Your life at Lancaster is filled with opportunities for you to make friends and engage with colleges, clubs and societies.
成人天堂 has nine colleges, which are your first port of call for everything from support to socialising. Picking yours usually comes down to the type of place you want to live in and the facilities you need. Each college has its own social facilities and events.
Your college is also the first place to go for any support. There are staff on duty around the clock, ready to help, whether it's a friendly word of advice or something more pressing.
You start with your college on day one, and you graduate with your college when you finish. No matter how far you go from Lancaster, you'll always belong to your college.
Our CollegesYour college choice largely depends on your choice of accommodation in your first year. There are a range of options, from en suite to shared facilities, to fully self contained flats. Discover more in our accommodation guide.
