The sports clubs seem to be really big at the University of Liverpool, I'm a fresher here and people told me that you might have to do all the rubbish jobs because of that, but being a fresher is way too much fun, I don't want to be a senior! The facilities are quite old but do the job, but the pitches are really good. I would definitely recommend getting involved, I've only mentioned the actual playing side, once thats over thats when the real fun begins with the socials, better than any other uni from what I've heard.
Only in my first year at the University of Liverpool, studying Business Economics. Everything is going well so far, the accommodation is ok, I think if i could choose again I would have chosen to live in one of the more modern sites in the centre, because, apart from the fact that they are nicer and newer, they are much closer to the uni, the bus ride is very long from Carnatic! Apart from that though, I'm really enjoying me course and the City is exactly what I wanted.
In my third year at University of liverpool now, studying Geography. I think at the University of Liverpool there is a great balance, everything is taken at a serious level, whether that be people and their courses, the sports clubs, or the social events, people here just want everything to be the best. I would advise people to maximise the amount that they get involved in university stuff when they have the time. Utilise first year, as it is the building blocks for the years to come.
I'm currently in first year at the University of Liverpool and my best piece of advice would be to not take it too seriously in your first year, the work is challenging but you do only need to hit the 40% mark, and if you got into Liverpool then you should really be hitting that. This may have happened at any uni, but at Liverpool, with the people I've met, I've learned a lot of social skills and built my confidence massively, the atmosphere is perfect for doing that here.
The uni experience is awesome. I'm now in my third year at Liverpool uni, studying International Business. To be honest my best piece of advice would be to not leave your assignments till the night before! It is difficult to keep an eye on your deadlines and lectures without someone constantly telling you to keep doing it. Make the most of first year when they don't mean as much, and you need to just make sure you pass, but after that make sure you put some effort in!
I'm now in my final year at Liverpool uni, and it has been an amazing experience. I am currently the 1st team captain of the uni hockey club and was the AU president last year. From a sports point of view I would encourage everyone to join a club, whatever level you are because there is always a place for you! The socials that come with playing sports are something that you won't experience at any other point in life!
So far I have enjoyed my time greatly at the University of Liverpool as I have met a wide spectrum of people from all different cultures and backgrounds, it is such a diverse city. Make sure that you sign up to clubs early and make sure that when you first arrive you are outgoing and proactive. Remember everyone is in the same position when you arrive, do your best to stand out! Don't rush into accommodation after first year, make sure you actually want to spend the next two years with the people you choose!
Liverpool really does have the best nightlife in the country! At Uni of Liverpool I've met the best friends ever and I'll keep in touch for life. I'd recommend the Uni to anyway, was so god to come here after living in London my whole life, I much prefer it. It may be a weird piece of advice but, I applied for Geology as I wasn't confident I would be able to get into Geography. I found that once I was here, I didn't like Geology and was able to change to Geography, I found that they are actually quite flexible and at the same time, really helpful.
I'm currently doing Anatomoy & Human Biology at the University of Liverpool. I'm in my second year now and am also the social secretary of the Uni hockey club. The hockey club is one of my favourite things about the Uni, but i would be biased in saying that! All the clubs are top quality here, both socially and on the playing fields. I would recommend for people to earn a bit of money before coming to uni if possible, I've found it to be very expensive. However, failing that, trying to have a budget in place would probably work, thats something I wish I had started doing from day one!
In my final year at Uni of Liverpool now, studying Economics and Business. My best advice would be for people to use the help that is on offer at Liverpool uni. It is a big change coming to live at Uni all by yourself, but remember everyone is in the same position! Make the most of first year, it was my favourite year by far, met the best people who I'm still living with now! I managed to get a couple of bar jobs while at uni, and would definitely advise others to do the same, it makes life a lot easier!
In my final year now, doing Sociology at Liverpool. Choosing Uni of Liverpool was easy for me as I have always lived in Liverpool and there was no way I was leaving such a good city. For anyone thinking of coming to Liverpool Uni, I would advise them to get a balance between having fun and doing work at the same time as early as possible. It is important to get a fully experience out of uni, and if you do it properly, the experience you can get from Liverpool will be a great one!
All I can say about Liverpool University is that coming here was the best decision I've ever made. Liverpool as a city has everything that I wanted, including an awesome night life! As soon as you start Uni here make sure you get involved in as many things as possible, the more involved you are the more people you will meet. There will be countless opportunities for this in your first few months so just take advantage of them!
Great city life but the SU is quite poor when compared to other unis. Accommodation was great, and the teaching and resources were generally good. Library a bit small though. Eye candy good but the local women are orange, though this might be favourable to some men.

The atmosphere in halls is great. Everyone is so sociable and ts a great environment to live in. Its the same in lectures, you make loads of great friends in lectures as well, which really makes you want to attend lectures.
