Having spent many years at the University, I had a fabulous experience meeting many students from afar, including international countries and truly tested my own academic ability to the sheer limit! Since I am already familiar with Liverpool, it was a simple choice for me after I left School to make Liverpool my first choice, not that I was being biased in any way. This University has a particularly high reputation especially for Medicine and Engineering subjects but whatever your course, Liverpool will bring many great memories to last a lifetime.
I loved my time here - great City & the Uni is really at the heart of it. The clubs and societies available to students are great - especially enjoyed the sport clubs and sports facilities. The students union needed updating but work was beginning on this when I left in 2012, however, the nightlife & buzz of the city itself more than makes up for it. I studied a science in which the lectures were varied and interesting - opportunities for a placement year give so much value in terms of experience & job prospects and the Uni really help with the application process for internships.
Life in and out of halls was brilliant. Uni's location is great- the campus is evidently a campus but is also integrated with the city and is very close to the city centre. Having a student 'ghetto' around Smithdown road is also brilliant as you have all your friends nearby.
Coming back to the UK from overseas, Liverpool was the best uni I could've picked. I loved my time there and came out with a good degree that helped me find the job I love
I had the time of my life at Liverpool Uni and would recommend to anyone. The city especially is perfect for students- the nightlife is fantastic. The university's facilities are excellent- the Sydney Jones library is the perfect place to study.
My time at Uni of Liverpool was amazing. I loved every second. The Guild was a particular highlight and has given me the skills to undertake a job that I love. Thank you!
First year was more difficult to adjust, so second year is better. Student housing needs to be improved, but the course is always great and very supportive. A great place to study.
Loved it! Made great friends, had lots of fun and am thoroughly enjoying my course. Great location and a great city to do a degree in, no end of help and stuff available to help you through the courses!
I am havin a good time at Uni of Liverpool, love the nite life and havin a laff in lectures. Great fun. Learnin an drinkin is the best time and where better to do it than here? Top
I think my course is great and nights out in liverpool is good, but the city doesn't have the best accommodation and there are not great prospects after graduation for me.
I like course but I have found difficult finding good in and out of education activities around university. Learning lots of good working knowledge but I have not enjoy time with colleagues outside lecturers.

I really like uni so far, I've met lovely people and I am enjoying my course. Liverpool is a great and lively city to live in and experience outside of the course, with so many options for social activities it's unreal.
Amazed at coolness of the city and friends I have made, love the city and my course. Not had a great time in accommodation (landlord problems!) but I am loving my time here.
An entirely positive experience, bar the messed up student's union, I have been having an awesome time at university in the city. Can't think of much to say that isn't all good!
It's quite good, socially, but I haven't been bowled over by the quality of my course. The city is fine and accomodation acceptable, but I don't feel prepared for the reality of life after the course.
I've had a decent time so far, not impressive but not bad. Like the city and love nites in the city but I haven't exactly fallen in love with my course, even in my second year.
I would recommend the university without a doubt. The financial services have been great here, and the whole university campus is lovely with lots of facilities and everything is easy to acccess. Coming to this university allowed me to combine my two favourite subjects and tailored everything to me in module choice which makes my whole studying experience alot more enjoyable
Although the courses leave a little to be desired, the university is on a great campus and the city is packed with stuff to do, great for nights out. Enjoying my time learning and making friends!


The overall experience was excellent. I came as a 17 year old sheltered kid and was able to fit in and find my way within days. The Univeristy organized parties and functions to start the ball rolling on obtaining friends and aquaintances. This set the tone for a good foundation. Even though I was an Engineering Student I got to know and had friends from all Depts. The Medical Students were the most fun to befriend for some reason ! My Studies actually prepared me for a lifelong career that spanned 4 continents. I was able to move between continents and companies easily because of the social and technical skills I learned at Liverpool. The diversity and stability of the place were amazing.
Liverpool had all the facilities we needed from good shopping, concerts, FOOTBALL and parks to nearby attractions such as Southport and Blackpool.
There was a myriad of Clubs and Societies. This was in the days before computers so we had a lot of leisure time to do a vairety of things. I joined some and moved on to others. I must admit I did not a passion for a particular society but I tried a few.
At Roscoe and Gladstone I had a private room with a balcony ! I traveled far and wide but never saw such a comnfortable room in any halls of residence I've seen and I've seen a few. I am sure they must be better but you wont come across them easily. The communal dining area was a great place to chat and we spent hours talking and socializing after eating ... not just eat and run. It was transformed into a dance hall and we had several concerts including some later to be famous bands of the time.
