University of Liverpool Accommodation Thread

Does anyone know what Roscoe & Gladstone (R&G) is like? I put it down as my third choice, what's like compared to Derby & Rathbone, or any other halls?
Muchos appreciate x

Does anyone know whether you can change your preferences for accommodation? I think I want to swap Vine Court for a different one but I can't seem to find a way to do so!

Hey,

I posted a thread a while ago but it didn't get a response.

Anyway, I was just wondering what everyone thought the nicest private halls are? I'm a 2nd year student going into my 3rd year in September and I live at home at the moment. I'm a bit isolated with friends and stuff because I live away from home so don't really have anyone to move in with so I was looking at private halls.

There are loads though, and I've read good and bad about all of them. Ideally I'd want to be with other 2nd/3rd year students, and not pay more than £100 a week or so (with bills), although I could maybe stretch a bit further with the 43 week lets. I'd also like a double or 3/4 size bed if possible, seeing as the normal halls beds are often very narrow. Does anyone know of any way I could guarantee any of these things? And which are the nicest private halls, or the ones to avoid?

Thanks

ed: I want to add as well that I might not be able to move out of home (financially) so this may be a late decision, like in July or August, hopefully before A level results and stuff though. How likely would it be that there would even be free rooms in private halls at that time?

If you can't get back onto your application to change it, maybe email [email protected] to see how you can change your preference

i've recently recieved a conditional offer for medicine in liverpool but i'm stuck on what accomadation to apply for? is melville court filled with postgrads and international students? and is derby and rathbone any good?
i would really appreciate any help lol

I've applied for Prospect Point, people say not to go on campus but i think i'd prefer it cuz i know for a fact i wouldnt be able to wake up early for a bus lmao. Its an ensuite an £98 a week i thinkkk, hope this helps abit

Yeah i put prospect point first then melville and then philharmonic i really hope I get in what course are you doing?
everyone says prospect point is full of medicine, dentistry and vetinary

Inoo and i've heard abit of people saying its not as social, & accounting if i get the grades lmaoo fingers crossedd, how about youu?x

yeah i was worried it would be antisocial because i loooove to PARTY :P i'm doing medicine hopefully if i get the grades x

:/ i derby and rathbone islike 45mins away so you haveto get a bus..but apparently it has amazing parties :P

I applied for Prospect Point as my first accommodation choice, it's much better than the others! It's not like there's gonna be no one there. There will be plenty of people to socialise with, and you get an en-suite and it's 5 minutes away from uni! I think it's a bit daft to go off campus really because it looks a bit crappy and you share a bathroom with others, plus the cost of a bus pass and a 30 minute+ wait for a bus.

I love prospect point. Maybe I'll see you there!

I've got a conditional for English & History! Derby & Rathbone 1st & 2nd choice, love that I could get a mini campus AND a city uni all in one. Plus, it's nearer to the hockey pitches Always a good point.
I'm planning to (hopefully) cycle to and from uni, seems like the bus service isnt all that, anyone know how quick it is to cycle or if its even possible?

Yeah it defo looks like the nicest halls. i'm sure we can mare our own fun :P what are you studying there?
