    5 Stars Nice but grim 06/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, lots to do, loads of different types of pubs, nice people on the whole, good lecturers (n the fac.of science)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rain

    "It's grim up north lad", my old man said to me when I told him of my intentions to study at the university of liverpool. Well, ok he didnt really, but he should have done. You kind of get used to the rain though, I dont really think about it any more. If I were to do so, I would realise that on occaisions it has rained for weeks on end. Or at least at one point or another every day for weeks on end. The thing is that Liverpool is worth it. Rain aside it's a great place to live and study. Things are cheaper than most other places in the country for a start. For example, if I wanted to get ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Location, prices, friendly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nothing

    'Oh my god you'll be wearing a shell suit soon!' was the immediate reposnse i received from all of my friends etc when i told them i was off to Liverpool University to study Ancient History and Archaeology. It made me wonder! But nothing was going to put me off my new adventure. The first time i had been to Liverpool was to visit the University for my an interview. On first appearnaces it seemed absolutely huge. There was no way I would ever be able to find my way around it! The department for my course looked very old fashioned inside, but the surroundings were so lovely with a park outside ... more

    5 Stars You'll Never Walk Alone... 28/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages relatively cheaper, friendly people

    Disadvantages Disadvantages too far from london, a bit lacking in entertainment

    I'm currently a student here, been here a few months. Obviously I have not been to any other Universities, so I cannot make clear-cut comparisons, but this is how i've felt so far about the place. People in Liverpool are very very friendly and you can sometimes have quite an interesting chat with anybody you meet on the street. If you need help you can ask and they will help you. Compared to London and other much bigger cities where people can be hostile, there is a very friendly atmosphere here. If you're planning to apply here, try get into the University Halls as it will make making friends ... more

    4 Stars pool of life! 24/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good course, central location, friendly locals.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the rain!

    i moved from Dublin to Liverpool last September to do a post graduate course in social work. Although i loved being in dublin, i have settled well into life 'in the pool'. Accommodation at the university is adequate but being on campus makes up for lack of modern decor! i am enjoying my course which is 2 years, the lectures are good and i have just finished a really good placement which has given me really good social work experience. i find that the liverpudlians are particularly friendly and that the social life for both students and locals is very lively and cheap. There is a wide variety ... more

    5 Stars Liverpool University is A great Place 25/06/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages City centre campus..Good all round reputation. Friendly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some modern buildings are ugly

    I chose to read poltical science at Liverpool mainly on account of advice I received at my college in Malaysia and from my father,who was formerly an academic.Both the College staff and my father told me that the University had an excellent academic reputation and was renowned as a friendly place.The city also is very well known outside of Britain and is I guess best known after London. They were both reliable sources of information. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the U and found that academic standards were very high, The vast majority of the lecturers were helpful,knowlegeable, and ... more

    4 Stars Liver-cool university? 13/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, fun, friendly people, good nightlife

    Disadvantages Disadvantages scallies and tracksuits and orange people

    I'm a first year at Liverpool University reading Medicine, and so I thought I'd write a review on the place so potential applicants get a feel for the place. The campus is just attached to the city centre and merges connects up to parts of the John Moores University campus. It is quite nice and some parts are under development. Some buildings are pleasent whilst others are grungy and horrible, but that's to be expected I suppose. University halls are situated a good 2/3miles from the actual campus, the bad thing being that you have to bus-in everyday, but this is balanced by the beatufil area ... more

    5 Stars An absolutely brilliant place to study! 07/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I may be slightly biased as I come from Liverpool but having just completed my first year of studying Politics and communication studies there, I have had the time of my life. I lived in Morton House in the Carnatic Halls of residence which may have been a dump but the atmosphere was great and may loads of really good friends. Apart from the halls, the university itself is very respected and deservedly so. The courses and teaching are of a very high standard and also the personal support and encouragement you receive is brilliant. The nightlife is also fantastic and can be very cheap if you ... more

    4 Stars de do do, don't de do la 14/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Friendly and inexpensive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some areas to avoid

    I've been studying in Liverpool for six years (long story!) and i love it here and will be sorry to go. The strange thing is it took me a while to realise this. When applying to univeristies, the only reason I applied to Liverpool was for the football. The univeristy invited me for an interview and so I travelled up by train. I'm from London and this was the furthest North I have ever been. On arriving here two things struck me, one that people were actually talking to each other in the street and two that loads of people did actually sound like an episode of Harry Enfield! On coming here I ... more

    5 Stars Cathedral Campus 26/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great city, nightlife and people

    Disadvantages Disadvantages small rooms

    Liverpool has over 20000 students and I, like many, attend Liverpool John Moores University. When students arrive for their first year they are often put into halls and I was one of of the 500 who inhabited Cathedral Campus near the centre of the city. The campus is built in the shadow of Liverpool famous Anglican Cathedral and many of the houses have a stunning view of the building. The beauty of it is lost however on a sunday morning after a particularly heavy night when the bells wake you up at 9am (usually two hours after you've got to bed!) All the houses have 5 bedrooms, a bathroom, a ... more

    5 Stars Lots to Offer 08/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cost, Nightlife,People

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Crime

    Liverpool is a place although sounding rough and inspiring, which is a dead good place to be a student. I was there for 5 years, got my degree and had a really good time along the way. Liverpool as a palce too live is not the nicest place to live with the students living in basically two areas Kensington and around the area where the main halls of residence are based, basically Wavertree and out towards Allerton. Neither are particularly nice, but then again as a student at college you can't afford to live in the nice areas. Safer than some parts of Liverpool. Lots of decent pubs and takeaways ... more
