Great people, easy to study

I cannot say enough good things about my time at Lincoln. The professors are all wonderful and helpful. The support that you get here makes the trip so much easier and safer. The lectures care about their subjects and it makes it very easy to learn. The housing on campus is good because it's close and convenient. Overall, the experience here has been amazing and I highly recommend this program for a study abroad destination!

Good Uni

I am studying in Lincoln Uni as a PhD student. I like my superviser. He is so smart and I can get support from him anytime. I like the research environment my superviser creates for me. I can do what I want, can keep passion in my research. This is the best part in my study. Both my friend and I agree that the staff of Lincolun Uni are friendly and helpful. They are responsible for their duty. My friend feels satisfied with her undergraduate study. The campus is beautiful, more beautiful than other Unis I have been. This is also a part of Lincoln Uni I like.

Good experience

Totally, I spent a good study experience here. You can meet many international students, even though most of them were from China. In addition, kind teachers would love to help you solve all problems, regardless of life in NZ and study in university, if you would like to ask for help. On the other hand, the time of lecture is short, only 20 hours per week. Therefore, students have many leisure time to manage what you want to evolve.

A wonderful experience

I was learning English here before I entered my university study in New Zealand in 2015. The Non-IELTS pathway study was incredibly helpful because rather than teaching linguistic skill only, this program is also focusing on application in university life such as how to write academic papers and participant group discussion, which are necessary skills to be survived with various assignments in the university courses.

I love the school!

It’s a very nice school! I used to be a student there. I love the teachers who are full of humor. I love the building srounded by cherry trees. I miss the wonderful time studying English with classmates. I’d like to recommend this school to all the people who want to improve their English. You will learn lots and lots language skills and begin to be familiar with English. Importantly, you will feel more than comfortable when studying there.

Good place for improving your English Skills

I found LU English Language School very useful, as it helped me in terms of speaking and writing skills. I only did English Course for 4 months, but this has helped me to prepare myself entering to university level. The teachers are very supportive, as well as the environment. They always encouraged us to speak English all the time. I really enjoy my time there.
I highly recommend English Language School for those who want to improve their English skills. Don't worry if you have poor English skills, the teachers here are very helpful. Thank You :)

What would you improve about this program?
Provide more fun activities that are intended to improve speaking and writing. E.g. Spelling Bee competition between classes.

Effective course

I have had great experience with Lincoln University English Language School. During my study, I had a great deal of support from tutors. Particularly, I can learn a lot of academic English skills. Additionally, if I have any problems, such as how to improve my academic writing, I can talk to my tutors easily. All of them are so kind and easy to understand problems that usually happen with foreign students. Moreover, surrounding areas of the LU are so nice, such as library, gym, etc. This means we can spend time on

Lincoln University Experience

I had a blast this past semester at Lincoln University. It offered an abundance of courses to take that were genuinely interesting. The town of Lincoln is small itself but it remains close to Christchurch and many outdoor activities. The Farm Road flats were a great place to stay for study abroad students. People from all around the world come here to study and it was easy to make a close group of friends. Overall this experience was great and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in studying in New Zealand

Little Lincoln Bubble

Growing up in Los Angeles, California and going to school near San Francisco, I had been looking for a different university experience while I was abroad. I definitely achieved that by going to Lincoln University!
For starters, you drive through town in about 30 seconds, and past the entire campus in about 15. The Kiwi students are very different from what I expected: not incredibly school focused, a bit insane when drunk, and not very outgoing in classes. The international group was where I really found my place, an incredible mix of students from all over the world and a range of ages (19-33). This group was much more keen to go on weekend trips, have get togethers, and really just make sure that everyone was included and having a great time in New Zealand.
Lincoln has a different grading structure than I was used to in the states: very little daily hw or readings, heavy emphasis on projects and the final, which meant that I was able to hang out a lot more with people with less worries on school.
Overall, Lincoln was a great experience and the administration is very responsive and willing to help out with any bumps along the way!

Reflecting on Lincoln

Studying at Lincoln has been a wonderful experience! Lincoln has a very laid back atmosphere and everyone is very friendly. I liked the housing arrangements because I met so many diverse from all over the world, that I otherwise would not have ever encountered. Farm Road Flats really is like a tight-knit community. Also, I became really close to a few New Zealanders, who invited me on weekend tramps and really introduced me to Kiwi culture.
