MSc Primate Behaviour, Conservation and Welfare

Liverpool John Moores University

Best aspects are the freebies all throughout the year, loads and loads of amazing events my student union plans which unfortunately get booked up fast and not many people attend and people miss out, I hope the student union never stops though as they’ve been life changing and made my student experience better. Great place to study as everyone is so friendly, it doesn’t seem as daunting as a “top” university like uni of Liverpool for want of a better term. It feels down to earth, student lead and student centered. It’s welcoming and I feel like all types of people thrive here because of how many societies we have and even how many different areas Liverpool has and is close to. It’s been absolutely perfect for me. Coming from a once shy almost friendless scared Irish teenager, I’ve found a really secure community here and I feel loved. It just took a lot of time to realise that you can make your student experience how ever you want it to be, it takes courage too, which is hard and daunting, I wish there was a little more support and active awareness for introverted people with events or things cared towards them to help get settled into uni, like workshops and maybe group conversations for newbies. That’s the bit I found the hardest and took a lot of time, and I found my own comparison very difficult to people who were settled and secure here. So just more space for those people, to make uni less daunting. I think my university, John moores, is doing so well though, couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else as it’s perfect for me.

I like the variety of study spaces that are all very modern, so I often switch up where I choose to work which helps me stay motivated. I would like more green/outdoor spaces to hang out with people when the weather is nice, as I feel Liverpool in general is lacking these in the city centre.

the tithebarn library and student life building are amazing study spaces with great facilities and the university has a great location in liverpool with lots of things to do nearby

I really enjoy everything that the university offers in ways of support also love the social aspect of the university. I’d say the worst part is not getting on with some people on the course.

Great place to study, close to hospitals and charities for work experience, lively social atmosphere Worst aspect of uni experience is financial struggle and maintaining independence at such a young age on top of studying
