Although I was reluctant to join at first as it was not my first choice, it was only a matter of time before my opinions and views on Lancaster University quickly changed. The collegiate system not only creates a greater sense of unity and belonging within the university, as well as aids to the creation of lifelong friendships. For instance, I have not only bonded with people within my course, but also with the people from my college, and the several societies that I have joined. In terms of academic, I do believe that the concept of the collegiate system has made my time studying at Lancaster University extremely enjoyable. There is a clear distinction between my studies and my social life which I believe is very effective for me to not only learn efficiently as well as for my wellbeing.
