Sort:Latest reviewsBest=Liverpool as a city-truly a student city, amazing and kind people everywhere, amazing night out, warm and welcoming campus and best accommodation and friends. Worst=Load of work and feeling very behind.
Liverpool is an amazing city, filled to the brim with culture. The social night life here always delivers; I am never bored during my time here, and the campus location is perfect for this reason. The campus is beautiful and offers top of the line facilities to students studying all different courses. The faculty within my course are always engaging and inspiring, they always try their best to push us with the content we are learning, encouraging and supporting self study on top of the mandatory learning. There are countless societies to choose from, and the people I have met since coming here have been some of the nicest and most intetesting people. Many of my friends for life I have made in my short time here. I have only good things to say about the Universtiy of Liverpool, and I am so excited to spend another 2 years here!
Nothing I would add just brilliant
Best- societies and joining rowing Worst- CBL is unfriendly and stressful
freedom easy course
Close to the city centre and train station
Could have more options of societies that aren’t just sports. Extremely friendly students staff and locals.
Its a great area and the campus is quite nice, there is also lots to do including nights out. I think student support could be a little better however especially in AA tutor meetings where discussions about the work or course take place.
Diverse student community. I think for my course specifically, more study resources could be provided.
The University of Liverpool, specifically for my course, provides an amazing study—life balance. The lectures are well spaced and the Absence Team is very understanding and compassionate for student wellbeing. All buildings have a certain charm to them, whether they maintain the University’s historic presence or choose a more modern look. The only aspect I’d like to change would be the seating in the lecture rooms. The chairs don’t provide the best thoracic support which, for me, makes a big difference, however, it’s worth noting that they are big improvement from the typical small chair and small desk cliché at universities around the world.
Great close knit campus Expensive accommodation
The University has a great support system in place for all sorts of things and it is not too far from the city centre. However, I do think that some of the lecturers just read off the Powerpoint rather than actually add substance (we can access the Powerpoints from home so these lectures feel pointless). Some lecturers are really good though and their lectures are engaging. I think it is good that the student union offer job roles too such as union brew, only downside is if you do not get selected they do not provide feedback on interviews even when requested which is disappointing, could be improved by doing this as it then gives students an idea of what to do next time in future interviews. There is a wide variety of societies to join too and many events.
The best part of my uni experience has been the support and opportunities available if you actually go looking for them. The lecturers and tutors are knowledgeable, and most of the teaching staff are approachable in office hours. The campus has good facilities, especially the library and study spaces, and there’s a lot going on socially so it’s easy to meet people and settle in. I’ve also enjoyed the practical side of the course because it helps link the theory to real engineering problems. The main downside is consistency. Some modules are organised really well, but others feel a bit rushed, with unclear instructions and last-minute changes. Feedback can sometimes take a while and isn’t always detailed enough to help you improve.
Best: great location, lots of things to do in the area, nice campus Worst: some facilities e.g. run down toilets
Best aspect is that there is great tutors and many resources to support our studies. Support to international students can be improved
Everyone is so welcoming and understanding, as soon as I got here I felt so so welcomed and felt like home instantly
Worst aspects - lecturers not helping Best aspects - student support
4.3
Everything is close together and the campus is nice
Limited tutor contact hours but not felt like I've needed them. Some lectures are difficult to understand as english is not their first language.
Best value for money that i know of
