Discussion Anyone thinking of cycling to campus with the new £600 bus pass cost? This should help.

38 Upvotes

I know someone who's put together a digital map of good cycle routes across the area because the Google maps one is pretty bad and other maps have seemingly disappeared. It's still a work in progress but he told me to share it here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=13CfrDaSgq6h-pCltYOkx-ufYI_C0yl0&usp=sharing

If anyone has any ideas to help improve it, I'll send them over to him.

I hope it's useful : )

Question Parking at Alexandra Park

6 Upvotes

Hey, looking to pay for parking on RingGo for Alexandra Park (South west campus car park, code 46242) but it says the parking is free for this whole week and even next week at any point during the day, which is not the case for Main Campus car park. Is this some sort of mistake, or did something change? Looking it up online provides no results.

All advice appreciated 😊

They provide a lot of great advices on how to get a job in a competitive job market. I am surprised how underutilized this is.

Also, it is never too early to start. Any campus involvement would be good for ur CV as well!!

Good luck to our 26' freshers :).

Question Moving in late?

75 Upvotes

hii :) i had some issues w my assistance dog needing an assessment that got delayed and we couldn’t start together last week, so it looks like I’d have to try make it work without him for a bit if i wanted to come now. But i’m super anxious at how much of a difference it’d make if i moved in late?? Especially if i then brought a dog to the accom later down the line

Probably overthinking it because everyones probably thinking about their own stuff rn and not that, and people transfer etc etc but would it make any difference socially? I’ve been trying to decide if i should defer or try to make it work rn

pics of my boy attached for fun :P

Hiiii guys, I just started freshers this week and am looking to make some more friends ! I don’t drink or club but I don’t mind the pub (rhyme) I also like gaming, pop culture and Pokémon. Overall I’m a pretty chill person, would also like someone I can explore Lancaster with as I haven’t been out much yet. I’m 21 also :) I’ve enjoyed socialising this week but kind of hoping to find more people like myself as I haven’t really connected with any of the people I’ve been meeting

College Life Guitar lessons in Lancaster

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am a prospective PhD student at Lancaster University and would love to have a hobby to stop obsessing over my project and reconnect with nature haha. I was thinking to take guitar classes. Do any of you know schools/societies/individuals who offer guitar lessons for (absolute!!) beginners? It would be great if they were located in the city centre and possibly not too expensive (I am only a PhD student, have mercy!)
