It's generally a really nice vibe on campus, it's nice that it's so close to Liverpool city centre whilst also being separated. The library's are really good and I really like that they are open 24/7 during term time.
Best is the careers studio and sports facilities. Worst is distance from train station.
I feel that the university environment is very comfortable and enjoyable to be in and around. I feel that the student support supplied is extremely beneficial. I’m yet to find a negative so far! Other than accommodation being expensive across the board when it comes to all unis. But I commute anyway, absolutely loving it so far!
Pros: Strong quality of course content Good opportunities/optional courses (e.g., massage/sports taping courses for physiotherapy) Lots of societies Cons: Location issues - travelling from halls further out (e.g., Greenbank) Late-night transport is limited
The worst thing is the timetable. It is so packed and we have class every single day (but it makes sense because astrophysics has so much content).
Great community, very involved with locals, great events, staff very kind and helpful. Library locations great with loads of space to use!
The commute is bad, and I'm in 5 days a week 9am. So the timetable is horrible too.
Best experience: living on campus and having great lab facilities Worst experience: early lectures and being sick ( freshers flu)
The lecturers are always so interactive, enthusiastic, and seem genuinely interested in their topic of teaching. They make the lectures, seminars and practicals interesting and keep you engaged! You really feel like you’re being taught by experts in the field. The facilities feel modern and up to date, and there is such a wide variety that really helps with our understanding whether that’s the library, online resources, physical models or through practical teaching. There’s something for everyone regardless of their learning preference. The campus is large, yet walkable, and it’s always beautiful. Additionally, everyone is always so friendly whether that’s the staff or students and it’s really easy to make friends. If you’re looking for something to do, there’s something for everyone as well whether that’s societies (there’s over 100!), nights out, markets during the day, discounts on shops and cafes, honestly there’s always something going on that you can get involved in. Definitely one of the best universities and overall I couldn’t rate it higher. I love coming in and learning and taking advantage of everything the Uni of Liverpool has to offer. It feels like a privilege to be able to gain an education here and I will always be thankful to be accepted onto my course.
Great place for the atmosphere alone, the staff are all really motivated to help and make sure you get the best of your time in university, and their gender neutral facilities make it easy for me as a trans student to remain comfortable while studying here. Lectures are generally well communicated, but the campus and SU emails sometimes get defaulted to spam, making it difficult to really keep posted on what goes on in the context of social events.
Great atmosphere and interesting course. Campus looks great and the student life is enjoyable if hectic at times. Contact hours are limited however and much of your time will be spent at home or in student accommodation as opposed to on campus. Despite this, lectures and seminars are engaging and staff are supportive. Would highly recommend.
Lots to do
Boss
The people are really friendly and so are the lecturers.
The people are friendly, a mini tesco being so close but its always so busy and a greggs aswell because its cheap. The lectures are also very friendly.
Best - making new friends and independence Worst - who ever lied and said the gap between gcse and a level is worse than a level to uni, I’m drowning in work already
Best parts: Student support, location and the content of the courses offered. Worst parts: The university union / guild are a nightmare to work with.
Best place to be. No improvements
