropped out and we literally can't wait to spend the next few years here! I literally wouldn't have chosen any other uni over this, I was apprehensive when I first came because I didn't know what to expect, but I've fallen in love with the place!
Feel free to DM me if you want to chat about it because I'm happy to help!

Hey! Thanks so much for the response I've been to the city before but I mainly stuck around the uni and didn't venture far. I think I'll need to go there again and check it out, by the sound of things the city & uni sounds lovely! What was freshers week like for you?? For accommodation I was looking at Brayford quay and pavillions, I'm thinking of studying nursing so need a longer contract than most, which accommodation do you think is the best?

I will be staying at pavilions for my first year in September as well, I still haven't visited Lincoln but will hopefully be doing that during July.

I heard pavilions is a good accommodation! What will you be studying?

I'll be doing Accounting & finance, you?

I'm going to be doing CompSci - should be good tbf, except the maths maybe :P Freshers will be sick too!

That sounds good, yeah I agree. I've met a few computer science students on the Facebook pages/chats as well.

Oh really? I can't find any of the subject chats - I've found the freshers/accommodation chats but not the subjects :/

I could add you on Facebook and get you added to the CS group chat, assuming it's your TSR username?
