🎓 How to Make the Most of the University of Lincoln Open Days

Heading to a University of Lincoln Open Day? Great choice! Whether you're a prospective student or a parent along for the ride, this is your chance to explore campus life, check out accommodation, and get a real feel for the city. Here's our ultimate guide to making the most of your visit.

📅 First Things First: Know Your Dates

The University of Lincoln regularly runs undergraduate open days. You can register and find up-to-date schedules here: Official Open Days Page

Be sure to register in advance — spaces fill up fast, especially for accommodation tours and subject talks.

🧭 Plan Your Day Like a Pro

Open days can get busy, so we recommend planning your time in advance:

• 🏫 Subject Talks – These fill up fast, so book early. It's a great way to meet tutors and ask course-specific questions.

• 🏠 Accommodation Tours – Want to see where you'll live? Prioritise this. Check out both university halls and private student housing.

• 🧑‍🎓 Student Life Sessions – These give a real insight into clubs, societies, support services and more.

• 🗺️ Campus Tours – Get to know the layout before Freshers' Week.

🏡 What About Accommodation?

University halls are great for first years, but what about second and third year?

👉 That’s where Student Housing Lincoln comes in. We offer stylish, modern HMOs (shared student houses) in Lincoln’s most popular student areas:

Nobody knows the uni better than the students. Ask questions like:

• What would they do differently?

📝 Final Tips

• Bring a notebook (or use your phone) to jot down impressions.
