When you’re stuck in the campus bubble of first year, it’s easy to feel a little disconnected from the city you’re living in. I found this isolation particularly difficult – until I started discovering what Lancaster really had to offer on social media. And there’s a lot more going on than you think!
Gorgeous brunch inspo: @journeysociallancaster
This trendy, greenery-filled coffee shop is a little gem located just off of Common Garden Street, and it serves serious brunch goals. Their Instagram account is the perfect mixture of latte art, avo toast and plants galore. Definitely worth a follow.
The realest memes: @thelancastertab
Why limit yourself to Facebook for your fill of relevant memes? The Lancaster Tab’s Instagram page is the only way to spice up your feed and keep you in the loop.
Music meets veggie heaven: @theherbariumbar
One of my favourites, the Herbarium’s Instagram account, is filled with freshness. Everything from their beautiful décor, cute cakes and veggie dishes to die for, and musical flair, is perfectly showcased in their brilliant photography. The occasional yoga post also never goes amiss!
Serious arty aesthetics: @licaatlancaster
LICA, or Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, not only regularly update their account with fantastic student artwork, but also showcase some of campus’ most aesthetic spots. If you love art and photography, this is a definite must.
Everything Her Campus: @hercampuslancs
Of course, Her Campus’ Instagram page is nothing less than fire. Get the low down on everything from travel inspo, to the best Lancaster coffee shops, to motivational quotes that really make you feel amazing.
And this is by no means an extensive list. Lancaster is becoming increasingly visible on social media. So, get stuck in, and keep exploring and discovering what Lancaster has to offer!
