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.

Love this city! The uni campus is central and easy to navigate around. The Brayford has loads of restaurants and things to do. The town centre has all the shops you could wish for and the nightlife is diverse and fun. To top it off there are loads of independent stores and historical buildings such as the cathedral which are fun to visit.

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 an amazing place to live. I am currently living here for university and I can 100% say it is the best decision I have made. Going from the countryside to the city was quite scary however I soon got use to it. There is an amazing wide range of shops which fit all aspects of life

Great mix of old culture and history and new facilities and fun. Big range of places for food and drink, decent selection of nights out.

The city is neither too big or too small. Because of this you can easily walk everywhere around the city so you don't need to pay for a car/public transport. There are many different shops in Lincoln so you will never be short on anything. The bus/train station also makes visiting alot easier as most trains are very frequent too.

Beautiful city with the historical sight of the cathedral. The shipping is brilliant as you have this divide between the locally owned stores with beautiful little must haves and gifts as well as the typical shops you get on every high street. It's also a safe environment with plenty of help from volunteers to help tourism flourish in the city. The university is also very close to the high street but cut off enough that students are free in their own space on campus. Additionally, most accomodation is incredibly central. You also do not need transportation to get anywhere, everything is in walking distance.

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.

Lincoln is a wonderful city and has an amazing campus offering everything a student needs and wants. The accommodation is well located and so are the club's. I am excited for the next 3 years there.

I first came to the university because my boyfriend was there- I didn’t really care about the actual place. But now, in my third year, I’m in love with Lincoln. It’s a perfect place for students as everything is walking distamce, and if it’s not there’s public transport! There are lots of restaurants and pubs, and some good nights out too. The historical area is beautiful and the cathedral and castle are great for a day out and a good thing to entertain the relatives when they visit. Overall, great place, going to miss it when I leave.

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.

Fantastic location in the town centre with lots of shops, restaurants, bars and clubs! Chain restaurants such as Prezzo, Nando’s and Wagas, so fairly reasonably priced. There are loads of fast food places too, as well a 3 supermarkets!

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.

The location is brilliant and full of history with the castle wall and cathedral, and the walk up to both is enjoyable and has lovely sights over Lincoln.

Nice little town, however rather hard to get anywhere. Okay links to the Nottingham Airport, but usually quite expensive to get basically anywhere.

Very quiet city, but overall beautiful with breathtaking landmarks! Lincoln as a city is very easy to commute through, with local places a walk a away

Boring city with little pockets of fun but for the most part dead compared to other cities. Lincoln has beauty and a great mix of urban and countryside, it is great for families and older people, and though the nightlife is occassionally fun, there is very little culture at the heart of the city centre

Really cosy city and homely with everything you could need within walking distance! Gorgeous views across the Brayford, great restaurants and shops, what more could you want?

Lincoln has a wide range of nights out and is a cheap enough city. Can be quite dangerous to walk around at night due to a homeless problem.

Everything is super close in Lincoln, this includes restaurants, uni, city centre, night clubs and the train station being all within a 10-15 minute walk from each other! There are loads of student houses for all years right around uni which is great along with good transportation links. A great place to feel comfortable and safe when away from home.
