A small city which I love, and the campus is all together so buildings aren’t dotted around a big city. Don’t need to take public transport to get to the uni from halls of residence The town is really lovely and steep hill is really nice to go to, however can get a bit boring and the shopping is not great. Can take a big trip to Meadowhall and Nottingham which aren’t too far away. Surprisingly, nights out are really decent and there’s somewhere good to go every night

The area is peaceful. There arr however a lot of spice users on the high street but they are all harmless and there are loads of students.

Absolutely gorgeous city with a ton of touristy things to do such as steep hill and visit the castle and cathedral. In terms of nights out, it is the same old 3/4 locations as there isn’t a lot to choose from which other cities have, and they do get very repetitive in terms of music and themes. Food wise there are a ton of options ranging from on site student bars to more expensive premier restaurants, all good prices and all welcoming. Lots of chain shops too including topshop, new look, primark, marks and spencers.

Lincoln is a really pretty city, with the historic cathedral and castle up on the hill! I would definitely recommend taking a walk up steep hill with all the old buildings now being used as little coffee shops, ice cream parlours, sweet and fudge shops and pubs! It’s a lovely afternoon well spent! The bail gate is also very cute! As for the town, there is a huge variety of shops and restaurants to take your pick from, as well as bars and night clubs! All are pretty good! The Bradford waterfront is also very pretty with restaurants facing it as well as a cinema! The only thing I would say about Lincoln is that there could be more activities to do, on rainy days it can get a bit boring!

Plenty of places to go on a night out with different music styles. Lots of places to eat from relatively cheap to more expensive. Town centre not far from the university campus and plenty of shops. However one downfall is there isn't many things to do in Lincoln so may need to travel outside to Doncaster for example to go ice skating. Overall a lovely place to live as it's quite small and easy to travel around.

Loads to do, drink, eat and see. It's got everything you need with the additional history to back this old town to be a top attraction in Lincolnshire.

Lincoln is an extremely pretty city, based under the view of a stunning cathedral, it has a great selection of bars, shops and restaurants and even a fairly good selection of nightclubs. The student culture is brilliant and if you are interested in sport, there is a good mix around the city, including Lincoln F.C. and Lincoln RFC.

Everything here is conveniently placed. It's a small town with many things to do and places to go, but after a while places starts too look familiar

The night clubs in Lincoln are great, and the city is a beautiful place to go shopping. There are great restaurants which have a beautiful view of the water.

Lincoln is a small city with much charm. There is a historic city center and a bustling high street with many well known eateries. There are also many nightclubs with different vibes depending on your taste, and they are quite a bit cheaper than most places south of Lincoln. Overall Lincoln is a nice place to live and study, without too much of a wow factor.

Lincoln is a great city to be in which has the likes of the Lincoln Cathedrals and castle which aren't expensive to visit! The shopping obviously isn't as big as other cities as Lincoln is quite small but the shops around still meet everyone's needs. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, with some restaurants regularly giving out offers and discounts for food.

Good night life with night clubs like home and circle. The Brayford near the university has great restaurants and also a cinema. Small city compared to most, but good for students! Cheap too!

There are plenty of club nights if that's what you're in to - I'm not a fan myself but I do enjoy the 60s, 80s and indie nights at student bar Red Five. I also love the record shop, Back to Mono and the antiques shop in Lincoln as I collect records. The best bit about Lincoln is the history, with the cathedral and castle as well as the IBCC.

The overall city is beautiful, the perfect size so that there is enough to do but everything is walking distance, good university, good accommodation and nice people. Only let down is that sometimes it can be unsafe but that will happen anywhere. Also it's not particularly culturally diverse but sometimes that can't be helped.

Lincoln is a lovely town to live in! Living up the hill but near by the town centre you have a lovely walk pass the cathedral and castle, then decenting down steep hill to go out the the pubs, bars or restaurants. Days out you can have a tour of the castle and cathedral for only £13 Prices of drinks are cheap and you won't spend much money on a night out!

Also there are lots of restaurants from Nando's to Zizzis, aswell as the Odeon on the waterfront along side many restaurants

Lincoln High Street has a wide variety of shops which you require. There is plenty of choice for everyone, from well known company's to smaller businesses. There is a retail park a short walk away. Which is fantastic as it gives you an even better choice of shops. There is plenty of pubs within the city centre, but you are guaranteed to be paying more than £3 for a pint in majority of places. The atmosphere in the pubs and bars are always positive! The bus service to the city centre is excellent, however, the train services aren't the best. For majority of places, you will have to change at least once, usually at Newark.

Lovely small city with a real character! Good night out and excellent for food! When I first come to LINCOLN I was took back by the amazing cathedral and amazing sights across LINCOLN.

Good size with enough amenities to keep yourself busy. Also not terribly far from surrounding cities which have a little more going on, such as Nottingham and Sheffield.

Lincoln is a beautiful town, full of character. There are some hidden gems around steep hill and Bailgate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s the cheapest city I’ve ever known to get a cab in which is perfect for nights outs. Entry is cheap, drinks are cheap and clubs host good nights on different days. Definitely a great university city.

University is located about 5minutes away from the city centre, all things you could need are nor far away. Only problem is the university is out growing the city's small road and infrastructure.

Nice friendly atmosphere, plenty of affordable shops in the centre such as topshop, primark, h&m etc. Plenty of cafés and restaurants all ranging in price and quality. Up the hill there are many more shops and bars and cafes however these are slightly more expensive as the cathedral is the main attraction in Lincoln. There are a few places to go for a walk, either around the village or up to the Spire if you want to walk through grassy terrain. Overall it's a lively, bright place to live.

Lincoln is a small city, rich with historical culture. Everything is within walking distance of each other, I live in a privately rented house that is less than a minute from the highstreet. From there I have access to a miriad of different shops from Primark to Poundland, CEX and multiple restaurants including Walkabout and Slug and Lettuce. I will point out however that the main supermarkets (Tesco, Aldi, and Morrisons) are a little far away to walk to leaving only smaller shops like Tesco Extra and Sainsburies Mini within reasonable distance. For anyone interested in playing videogames with friends Akedo is a great place for that, Its a a gaming bar where you can rent out consoles for £10 an hour but with friends that amount of money is quite cheap, we ended up playing mario party on the N64 for 2 hours the last time we went. Finally the University Campus is at most a 15 minute walking distance from most student accommodations including privately rented ones, the shortest distance I've had to walk in my three years was 5 minutes.
