I have no complaints about UCLan so far, except for the societies and social aspect side of things is pretty dead. The university was really prompt with helping me when I was hate-crimed and they were really on it in all fairness to them. I like the facilities a lot, Livesey building is a little outdated but the large majority of buildings are pretty accessible and easy to use. The WiFi on campus is perfect to me, I use eduroam. I have heard some others having issues but I personally haven't ran into any of these issues. Wellbeing are helpful if you have evidence for your claimed illnesses and they do put support in place pretty quickly. read more

UCLan is an excellent university where the staff members are kind and understand the student's requirements and make sure they solve all their student's issues and make them feel comfortable and feel like they can be themselves at the university. The faculty is caring and understanding and students usually end up making good relationships with their lecturers. The student centre is really helpful for mental health issues where they provide free counselling and they alter the student's course according to their mental health issues and disabilities. The student union acts like your voice and if the students have any ideas for the university, they work on it and they give the students what they want. As a student, I couldn't ask for anything more in a university. read more

As a first-year medical student, my experience at UCLan has been incredibly positive so far. The teaching facilities are top-notch, equipped with modern technology that supports hands-on learning and interactive sessions, making it an engaging environment to study in. The professors are knowledgeable and approachable, always willing to provide support when needed. One of the best parts about being here is how easy it is to make new friends. Whether it’s through university societies, clubs, or just meeting people on campus, there’s a real sense of community that makes settling in feel effortless. Life in Preston is also quite enjoyable – it’s a friendly city with everything you need as a student. There’s a great balance between the lively student life and the quieter spots for when you need to focus. All in all, it’s been a fantastic start to my journey in medicine at UCLan, and I’m excited for what’s to come! read more
