Incredible atmosphere, lovely and warm staff, who are always there to help. Had many opportunities for one on one contact with tutors, who were amazing. However, solid advice was available from any member of staff, who were all experts in their field. Only issue is the extremely apparent lack of diversity, which should be addressed immediately.
Awful student support

Standard of teaching is dreadful. Lectures are useless and have no relevance to the real world. Run down and old facilities. Look else whereðŸ‘ðŸ»

Worst experience of my life, do not come here. It is awful. You get no support. Take it from me, and the more than 100 other people in our uni group chat, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AT THIS UNIVERSITY. I love Liverpool, been living here my whole life, GO TO JOHN MOORES if you wanna come here. The city is amazing, this uni isn’t. They genuinely don’t care about you at all, and it shows. Please listen to this and choose somewhere else, or just don’t go to uni at all coz it’s a huge waste of money and you can’t get a job at the end of it anyway.

They are good at teaching but they are constantly on strike and they mess about with marking and cause undue stress
Overall if you're looking to live in a great city then Liverpool ticks plenty of boxes. However, from an academic standpoint this university is absolutely shocking. I blame this university for the complete deterioration of my mental health. The support they offer is at a bare minimum and from my experience they don't really care about you as a person. I am yet to have a lecturer that delivers a good teaching method. They all seem so concentrated on their research and don't care for the quality in which they deliver their teaching. Coming to this university is definitely one of my worst regrets.

Liverpool is a wonderful city for a student to study in, it has fantastic student areas both to live and study in, the university itself has a beautiful campus, with several high quality teaching departments. The university of Liverpool offers great teaching and does have an excellent student Union, however the universities support system is average in terms of Covid support and student well fair, as such it can be said that the student support system is not up to standard with the rest of the university campus and departments. Despite this, the university of Liverpool is a wonderful institution and it’s a wonderful place to study

I think the communication between departments could be better but I throughly enjoy the university. I adore the libary!

Best Central Liverpool, such a great location. Loads of areas to sit and work, library cafes, group areas Mostly modern facilities Worst Some old and dirty lecture theatres
Having experienced my first year of university entirely online, the entire experience has felt quite surreal. There has been very minimal outreach from the university to check in with students and ensure that they are coping, and difficulties meeting my peers.
The University of Liverpool has some strong aspects going for it. Great student support and prospects, a clean campus about a 10 minute walk away from the city centre, and a strong, vibrant feeling of community.
There’s been times where I’ve considered dropping out as I simply do not enjoy uni. I tried to change course in my first semester, but was told I’d have to wait for the next academic year to start. In many ways I feel trapped in my degree, and the university isn’t doing much to stop this feeling.
The university looks wonderful, some of the facilities are great. The image of the university is amazing. However when studying here I have been nothing but disappointed. The guild are rubbish, offering rare and expensive student nights out, lack of funding to the societies and a hard to approach attitude. The support given to the students is sub par. The library facilities are inadequate and over crowded. The city is wonderful and the location of the university is perfect. If you want to attend a university that looks good on you CV but doesn't actually help you or teach you, attend University of Liverpool.
I think that my course is pretty hard at times, but I love being at university. The city is amazing too! I am definitely glad I came to the University of Liverpool.
I would recommend my course, I have had a brilliant time on it. The lecturers are really helpful - in general, although they let PHD students take the seminars in first year for history and mark the work, which can get some awful feedback but I think they've stopped that now (2011 i started university here). THe politics department is really great in general, with the head of the department being great. History has a few really good lecturers which I hope don't leave before I graduate. Facilities are great, now the student union has reopened this is great for new students. Societies, Not a great selection for a big university to be honest, and the ones which are there other than the sports and the science subject ones are not brilliantly run in general with a major lack of interest and a few meetings and socials at th ebegining of term they fade into background noise at the university. The student elections, i have been through 4 now, and nothing really ever changes. Pick here for the subject, pick here for the awesome city, pick here for awesome oppertunities. I work whilst being at university including for this website, I have visited over 30 universities, and I can say honestly we have great facilities, our student union is very lacking compared to more rural universities, but this is because we are in a main city. I am from London and am mainly friends with scousers and local students as I find the general student population very snobby here ... i.e. not good enough for oxbridge so are slumming it here. Which isn't a bad thing, It is just a culture shock for me.
We have a great brand new modern student union/ I would recommend my university and my course, accommodation varies greatly here.
