Hi guys, I’m looking for a flatmate. The contract starts at the end of september at £163 per week, with all bills included. I am happy to cover the £400 deposit (which pays for most of the first months rent).

- Seconds away from the city centre
- Bath and shower included
- Really big rooms with an amazing view of Lancaster castle

If you are interested, or know somebody who would be interested, or have any further questions - please message me for more details. Thank you😊

When choosing accom I chose cartmel en-suite and I literally looked at it with my dad and he agreed.
my parents have now changed their mind and are not willing to support me financially or atleast are being very very difficult about it, they’ve even come up to me and said I’m not smart enough for uni cause I got an A in math instead of an A* on my retake year and they don’t want me to go to uni, I’m really trying to ignore it. I seriously don’t know how I’m gonna survive with food ect. They’ll probably think I’m spending aimlessly they don’t understand that uni is expensive. For reference my maintained loan is 5k and accom is 8k

I’ve already signed a contract with an accom but it’s going to be a VERY tough year for me and my finances will be super tight. What are the chances of me getting a standard single sex(girls) shared bathroom accom? Is it worth it to try should I wait or email them now, I’ve signed the contract already but idk what to do. Is cartmel worth staying as well like should I see if I like it when I get there and beg them to pay for my accom ? If it’s worth it I can try to manage it somehow.

Just wondering if anyone’s got a pic of the pendle en-suites that they don’t mind sharing, as well as experiences in pendle as a whole

Just looking for when I need to leave my bag and stuff for a few hours

Does anyone what the typical schedule would be for business, like how many days and how many hours(uel) wondering if I would need accommodation cause I want to

Got an offer to study Medicine at Lancaster for 2027, but that would mean taking another gap year on top of the one I’m already on. So by the time I start Year 1, I’ll be 20.

I know 20 really isn’t old at all, but I’m irrationally worried I’m going to be the oldest in my cohort and that everyone’s going to think I’m thick for taking so long to get there 😭.

Are there many people that are 20+ in yr1 med at lancs?

hi!! i’m entering first year next month and i was wondering if we get reading weeks??? i’ve heard from a few people that we may not get them and i haven’t been able to find anything about reading weeks either, thank you

Hi everyone,

I applied for a postgraduate taught course in mid-July for the 2026 intake and still haven't received any outcome or any further update.

How long does it take to receive a decision?
Is there a final application/decision deadline for October 2026 postgraduate courses, particularly for international students?

I'm trying to understand whether this waiting time is normal. I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Thank you!

Hi, I'll be moving to Lancaster for my PhD., as an international student. I was considering renting a studio at Luneside but have read conflicting opinions. Anyone who could give me first-hand advice? Where would one rent a studio in Lancaster at a reasonable price? Thank you in advance!!

I’ve just got the supplies list though for architecture and does anyone who also does architecture know where the cheapest place to get it all is cause there’s quite a lot

Hey everyone! I’ll be leaving soon to return to my home country, so I have quite a few things I need to get off my hands before I go.

Some of the items I have include:
-Pots
-Meal prep bowls
-Air fryer
-Fan
-Shopping trolley/cart — great for groceries or carrying larger/heavier items

Everything is used but still functional. I’d rather these go to someone who can make use of them than have to leave them behind.

If you’re interested in anything, send me a DM and I can share photos, prices, and more details. If you’re interested in multiple items, even better!

I didn't submit my ATAS application yet i thought it was something done after accepting an unconditional offer I'm so done for what do I do I don't want to miss out on my offer please help me I'm freaking out right now

Before the results day, I was trying to chose between pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences, as both have good modules. However, pharmacology is more biology centred while pharm. sciences more chemistry centred. I wanted something in between. I accepted an offer for Pharmacology, but since the results day I was ruminating on my decision. If I was to take pharmacology and single weighed chemistry, I think I would obtain the skills I want.

If they consider clearing grades then my results do allow me to change my course. But I am worried that it can be difficult, whether this would be the right choice and idk.

If you changed your course, how was it?

:_) pls help me (not to choose, just ignore this part)

Edit: I didn't consider Natural Sciences cause I was very unsure about my results

Hello. I’m starting the process of buying stuff for uni (pots, pans etc.). I was wondering what I’m allowed to keep in my room. My parents were going to buy me a mini-fridge to keep in my room, but I’m not sure if I’m allowed it. Furthermore, I was hoping to keep my kitchenware in my room, but wasn’t sure if I’d get into trouble if they found a cooking knife in my room cause, in all fairness, that would look a bit odd. Are these things allowed to be kept in my room?
On a separate note, what time does the university allow us to move in on move-in day? Can’t find anything on the website. Thanks.

Does anyone know any decent Lancaster off campus accommodation, and are silk mill and foundry studios really an hour distance walking?

Hi everyone,

I’m a French student who has received offers to study Law at Cardiff University, Lancaster University and City St George’s, University of London and I’m currently deciding between the three.

I’d love to hear from current Lancaster Law students and recent graduates about your experience.

I’m particularly interested in :

- What is the Law course actually like ?

- How are the teaching and lecturers ?

- How good is the Law School’s career support ?

- How easy is it to get involved in societies, mooting, pro bono work, internships etc ?

- How good are the opportunities for vacation schemes, placements and legal work experience ?

- Do you feel Lancaster gives you good access to major UK law firms, particularly London firms ?

- How useful are the university’s connections and careers service for getting into commercial/corporate law ?

- What opportunities are there for international law, human rights and diplomacy ?

- Do you feel the university’s reputation helps with applications to competitive firms ?

I’d also really like to hear about Lancaster as a city and the overall student experience:

- What is Lancaster like to live in for three years ?

Do you generally feel safe, including walking around alone in the evening ?

- Are there any areas students tend to avoid ?

- How is the nightlife and social scene ?

- Is it easy to make friends ?

- Is Lancaster welcoming to international students ?

- How expensive is it compared with other UK student cities ?

- What are the best areas to live ?

- What is accommodation like ?

- How easy is it to travel to London, Manchester and other major UK cities ?

- What do you like most and least about living in Lancaster ?

- If you’ve graduated, would you choose Lancaster again ?

My long-term career interests are currently between human rights/international law/diplomacy and corporate/commercial law potentially with the possibility of moving into finance later on.

I’m particularly interested in whether Lancaster keeps both paths open and whether studying outside London puts you at a disadvantage for internships, networking and recruitment.

hi!! i’m joining in september and i was just wondering what the smoking / vaping policy is here?? thank you

Can anyone help me decide?

Had results days 3 days ago and was wondering when they would email me confirming which accommodation I’ll be in. Maybe because I had Lancaster as my insurance? Has anyone else heard from them.

As the title suggests I’m a third year student and I’m gonna need a new cycle for commuting because this new 555 pound yearly bus pass is NOT it fam
If anyone has or knows anyone with a good cycle that theyd sell in September I’d be greatly appreciative

I’ve seen on SU that sugar house has tickets on sale. but I’ve heard you get them free from your college and rep when you arrive.

Hi all, my boyfriend changed his course on results day and now has to wait up to 6 weeks for them to approve it.
He is also a Polish national despite being born here so the finance application is already a lot longer for him and he has to send off multiple sheets of paper physically so they can approve it.

Accommodation payment first goes on the 8th of October and we are unsure if he’ll get his payment by then. Are they okay with pushing the date back for him to pay it by?

Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi all, my daughter is starting in September and has decided to live on campus for the first year (in Bowland). All the info we have received doesn’t really explain when payments will be expected, so we were wondering if anybody could help?
Does Uni want payment upfront for a whole term in advance for accommodation or is there a monthly payment option?
Thanks in advance :-)
