Colleges and societies
Colleges are central to the Lancaster University experience. Many students live in their college, but more than that, it's a place to socialise and a support network too. Our Students' Union supports the student executive groups (known as JCRs) who help lead the colleges, as well as more than 160 student societies. They offer you the chance to pursue your interests and build a community here at Lancaster.
