Sort:Latest reviewsLove Liverpool as a city, the nightlife is just as good as everyone says!! Campus always has a nice feel and everyone’s so approachable. For improvements, I sometimes feel on my course lectures are made just for the sake of it with little new information, i would like to be challenged more.
Great campus support Good access to transport
Great student life plenty of active societies and sports clubs. Academically well performing Russell group university. Scores high on student satisfaction surveys. Good support with mental health, finances, Academically and with future careers. Timetable app and canvas sometimes slightly clunky to operate.
Great facilities that can answer any of the questions I’ve asked, places are easy to find, a lot of maps around campus. However, could be improved by the guild and societies, more details on societies is needed, how to sign up to them and more promotions for them, freshers week could have been more inviting if a student enters with no previous friendships.
Best aspects are the location - it is so close to many facilities like shops and pubs I think the student union could do more events for nights out
The atmosphere at Liverpool is so inviting and welcoming. I made friends within the first few weeks that I'm still friends with 18 months later and I felt at home really quickly too. The lecturers are all passionate about their subject and provide excellent feedback in assessments. They're also always open for further discussion if you want or need it. The range of module options on my course (History) is exemplary, though they do tend to skew towards being more modern or ancient in focus; if you only want to study medieval history, there are certainly some really interesting options but they're less abundant than their modern counterparts. If I had to talk about any negatives of my experience, it would probably be that attendance can be quite low, as you're rarely chased down for missing lectures or seminars. If you're someone who attends everything then this is less of an issue, but it can make in-class discussion more limited if there are less people present.
good location.
Best- Uni campus Worst- Accommodation price
The best part of studying at University of Liverpool is the social side. The nightlife is good, there are loads of societies to join, and being in the city means everything is close by and easy to get to.
Great place to study: - Diversity of students - Assignment extensions - understanding that students may have overlapping assignements/home issues that delay their ability to submit an assignement on time (7 day extension) - Different type of exams (essays, in person, group projects) I believe my skills are expanding - The University always provide opportunities for work experience, talks with experts - they dont just focus on your education in university but ensure you have the experience for after Improvements - Timetables of students - especially for a commuter myself having one lecture on one day rather than a full day. - Seminars - sometimes I find their content to not align with what im doing for my exams .
The libraries are very good- they have amazing study spaces and it is easy to take out and return books. The student support is also very good and I have been told about resources and where to go if I need help with anything. One think I wish I had before starting uni is more information about accommodation, including private accommodation.
The best is the social aspect, the worst is exam season
Food on campus is pricey. However, the night life is amazing and there is lots of support for students.
Student accommodation is so expensive, especially for students who are disabled and cannot work alongside their studies. Also you have to jump through a lot of hoops if you need well-being support and want counselling. Staff and teachers are really good, facilities are great although sometimes they are too warm. Abercromby does not have a lift up to floor 2 so is not accessible for disabled students. Also the lift announces that you are using it which is really embarrassing since it is so loud (and is French?). Overall, these are all pretty minor problems apart from the expensive accommodation. The city is great, the buildings are well maintained, the staff seem happy and enthusiastic which makes them wonderful teachers. The course is great and there is a lot of support around wellbeing and academics. The library is great and the library staff give great support.
Great campus and facilities Close to town centre
Location of campus makes it feel very connected to the rest of the city helping in non academic life. My course specifically is has lectures in 1 specific theatre making it feel slightly isolating
Location of campus is great. Very friendly people. Great city. The university has many things outside of the course available to improve student quality of life like the societies and clubs are all of a great standard. The course here is great tho.
The best aspect is that the University has so many facilities for students and the location is not far from town but also around dozens of accommodation which makes it a walking distance.
4.3
The campus is easy to navigate, library facilities are very good and the student union is spacious with many things to do. The city itself is very lively and multicultural so you don’t feel out of place. Crime is high here but that is an issue in any major city in any country.
The course is taught in person with recorded lectures in case we need to catch up on notes that weren’t understood at the time or if students aren’t present for whichever reason. The contact hours vary each week but aren’t extensive.
