The student life in Liverpool is unmatched! There’s tons to do in the city for all everyone! The uni campus has a great atmosphere and everybody is welcoming and supportive of each other.
Supportive staff, inclusive and diverse
The student community and vibe of the campus is very good, the campus also has a great location just outside the city centre. Standard of teaching and academic support (in my department) was overall quite poor. I volunteered a lot in student voice and it felt like an uphill battle trying to make any positive change.
At the university we have a great range of facilities to use. Specifically for my degree, I spend a lot of time in the central teaching labs which has a lot of high grade equipment and new technology. The quality of teaching is extremely high and I will definitely miss studying at the University when I leave this year.
In terms of my best experiences so far, I'd say just genuinely getting to know a large variety of people within my course, who all have various interesting backgrounds and reasons for why they chose to study architecture. Getting to know all these different individuals makes me love my course even more, as Architecture in itself is a large topic with a plethora of aspects to it. I also really like the campus and how "broken up" it is, making it a fairly large site by occupied land area. Regardless of the weather (well...besides on rainy days), I always enjoy my walks from one building to another, as the uni campus overall just really gives me a sort off homely feeling. Finally, what makes this the uni such a great place to study at, really comes down to the overall community feeling that it gives off. HOWEVER, with that being said, the worst aspect, which has therefore caused a plethora of others, is definitely my commute to university. Not only do I need to be in 5 days a week, but Train Services can often be delayed, disrupted, cancelled etc. Most of the time I don't mind too much, but on certain days, it can get REAAALLLYY annoying. In addition, due to train times, there have been a large number that I either had to skip out on or didn't have enough time for to attend, due to getting work and assignments done. One way through this could be improved, is perhaps for the student union at my university to release a poll questionnaire, through which people can vote on the most appropriate date for an event + reasoning.
Beautiful campus in a great location. Student support available for everything including finance to accommodation. Most facilities modern, however some buildings could be improved.
The guild building is great
The best part of being at the Uni of Liverpool is the access to talk to the lecturers and opportunities to get into research . The worst aspect of my student experience is that some modules have the same content as each other.
N/A
Fantastic staff support academically, well-being needs better facilitating. Poor support on offer in this department
Best part is location and good lecturer. Worst part culture asignements
Near city centre and 24 hourlibraries
Friendly people and staff. Professor Rob Stokes is the best #commerciallawforever
The uni have good facilities but the lecture notes are not good
Overall an amazing experience
Great 👍
Best aspects: - the guild - great food, good vibes a nice place to hang out in - societies - the Vet school - amazing level of support and so many opportunities Things that aren’t so great: - expensive - societies especially sport societies are often not accessible for students on a lower budget. The same goes for the student gym. Extremely overpriced and not accessible for students with less money. - the different departments communicate poorly with each other - sometimes resulting in incorrect information being provided. I think this would be easy to improve. - the libraries are sometimes quite grotty and there aren’t enough gender neutral toilets
I think the student support isn't as good as a friend of mine had something wrong with his timetable but they uni took 3 weeks to fix it
Great atmosphere and the guild is nice
4.3
Pros: City, vibe, campus in not scattered about, student support Cons: Weather, commuting is harder, compact campus (too small)
Better job prospects and more than the bare minimum facilities please
