Not too many chavs, the centre is alright

Applying to UCLAN?
It's not so bad. It's pretty small though, so whether you think it's shite or not depends on where you're coming from...

You should definitely
enjoy a pub there called the Mad Ferret. It's good for live music and every year they put on Glastonferret, an alternative festival - they even turf the interior of the pub to give it that outdoors feel.

Preston isn't too bad
Avoid the park that's down a side street off the main shopping street, lots of druggies and scary creatures. It's like fucking paradise compared to Blackpool

Preston Here.
IIRC, myerscough ag. has some accomdation on-site; but you're away from anything except a nearby chippy, small shop/post office, and pub. Alternatively, staying in Preston commits you to a daily bus trip up the A6, or a daily struggle to park.

Preston isn't all bad; I suppose it depends on what you like in life. Crompton's right about caution regarding Avenham Park, however at the right times it seems quite safe.

One tiny anecdote about Myerscough: In the science labs, there is/was a safety book; which advises that ordinary water spilled in the eye should be rinsed away with ordinary water.

I agree with everyone
its not too bad, depends on where your moving from, I came from manchester so its a bit quiet, only been here a few months so far and its been quite good... I have heard it being called depreston though .
