Advantages: Great atmosphere and lecturers

Disadvantages: You may never leave Lancaster, I haven't!

I was a student at Lancaster University for 4 years - 3 years undergraduate and 1 year postgraduate - and I really enjoyed it. I studied Religious Studies at BA and MA level. The university itself is a collegiate college which means that it is split into a number of colleges on one campus rather than being just one great big mass of people. This made for a really nice community feel as you could get to know people in your college more easily as you would be living in the same area on campus. This also meant that you met people from all different courses rather than just knowing people studying the same subject as you. I lived on campus for the first year in Cartmel college in one of the accommodation blocks - lovingly referred to as the ghetto blocks - which have since been demolished to make way for more modern accommodation. Although our rooms were pretty basic there was a great sense of camaraderie on the blocks and I really enjoyed living there. My course was absolutely great with top class lecturers - Lancaster University has one of the best Religious Studies courses in the country. I really learned a lot while I was there and enjoyed it so much I stayed around to do an MA. I would thoroughly recommend this university to anyone as it has a great atmosphere and some very good lecturers.

Summary: A great university
