With Lancaster University having over 13,000 students enrolled there, it\u2019s no surprise that you\u2019re bound to run into a few stereotypical characters. So, if you\u2019re a new student starting this year expect to recognise a few of these students below.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t be surprised if this becomes you a lot faster than you thought. Soon enough iLancaster login system will be your enemy, as it forces you to go to your lectures. The shame! How dare it force you to learn instead of waste the \u00a39000 you spent to be there.<\/p>\n
This student is the opposite of the above mentioned and will dedicate every second of their day to working. Yet, they\u2019ll come out the end of first year with a 1st<\/sup> and still say they could have worked harder\u2026 good job it doesn\u2019t count then I suppose?<\/p>\n Sugar is bound to end up being most students chosen destination on a night out, because let\u2019s be honest who doesn\u2019t love a good throwback song on a Friday night. But for some, Friday night just isn\u2019t enough, and you\u2019ll often see them slumped on the desk at 9am Thursday, after braving the Wednesday student night out despite knowing they\u2019d suffer for it the next day. To these students, I salute you.<\/p>\n This person is most likely going to be an English student and if you end up living with one, be prepared for the long theatrical responses to simple questions and the rehearsed quotations of Charlotte Bronte. They won\u2019t just be pretending to have done the reading for the week like everyone else, but eagerly be awaiting to put their hand up in the middle of the lectures to answer the lecturers rhetorical question\u2026 again.<\/p>\n And yes, I said they should not that they do. This person at Lancaster University will be so unskilled in the kitchen that they will most likely have food poisoning on a weekly basis. Don\u2019t be surprised if your nose and stomach is constantly being tested over the contents of their fridge.<\/p>\n Although they won\u2019t realise it, this person will make every sentence they say about their new-found love. At first, you\u2019ll be happy for them, but sooner or later you\u2019ll get tired of having to put headphones in every time they have their partner over… Trust me. The university walls are not very thick, so be warned.<\/p>\n At Lancaster University, you\u2019re put in a flat with between 6 and 15 people so you\u2019re bound to not get along with everyone, but there is always one who may as well not be there. Maybe they\u2019ll go out with you in Freshers week and come to all the events, but by the time second term rolls around you\u2019ll go weeks on end without seeing them. Only knowing they\u2019re still alive by the occasional empty Pizzetta box in the recycling.<\/p>\n Now, I realise that by writing about this student I actually become them too, but it has to be said. Roses is fixed, and while the rest of the university decorates campus and decides which events they are going to attend, there is always one lurking in the background, whispering in your ear about the falsity of Roses. And once you listen to them you can\u2019t help but feel that Roses isn\u2019t quite the event you thought it was. Sorry folks.<\/p>\n In fresher\u2019s week each set of halls will be assigned a student rep to \u2018look after\u2019 them for the week. But you will spot this rep a mile away. They will look tired and exhausted from going out the night before you arrived, and while you\u2019ll have the best nights out with them, you\u2019ll wonder what you actually learnt from them except how to play ring of fire.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a student at Lancaster University then you\u2019ll already know what I\u2019m talking about. You will become this student if you\u2019re not already. Trust me. Everyone eventually turns against the University board. A shelter to cover the walkways around campus? How dare you! Lights down to the underpass to make it feel safer? Disgraceful! Down with The Spine already.<\/p>\n With Lancaster University having over 13,000 students enrolled there, it\u2019s no surprise that you\u2019re bound to run into a few stereotypical characters.
