University of Liverpool

Liverpool is not only a great place to live, but also to study. The university is centred at the heart of central Liverpool life, allowing for easy commutes for research purposes. The campus is homely and community-driven with places such as The Guild and Student Union for support, help, and fun! The standard of education is amazing, with lecturers pushing students to their full potential with fast marking, insightful help and almost immediate responses to queries via email, allowing a personal connection to be had between student and teacher. Improvements could be made to the safety. Of course, there is crime in every city but with student halls and houses in a place where crime rates are high and is the most dangerous area in all of Merseyside. With young people like myself, i feel that the university could do more to ensure the safety of its cohort. Despite the community feeling on campus, the danger of the city is minutes away from that, so I would like to see an increase in support services and security fot students

The facilities are super good and the course is very interesting. One particular issue I think is a lack of support and interest from some staff. It sometimes feels as though assignments are a guessing game of what is right and what is wrong.

The best aspects of studying at Uni of Liverpool has definitely been the community, atmosphere and people around campus and accommodation. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly and, passionate. The freedom and feel is great as well, the guild and the accommodation is always offering events that are great to go to. The only improvement I can think of is the lack of feeling of green space, close by and in the city centre there is little open green areas, however there are parks with a nice one being only a 30 minute walk away, and some smaller ones a bit closer. The docs are also gorgeous and make up for the scenery.

There is great support provided on campus for students, however I have found feedback on assignments to be an issue, taking up to 3 months to recieve feedback.

Lack of support from staff - hard to get responses for World. Academic advisors only meet virtually and give bad advice. Location is perfect.
