Edge Hill is a hidden gem as far as universities go. It's not as well known as some other unis but it's really great in almost every way. Very supportive staff, great quiet countryside location with good access to Liverpool and close to surrounding towns such as Southport. The gym facilities are top notch, as well as thr library and departments facilities. Can't recommended enough.

The atmosphere encourages a good work ethic and the staff are prompt woth providing support and advice when disclosing information. Edge hill has the perfect balance for student live. An improvement coukd be allowing more students to have their car and providing more parking spaces as well as making events such as a career fair continue til later in the afternoon to allow all students time to access it.

Edge Hill University has given me an amazing University experience so far! The campus and facilities are excellent - there are many locations across campus to study or socialize (including an expansive library, student bar, and the building of a large new Student Union building to be completed next academic year). There are also many locations to buy food, and a small campus Morrisons which sells necessities. Rooms with course-specific equipment/software are available to be booked out-of-hours so work can be completed any time, any day. However, a current flaw is the temporary Circuit Laundry facilities on campus - the most accessible way for students to do washing. The machines in these facilities regularly get dirty, are often all full (less than 20 washing machines and driers for the whole campus, located in two different buildings which are a fair distance walk from most accommodation), and regularly break and/or steal money from those using them (the fault of the Circuit Laundry company itself - not the University). Student Support has been reliable and quick to respond whenever my friends or I have had any issues. This has made the transition to student life far easier, and a lot more comfortable. This includes Disability support. Edge Hill University boasts a wide range of Societies, Sports, Events, and Opportunities - as well as fantastic Student Accommodation with spacious kitchens. Additionally, the Student Union (who runs some of these events and all of the societies) has been welcoming and friendly since day one. Despite the lack of a current Student Union building (with a new building is currently under construction), the Student Union remains active and supportive. Location wise, the campus is a 5 minute drive from Ormskirk - a small market town with plenty of shopping facilities and accommodation. The campus bus is free-to-use for students, however often arrived later than scheduled. Regardless, it is a 15 minute walk into the town centre from campus. Ormskirk also has its own train station, with regular trains departing to nearby towns, Liverpool, and Preston. Ormskirk itself feels like a very safe and friendly location. Located in the countryside, Edge Hill is surrounded by crop fields, farms, and woodland areas (such as Ruff Wood, a scenic woodland a short walk from campus). The Edge Hill University campus is modern and unique. Many of the accommodation buildings and learning facilities (Chancellors Court and Chancellors South, and The Catalyst Library) are only a few years old, and even the old buildings boast a modern interior. In my experience, campus has generally felt very safe - I’ve never had to worry about walking alone, even in the dark. Students have been nothing but friendly, in my experience, which was a big worry for me prior to starting university. Overall, I highly recommend Edge Hill University. Any flaws it has are minor and do not greatly impact quality-of-life or quality-of-education. The University is friendly and welcoming, with a wide range of facilities and opportunities, and located in a gorgeous part of North-West England. Studying here was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The campus and library are particularly lovely! And the town of Ormskirk is nice. It’s really small though which often isn’t what a uni student wants and one club isn’t great. The course is horrific and the student support especially wellbeing wise is abysmal!! The organising is laughable and I would never recommend this place, I would actually tell people not to go!

Best is the support off campus . Worst is the lack of student life surrounding the place and the execution of my course currently. Large difference between not being taught anything to currently being on placement with huge masses of assignments due . It is great to study throughout because the library is open 24/7

The campus is very well looked after and lovely to walk around. My experience with student support has been very accommodating. The student union building is currently under construction and therefore the student union seems irrelevant without the events that usually happen in the building.

It's an amazing campus with brilliant courses and staff! I've met so many lovely people whilst studying here at Edge Hill University. The only slight downside is Ormskirk doesn't have a lot to do however, by getting a 30 minute train you have access to the rest of Liverpool so this isn't a problem!

Overall good, not great student life at times in Ormskirk but is not the unis fault. More help or advice on off campus housing would be good, everyone struggled.

I feel as though there are a lot of facilities on campus, there are many places to eat, which cater for a lot of different needs such as vegan and halal. It’s great to know that I have multiple options on where to get lunch as there is plenty of variety. I love the location of uni as it is in a quiet town, but not far from somewhere busy (liverpool) So there’s a bit of something for everyone. Edgehill consistently make it aware that they are there for students to support whether that be mental health related, Finance related etc. The campus itself Looks amazing, Which includes a beautiful lake, Many animals, Trees bushes flowers, Little waterfalls, Modern buildings, and much more. Due to commuting I am not 100% familiar with student life and student union however, Edgehill constantly keep me updated of all the events they have on campus. Staff have also made me aware of the support that student union offer. Overall, Edgehill University is a great university in all aspects, and I am extremely happy that I chose this university to attend.

Edge Hill has a beautiful campus and a variety of programs for students. It also has a large number of international students which makes studying abroad fun and easy to make friends. They also host events weekly for all students with additional events such as trips to local areas for international students. The campus is also nearby major cities that are accessible via train. My only complaint of the university is the lack of food options, particularly on the weekends. Aside from this, I would recommend Edge Hill to prospective students.
