In fact the number of students studying at the Lancaster campus at UoC is less than the number of students in Lancaster University's halls of residences. <br /><br />The figures may have been taken on the 4th of April but at both institutions big election registration drives targeted after the Easter holidays, i.e from the13th to 17th. I would not be surprised if those numbers are now way off.<br /><br />Also UoC has an average age of 31, most of its students live in the local community (rather than onsite) and they are doing professional courses like teaching, nursing etc and will likely already be on the electoral role from the fact many have lived in the local area for years or decadesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
