It is because they have told me that there isnt much to do there and that lancaster is too small. I am from Spain and probably can't visit it so im quite scared of choosing a dead place.

Lancaster is a city - I'm pretty sure there's always going to be something going on.

Am just wondering, do Lancaster always interview for Physics? Lancaster is definitely my favourite. Love the course and the facilities

To my knowledge, Lancaster doesn't interview at all except in exceptional cases (such as giving an unconditional),

Thanks for this - so how would they decide who to give an unconditional to?
