A degree defined by obstacles

I joined Lancaster University at a time when it ranked in the Top 10 universities in the UK. The subject matter of my courses were academically enriching and the campus is a beautiful place to be in and amongst (other than December). Following the emergence of covid, classes were moved online. This naturally derailed learning and social experiences that are vital to a university experience. Overall, Lancaster as a university is of a very high standard, though if you're someone who is looking for an intense party culture in the main town, you may be disappointed. The main plus of Lancaster University is the campus itself; the city will become mundane after a while once everywhere has been explored in the first few months.
