Lincoln is home to over 23,000 students split between two universities, and combines the atmosphere of a busy student city with the charm of a historical destination. It offers students a more affordable place to study than most UK cities, where modern life sits alongside centuries of history, independent businesses and green spaces.
The city is centered around the University of Lincoln’s Brayford Pool campus, which provides easy access on foot for students. Everything in Lincoln is within walking distance, which is beneficial for those looking to save a bit of money on travel. There are a few popular student areas, such as the West End, Monks Road and the High Street, which all place students close to campus, shops and cafes. There is also something happening in Lincoln, despite its compact size, from exciting student events and live entertainment to local festivals and cultural attractions.
One of the city’s biggest draws is definitely its historical aspect. The Cathedral Quarter, Lincoln Castle and Steep Hill provide a backdrop that very few cities can match. There are so many ways to spend your free time in Lincoln, but many students enjoy exploring independent shops, relaxing in the Arboretum, visiting attractions around the city or enjoying the surrounding countryside.
Lincoln doesn’t only benefit from its history, but also from its busy social scene. From live music, pubs and restaurants, to nightclubs and events at the Students’ Union, there is always a unique way to spend your evening. Affordable activities, regular student discounts and a lower cost of living are a few of the many reasons why students love their time here.
If you’re looking for a city surrounded by history, community and great value for money, Lincoln offers them all, and may be the perfect university experience for you!
