My son is planning to start sept 2019 doing physical education and sport course Lincoln is his first choice and he likes cygnet wharf accommodation.
I'm a 2nd year student at Lincoln, so I just thought I'd give you guys some advice on halls.
Courts: Avoid. People have compared it to a prison on the inside, and people can't wait to get out of there come the end of their first year. I guess a lot of people go for Courts because it is classed as the University's on site on accommodation, but you have to realise that literally every hall of residence is within close proximity of each other. It's incredibly rowdy and noisy, so keep that in mind if you actually plan on getting work done.
Cygnet Wharf: Lincoln's new on site accommodation. It's really nice and modern - the kitchen is huge and the rooms are okay in size, but you have to keep in mind that you will be living with 10-11 other students within your apartment. Most other halls of residence have people living with 4-6 other people within a flat.
The 'nicer' accommodation options would be The Gateway, Brayford Quay, Junxion, and St Marks. Definitely check those out before you make your choices! I would avoid Pavilions as it hosts around 1300 students, and is pretty much like Courts in terms of how noisy it is, and I would also avoid Danesgate House and Aqua House.
Hey thanks for the information, however I don’t want to be too far from the uni like I don’t want to spend money on a bus ticket everyday if you get me? Is all the accommodation is close to the uni?

No one uses buses here to get to lectures - all of the buildings are within close proximity of each other and so are most of the halls of residences. You said you wanted to study History and so you'll mostly be in the Art, Architecture and Design building, which is about the same walking distance from my accom (The Gateway) as it is from Courts, if not closer.
If you planned to stay in any of the accommodation choices I listed in my first post, it would take you roughly 5-10 minutes to get to your lectures by walking. It's a small city so don't worry about bus tickets or anything like that!

Hello Amie,
As other posters have stated, all of the accommodation here in Lincoln is within walking distance of the University - most of them being a 5-10 minute walk so there is no need to worry about travelling in for your lectures as everything is accessible by foot (this also includes shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, cinemas etc).
You can check out how far each of the accommodation sites are away from each other and the University here: https://www.lincoln.ac.uk/home/studentlife/accommodation/map/?id=12. Whilst not all of them are classed as 'on campus' halls of residence they are generally all about the same distance away from those that are.
Choosing where to live and moving to university is a very exciting time, so if you have any questions, please do get in touch as we are always happy to help!
