lancaster uni college???

Hi! I'm not sure how to go about picking a college so I thought it'd be a good idea to post on here and get people's opinions.

I'm a student from a European country, introverted, not a drinker or a party goer. I would enjoy going on trips around the country to see as much as possible. I am also religious and want to join the Christian Union. I'm going to be studying Accounting & Finance and want standard accomodation (with washbasin).
Any help is welcome😊

Furness is typically seen as a quieter college, that offers standard accommodation, I am biased since it was my college, but I think you would like it. One tip, don't get to Freshers week and take that as how noisy it will be, after a week or two it all calms down.

I'd say it really doesn't matter, the primary think different colleges offer is being in a different place on campus.

Hello,
There's no way to tell who you'll be living because obviously each year it's different. There are colleges that are stereotypically quieter but you could end up with a rowdier flat! It's the risk I guess. Each college has non-drinking events in Welcome week so you should be fine on that front. Ultimately it doesn't matter too much and you'll be located everyone on campus for your lectures. Bowland accommodation tends to be in the centre and so could be nosier than Furness and Fylde for example. But like someone else said, it'll calm down after Freshers week when people start doing work!
Not sure how else I can help really! You may be able to write some preferences such as a single gender flat when you sign up which will help increase your chances of staying with like-minded people.

Thank you! I've been trying to get more information on the accomodation and colleges but the webpage of the uni is not working for some reason. I tried accessing it from multiple devices but it won't load. Do you know why?

Hello,
I'm not too sure - it may because they're updating current information on accommodation and colleges. Maybe check back in a few days and if it's still not working, let men know and I'll pass it on.

Yes, these ones. I've tried opening them from Chrome, Google, Samsung Internet from four different devices and they are not loading. I clicked the links you've sent and still nothing.
