“everything you need is on campus” Lancaster City
Lancaster is based in the heart of North West England and is home to approximately 145,000 people and 18,000 students. The city centre is less than three miles (five kilometres) from the university campus. If you are used to big city life, then there is no denying that Lancaster is on the small side.

The city’s live music venues are home to regular guitar, electronic, folk, classical and jazz gigs. Fans of film and theatre have the choice of the city centre Dukes Theatre, Grand Theatre and Vue multiplex cinema, in addition to the university’s own Nuffield Theatre and LU Cinema. With a number of galleries and museums located in the city, there’s plenty for lovers of the arts to get their teeth into.

As well as the usual supermarket and high street options, you’ll find the city packed with independent clothes
