Liverpool John Moores University - GREAT PLACE

Advantages: Great social life, friendly and very helpful
Disadvantages: University Campus can be quite far apart.

...I graduated from Liverpool John Moores University in 2005 where I did my degree, I loved it that much I went back to do a professional post-graduate course and will finish this in June of this year. Although I will be extremly pleased to be finishing my education I will sadly miss the university. they have great opportunites for students. They advertise all there events etc within the campus' and libraries, they also advertise in the students union and send out regular emails letting everyone now what events are happening and where and when they will take place. The university itself has alot of campus centres which is not so great as they are scattered around the town in various locations with some not being so easy to get to. Yes they do provide transport to and from the centres on a regular day to day basis. The students union...

Review of John Moores University, Liverpool

Liverpool University is A great Place

Advantages: City centre campus..Good all round reputation. Friendly
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 interacted well with students.The student accommodation=I stayed in Mulberry Court and Tudor Court-was very good,the bedroom was comfortable and the communal kitchen well equipped. The campus is just off the city centre and so convenient for shops...

Review of Liverpool University

Once upon a time, in Liverpool...

Advantages: An excellent museum dedicated to the Fab Four, suitable for all age groups
Disadvantages: Some of the headsets are a bit dodgy (it was just mine) and some displays not working

...the entrance there are several maps dotted along the wall, each with various numbers listed on them. These maps are guides as to the significant places that are in Liverpool and to be associated with the band. The one issue that I had with the maps was how they were ordered; instead of having the numbering starting at ? bizarrely enough ? one at the doorway, the first location on the map was near the counter and you were in effect working your way backwards. I don?t suppose it matters all that much but it was kind of odd. Once you?ve paid and walked along the Abbey Road shoe and foot prints on the floor, which I was of course massively impressed with, you venture over to the other counter where you get your audio headset. Currently available in eight different languages, including French, Spanish and German, I have to say that I?ve never been...

Review of The Beatles Story, Liverpool

Lverpool John Moores University

Advantages: Great, friendly city, good nightlife etc
Disadvantages: University's policy on not using equipment from other departments

...Having attended the finest of 3 universities in Liverpool, I should be an expert on telling you why LJMU is the best Uni... I did argue that point many times during my three years their. The truth, however, is I am not sure I can say LJMU is the best... it certainly is fine, but as I am not a serial student, I can't compare the university with any others... But this is my view of Liverpool John Moores University. I studied Broadcast Engineering, graduating in 2000 with a 2/2 - the best kind of degree to get! The first thing that struck me was how different the course was to the open day example. We were shown around all the flash equipment, and even had a friendly - mock lecture... which I enjoyed. However, when I actually started at Uni, it was time to get my head down - and that was made clear by the lecturers. We didn't see...

Review of John Moores University, Liverpool

Liver-cool university?

Advantages: Cheap, fun, friendly people, good nightlife
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. <<Campus>> 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. <<Halls>> 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 the halls are in. They are surrounded by varioius areas of parkland in the Mossley hill area of Liverpool, which gives them a relaxing community sort of feel. I would advise going into halls in the first year at least i...

Review of Liverpool University

Lively Liverpool

Advantages: I live here
Disadvantages: Some shops aren't here, the weather

...Whether you were born here, visit or just come to study here, Liverpool will always hold a special place in your heart. Liverpool is one of those deceptively small cities that squeeze in so much - culture, entertainment, sports, religion? There is nothing that Liverpool does not have to offer. CULTURE: Liverpool has several theatres - The Empire (the largest and arguably the best), The Playhouse at Williamson Square, The Neptune on Hanover Street, The Unity Theatre, the Royal Court, Everyman and of course the Philharmonic Hall - so you're guaranteed to find something to suit your tastes, whether you want a concert, musical or play. There are also 3 museums - HM Customs & Excise National Museum which is inside the Merseyside Maritime Museum at Albert Dock (you can find out the history of Customs & Excise as well as the slave...

Review of Liverpool in general

Odeon - Liverpool's Number One

Advantages: Good sized screens, great auditoriums, caters for everyone,
Disadvantages: Popcorn sometimes cardboardy, expensive chocolate treats,

...one. Admission prices vary from Odeon to Odeon. Even within this one branch, there's a long list of prices which vary depending on a lot of factors. I don't wish to list them all, should you wish to consult them they're listed in the Box Office and on the Odeon website, under Liverpool ONE's page. However, a few things you should know: * Adult = 15 years or over * Concessions are granted to under 15s, seniors and students (with a valid NUS card - although a University ID should do the trick). * Family tickets are available * Children under 2 get in for free, providing they sit in your arms. If they take up a seat, you have to pay. * Group bookings are available Seats can also be divided into three sections:- * Standard * Premier * Gallery I'll talk about the Gallery in more detail later. Premier seats are located in...

Review of Odeon Liverpool (City Centre)

Liverpool Football Club

Advantages: Great squad, great fans, great manager, great history
Disadvantages: No league title for 16 years

...the bad spotlight. He quickly regained his form and produced a man of the match performance against Manchester United to help Liverpool win the Worthington Cup. More recently he has produced heroics that surely nobody could forget in the Champions League final. After seeming dead and buried at 3-0 down at half time Liverpool somehow levelled it with a magnificent second half performance. Extra time saw Jerzy make one of the best double saves ever from Andriy Shevchenko with just seconds on the clock. He then went on to produce heroics in the penalty shoot out and the rest, as they say, is history. 2. Jan Kromkamp Born on 17th August 1980 in Makkinga, Holland, Jan is a recent addition to the squad. He started out with Go Ahead Eagles in 1998 and, after making 61 appearances, was snapped up by AZ Alkmaar. He rose to prominence thanks to...

Review of Liverpool

Liverpool in trouble

Advantages: One of the biggest clubs in Europe...
Disadvantages: ...going through their worst run in 50 years.

...Picture the scene; it's early November and after a 2-0 win against West Ham, Liverpool went seven points clear at the top of the Premiership and were striding towards a place in the next round of the Champions League, it appeared that it would have to take something very special to knock them out of their stride. Three months on and defeats to the likes of Middlesborough and Sunderland have seen Liverpool slump down the Premiership with no wins in eleven games and an early exit from the Champion League at the hands of little known Swiss club Basle. So where has it all gone wrong for the mighty reds? Every pundit, fan and his dog has had their two pence worth. Excuses and reasons range from poor management and lack of commitment from the players, to wrong formation and wrong players. I think the problem is much simpler...

BSY Courses

Advantages: So many courses!
Disadvantages: You've got to motivate yourself!

...BSY offers over 250 courses for anyone to undertake at home (though some do require a final examination in a particular place). When I decided to get my life in order I looked for the cheapest and best place to do Pet Psychology and BSY won, so I rang them up and the really nice lady offered me a 2 for 1 deal and I'm now doing Holistic Animal Healing also. Now, I'm not the most motivated person in the world - bear in mind I started this in Jan 2006! Anyway, I've finally sent off my final examinations and hopefully I'll receive qualifications soon. Everything I received and needed for the course was sent through the post with envelopes to send it back once completed. I get to keep all the course materials too. I know that different courses require you to purchase your own equipment and take exams so I can only comment on the 2 above...
