Sort:Latest reviewsI'm now in my third year at the University of Liverpool and its been an incredibly exciting experience. i have made some fabulous friends and have found my course, Geography, to be very interesting. Overall, I wouldn't have changed anything, Liverpool was the right choice for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my accommodation in halls in first year, and even my house on Smithdown road for the last two years, even though people don't see it as the most modern place in the world, its where everyone is at!
My accomodation is great! i get along really well wth my entrie block so there is always some one to hang around with when other people are busy. It also means that you have friends in lots of differnt circles and you hear stories from all aspects of the university from different sports to different courses. I always hear good stories of liverpool, whcih must mean its a great place to be at!
My course has been really enjoyable. There has been lots of trips to support our learning and the lecturers have great background knowledge and experience. They have been really helpful with all the support in the modules they give us. I dont think i would be doing so well with out them!
ive made lots of friends at uni, from many different circles. That s the thing with liverpool, its such a social university you know lots of people. You never get bored, there is always something going on. I would say the social at liverpool is one of the best around.
My experience at the University of Liverpool has thus far been nothing short of my expectations, amazing! i have learnt so many new things in such a short time. My advice would be not to leave everything to the last minute, those deadlines are very sneaky. Liverpool is a really good city thatt you have to come and see, the docks are an amazing sight, and there is so much culture here. Come and visit before you apply, you'll see!
Go out on your first day and don't say no to anything, nothing that you decide to commit to, you have to stick to forever! For example, I joined the hockey club in my first week and I am now the president. It was the best decision that I made, and the hockey club is only one of many awesome sports clubs at the uni. I' already looking to stay at Liverpool after graduating as I couldn't see myself living anywhere more than this place.
A relaxed environment but lots to get involved with if you want Great swimming pool
Lots of societies for different social and ethnic groups Exams well organised
Would recommend the university to anyone Lots of job opportunities within the university
Great night life work on the student union has taken to long
The massive number of students that do my course, law, displays how highly regarded this university is. One thing I would say is, don;t be afraid to get involved with anything and anyone, wasted opportunities can be regrettable. For example I joined the debate team and it has provided me with a great base of skills that will come in handy with future job prospects.
The nightlife in liverpool is quality. Ive never had a bad night out. There is always a place to go, from student nights, to places to pre drink. Its all so close together and easy to get around.
Different from the 'bubble' of hometown (Harrogate) More opportunities to meet people e.g. clubs, halls
I feel my course, Occupational therapy, is a good example of the wide variety of course available at this University. Not only this but the help and guidance available regarding job prospects and work experience is first class. However the Student Union has been non-existent at my time at the Uni, despite this they have invested heavily in building a new one, which will be good for future students.
Liverpool is a great city. So make sure you dont spend all of your time in halls or the library and go and see the vibrancy of liverpool. It amazing, i love it here. The nightlife, and there is always something to do during the day.
City of Liverpool is tailor-made for student life Great sports facilities especially the gym
Had a great uni experience in a great city. I've made some great friends, both through my course and through being involved in netball. If I could give any advice to anyone i would say get involved in some sort of society or sports club, its a great way of meeting more people. Also I feel doing a sandwich course with a year in industry for example, like my course, is a fantastic opportunity to get some invaluable work experience
My halls arent the mot elaborate but the social atmosphere is great! Ive made great friends all the way across my halls. The halls are in the heart of the student area, so there is always something going on!
Worth paying the tuition fees Excellent number of clubs and societies Course not well structured/organised
4.3
I'm sure a lot of people say it but I would definitely tell people who are coming to the University of Liverpool to sign up to a society, even if you've only had a passing interest in the specific sport in the past as the standard varies and there are a lot of teams you can get into. Don't be alarmed if, when you arrive at halls in first year, it doesn't look like the nicest place, wait until everyone starts rolling in, the place then seems like the greatest place ever!
