Just computer science all term or are you specialising into anything afterwards such as CS or AI?

Hey! We attended the offer holder day today, travelled for 3.5 hours to get there, we were really impressed, and the management school was great. Colleges.... would like ensuite room, in a social and friendly college with lots of activities and things going on/ nights out. We noted that near to the management school are Grizedale and Pendle which is best of these?. We heard Fylde and Furness were quieter? What about Lonsdale as we didn't visit that college? How many preferences do we have to give? Sorry for the gazillion questions... being so far away from home I need to make sure I am busy and have enough going on as I won't be going home on wknds....
Hi there! Just wanted to reply to this as someone who went to Lancaster for undergraduate and postgraduate. I was in Lonsdale for my undergrad... I liked it because it was a little walk away from everything in it's own bit of campus along with Graduate college. Also everything in Lonsdale is ensuite. Still very near the Management school though, and has lots of parking surrounding the college so great access. Lonsdale was a bit of a livelier college compared to Furness, Fylde, Pendle. I tended to find that Lonsdale and County were the liveliest, then probably Grizedale but noise was never too much of an issue.

How many minors do we need to pick and do they need to relate to our degree. How does the university help you to choose the minor that would be right for us

Haha fair enough. I got an offer for cyber security specifically so I was curious. I have my computing offer day on the 27th of April or whatever the extra day was, but I'm hoping a space opens up on the 23rd of March one that you're going to instead

Thank you so much for your reply, it really is good to have insight from a former student, (though we appreciate it might have changed). What you've stated matches with what we thought. So We're thinking Lonsdale and Grizedale. Do we have to give two preference options on the accommodation form?

I began my undergrad in 2016, and yeah at that time I had to put down two colleges as preference. I chose Lonsdale first, then Grizedale. In my experience, Lonsdale was very popular, as was County. So my advice would be to put Lonsdale first, as there is a chance it might have to be Grizedale anyway, given the popularity of Lonsdale. That is unless you decide you definitely like Grizedale more!!!

Hey Anon,
Great Question, You only get to choose 1 minor and you have it throughout your first year. All minors carry the same weight which is double weight of your major modules (Ex: each module for you major would be 20 credits and selected minor will carry 40 credits)
They absolutely do not need to relate to your degree, this is a chance for you to study a subject or a field you enjoy or are curious about on top of your major. I study computer science, but the minor I chose was entrepreneurship because i find it interesting. Some of my peers took psychology, marketing, French, Maths, etc so its entirely up to you what you will enjoy learning more about.

You will be given a list of all possible minors you can take and they will all have a small description under them, just to summarise what you will be doing in that minor, how much exam to coursework weightage does it have, etc.
If you are unhappy with your minor, you are able to change it in the first couple weeks of uni.
The minor does not continue to your second year.

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask any other questions you have.
