i went and visited lancaster uni...

for an open day and to be honest i didnt like it...the campus was in my opinion not very good looking. the only thing i liked when i visited the open day was the presentation by the professors (as unlike manchester they didnt focus on how good the uni is and their rankings), but they actually gave a good insight into what will be taught. another thing i liked was the accomodation, which was very modern. but i saw an en-suite room in flyde college i think, so i cant judge the other rooms or colleges. but imo apart from that, the uni isn't very 'grand'.

yeah; come to manchester

Go on then, why should anyone go to Manchester? Challenge me!

Luke you seem to be very willing to represent lancaster. I have been rejected from edinburugh, im absolutely devastated but it means I now have to seriously consider lancaster. I was wondering what the general people were like round lancaster. Do you get a strong mix of people? or is there a specific type that come to lancaster?
Cheers

Well, i'm not luke, but i'll reply anyway... you get everyone. It really doesn't matter what you are interested in, you will find someone else... frankly, Edinburgh has the highest rate of students on antidepressants in the UK, and they are very much known for being of a certain type... but here, despite the rain, we are pretty friendly! We have the party people, the quiet ones, the hard workers, the ones who are just here for the experience and would like a bit of paper at the end of it- you name it, you can find it somewhere! It wnet from being my 'i need a sixth uni to fill the space on the UCAS form' to my firm choice when I visited- and no, I wasn't rejected by all the others!

I would like to see Alexandra Square jazzed up a bit though, its just such a wasted space and it could be made really nice. They don't have to do much, just get rid of some of the concrete slabs and put planting around etc, make it a bit greener. It would give alot nicer first impression. seen as its pretty much the first thing you see on your open day.

Those concrete planters? XD. They just can't help themselves with the concrete!
