Lancaster University Official 2020 Applicants Thread

Hi Charlotte it is for 2nd/3rd and 4th year. We loved Lancaster uni but didnt get chance to see Lancaster city; and we wont get chance to see it next week as we have to leave straight after interview back, so any feedback on Lancaster city centre would be appreciated. Good/Bad areas, best/cheap places to shop/eat, things to do in the area

Hey, I got that too but for MSc in biochemistry!! (predicted A*A*A). I am going to the interview, I think we have to? They sent me an email saying I am edible but they need to interview? Lancaster is my second choice if I don't get into Oxford. Im so scared for the interview, I'm so bad at interviews.

Definitely ask some students when you get here for your interview as they might have different opinions on places they've lived! In general, all students live south of the river and commute to campus (takes about 15 minutes to get onto campus), and during term time the buses are in general pretty regular. There's a Sainsbury's in town but there's also a Lidl and soon a new Aldi. There's lots of independent pubs and restaurants and cafes which I think are an asset of the town (okay.. there's no Nando's but there's lots of places to make up for it!). Manchester is 50 minutes away, Preston is 15 minutes away, the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales about 30-60 minutes away. Edinburgh and Glasgow and Birmingham can be reached within 2 hours. Obviously in the town you can go to Williamson Park, the cinema, an event going on at campus or in town (ice skating rink, light up Lancaster, the music festival), or catch the bus to Morecambe to visit the sea!
Hope that's helpful and let me know if you have anymore questions!

Received an offer for BA Geography today, AAB or ABB if I make it first choice!

Just got an offer to do history and politics, unconditional if I firm it (which I definitely will be doing ☺️☺️)

Yay congrats!
Can't wait for you to join us next year!
Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.

Have to thank the Uni yesterday for the interview day for my daughter for physics, particle physics and cosmology. It was very well planned and loved the guy Peter who gave a talk on history of the uni too, and they put on a lovely buffet Learned there 140 places last year for physics and physics + (astro/comology/theorectical) and yesterday was a nice group of about 20 applicants, so there should be plenty more interview days to come in the future i imagine. So, good luck to anyone who has applied, you will enjoy the day

I have a question for Lancaster current students. Re accommodation. looking on the Lancaster university homes website, they seem to be in the city, or on the A6 bus route towards Scotforth. Its at this time next year when freshers start thinking about getting a place to rent. If your more closer to the uni, is it harder catching the bus to uni as its more full and possibility of not stopping? Its just something ive read on a forum and wondered if thats true.
