My overall opinion is 5 stars!…read more Sure some departments are better than others and the quality of teaching will vary, but I believe that Lancaster is one of the best campus-based Universities in the country and definately the best in the North West.

Although my course at lancaster may not have been the most rewarding (I no longer work in the field…read morein which I studied), that was probably more down to choice than teaching. I enjoyed my 3 years at lancaster and certainly felt comfortable and relaxed within the strong community that existed within the college system. Lots of places to shop and eat on campus means that you rarely need to leave (if you're being lazy). It is a self contained town, but well linked by buses to the outside world. I still head back now and then for a beer at one of the bars and am always welcome, even though I'm no longer a student there.

Xaverian College...what a fantastic place…read more This is where I actually became who I am today. I know that sounds silly but this college is fantastic. I learnt more here in two years than I did in five years at high school. The teachers here really bring you out of yourself, they actually care about the students, not just about the grades. I'm still in touch with most of my tutors now, they care what I've been up to since I left and always get in touch to congratulate me on anything I achieve. The range of subjects is vast and the campus keeps getting bigger and better. It's much different to most other colleges as the buildings are spread right out although not too far so you can still walk to all of them comfortably. It's so different to school, everyone is treated as an adult and it was such a good grounding before university, I don't think I'd have been half as prepared for uni if it wasn't for Xaverian.

Trinity is an awesome place to live. Spent my second and third year at uni here and was very happy…read more The flats themselves are great with a variety of options regarding number of rooms per flat and double and single rooms etc. there are also family rooms available. All rooms come with en-suite facilities which are great and the kitchen also comes fully equipped with facilities including a dishwasher. The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful, especially the student staff and the security staff who are always on hand to make sure that the residents are kept safe especially late at night. Its in a great location close to both the university and the town centre so everything you need is within walking distance really. The only downside is probably the laundry facilities which can be expensive, in addition to this there aren't many washers and driers available so it can be quite a hassle doing your washing.

OK folks I can only give my view on Runshaw as everyone's experience will differ to another's…read more For me a great place for learning. I went and took a few courses just because. Well I wanted to learn and at the same time make it worth while at the end of it. So just took whatever took my fancy at the time. And yes did pass them all.
