University of Liverpool Accommodation Thread

Awesome I wasnt sure which accomodation to put, but seems like I did good. As Im unconditional Im definately moving into Derby and Rathbone on the 17th. Iv got a s/c and ensuite room. Think Im on the second floor as well. XD Rosheeny we could be sharing a kitchen, and hali0112 come to D&R!!! Although Im not quite a Med student (Vet Med) its close enough. Out of interest why do u want to be with other medics?

you're a vet med student heyyy. have you been on the vet med thread on here? or our facebook group? link for fb group on my signature if not, look forward to meeting you in september. been here this year on the new prevet course and stayed in halls (tudor close,mulberry court),
looking for private with one of my flatmates for this september though

Hi! congratulations on the unconditional offer! I don't really mind either way. it sounds like you have all your accomodation sorted. just out of interest, what made you choose derby and rathbone?

Cant seem to get on the facebook site but found the liverpool vet site! Sooo looking forward to it. And thats pretty awesome, I havent managed to look round Liverpool at all. Had to quickly go up there for my interview and thats it. Trouble with living so far away!

where are you from? Liverpool's amazing I really like it. ace night life and student prices as well. The accommodation Ive been in this year has been very close to everything (apart from my lessons because they were taught in st helens for the prevet year) 10 minutes walk to town, 2 to the vet school aceeee theres not much to not like to be honest Im sure you'll love it try this link for the fb group

Found the site anyway and joined lol. I live down in Kent so its a bit of a trek to get there and cant really do a day trip lol.

yeah just finished. year 0 foundations of veterinary science. why you ask?

oh cool, just wondered is all - i start at carmel college in sept and im stressing out a little bit! could you answer a few questions for me? im just wondering if transports gonna be a hassle cos im staying in D&R. did you have access to facilities at UoL? was it just like being a first year uni student? ahh whats the college like is it difficult?

any help appreciated

oh this is my account, other was my brothers thanks"!

I stayed on campus accommodation but apparently its easier to travel to carmel from D+R so good choice. travellings a bit of a pain tbh but you get used to it. From D+R I think its about 45 minutes of travelling. You'll need a bus pass. Last year I paid £205 for a pass from september to half way through april. (works out about £70 cheaper than getting the one til end of june because after april you'll only be in carmel 2 weeks at the most so I just bought day savers after that)
. In terms of being like a uni student I think you only really tend to feel like that if you're staying in liverpool but I did so yeah it kind of was for me. The lessons arent taught like uni lectures though more like classroom college style but for the nature of the year 0 I think its better that way, smaller groups (about 20 in a class) so if you're struggling its easier to ask for help as and when you need it.
You have access to all the UOL facilities, I used to use the library regularly. I wouldnt stress about it at all tbh all the staff are really friendly and living at uni has given me the best of both worlds really. Really enjoyed this year, year 0 is fast paced but if you keep up with the work you'll definitely pass.

Which course are you doing there? Im on here pretty much about 3 times a day so if you want to know anything else just let me know

Ah thanks for the reply, that was very helpful i am doing geography foundation so i dunno whether the class sizes will be very big! did you have to choose modules from like maths / physics / geog / ict ? and when you mentioned after april? only two weeks! i presume they just leave you to study until exams in june ? what time does the course / exams finish ? haha thanks alot

I've looked at the university accommodation and literally none of it appeals to me. Which private student accommodation would people recommend? I've looked around at plenty of places but I don't want to end up somewhere with a majority of second year students/people who already know each other etc.

Im having the same problem, just spent the last year in halls in liverpool and want private this year, struggling to say the least, think Im being a bit picky though tbh. It'll be my second year in liverpool but I'll be a first year (just done a foundation year)
I really want somewhere where I dont have to get a bus in but to be honest most of the private student accommodation is up near sefton park (smithdown road) ranges from 1-4 miles away from university depending how far you go out so its not too far (its about 10 mins on the bus) but Im being fussy haha.
Been looking at some of the private halls today, opal court is quite nice. Cambridge court is really nice aswel had friends staying there this year, but its a bit more pricey than the others. The only one Ive been warned against so far is North western hall (from the company cosmostudents) apparently its not worth the money and nothing ever gets fixed.
Good luck
