Yeah same, I just didn’t know if there was any reason for Lancaster specifically? I really like the major/minor system. I also like the range of optional modules for the course.
you know when people get “the feeling” when they go to a uni and find the right one - I got it with Lancaster! Especially for creative writing which is what my main focus is! I just fell in love with the uni x

I am so pleased for you. With that positive frame of mind I just know you will succeed. It's not just the intelligence but also having the right positive approach. Congratulations.

Well actually it is my son who has an unconditional offer doing mathematics with computer science He applied to Cambridge, Durham, Lancaster,York and Warwick. He has offers from Warwick, York, Lancaster and we await Durham. He had an interview at Cambridge and missed out but he is brilliant he truly is. He is really upset about missing out on Cambridge but I know he will rise above that. He is thinking about taking the offer from Lancaster. I feel Lancaster is perfect for him. I always wished I had the chance to go to university but sadly never did. He had the chance to be the first family member in generations to go to university and I know he will succeed. He loves his music playing the piano and singing and writes powerful poetry as well.

Apparently this particular day is for unconditional offer holders, but I figured there’d be a general one, too? Maybe keep looking out for one, there might be one in the future.
