Love hearing the differences and similarities between US and UK colleges. My first college was a private engineering school and getting a roommate scared me the most. I ended up having a single connected room and we had a shower room for our entire unit. So it was nice being able to keep the connecting door closed to have privacy. After my first year in the dorm I moved into a fraternity house, and that, my friend, was a much different living experience! 😂😂

Thankfully roommates aren’t common here! I’d be so scared ahahah

[@rosananani6284]

Hey. I'm Brazilian. I got a postgraduate exchange with my country, so please help me with these questions. I'm going in October/25. I'll stay for 6 months, but I'm not sure where to look for accommodation that's worth it financially. Campus or city? And what about food during the month, do I spend more on campus or in the city? Will the bus fare be expensive if I stay in the city?

How's the weather in lancaster university? Is it too cold to stay?? And BTW, this is a really helpful video for those who are new to UK!!😍

[@RachelLord]

Thank you! The weather varies really with the coldest being -1 to about 2 degrees Celsius in the winter time. There can be snow some years but there is a lot of rain! Just make sure you have a warm coat and an umbrella and you should be okay!

[@aliam611]

How about Summer?

[@miilk.]

this is late but the hottest it normally gets is around 30 degrees celcius, a few years ago it reached i think 38 degrees and they made it optional to come to school (although my parents still made me go ahha) but thats the hottest its been in a long while. doesnt get very hot over here

How do I get a parking permit for my car? And do they let you park your car outside your accommodation and drive around to where you need to be?

[@RachelLord]

There’s a few requirements to get a parking permit for campus, there’s some info here: www.lancaster.ac.uk/sustainability/action/travel/parking/student-parking/

[@prijilaaa]

hello, I just received my unconditional letter from lancaster , just want to know if it's worth studying in lancaster for a huge fees, and also is it best to stay in hostel or outside university

[@RachelLord]

It's best to stay in university or student accommodation rather than a hostel. It depends what you want to study and where Lancaster ranks for that :)

[@ma_paya9140]

Do you know if you can bring a TV/monitor into your rooms?

Is there like a space for underbed storage under the bed in the room?
