University of Liverpool Accommodation Thread

The recent shootings and stabbings perhaps? You only have to drive through it to realise its a rough place. 60% of the houses are boarded up.

understandable, hes a ****.

fights outside clubs are common anywhere.

true but the fact your trying to say liverpool isnt a rough place is hilarious.

it really isnt. some areas are, as a whole its fine.

Hey I've got a conditional offer for dentistry, and I've chosen prospect point as it's pretty close to the centre and I don't think I could get up early enough to wait for a bus I wouldn't really suggest melville court, when I went to the accom open day it seemed really quite and secluded. Carnatic and Greenbank is where most 1st years go, and it is really studenty there, but you have to get the bus in to campus, and apparently at greenbank you may have to wait around 40mins for a bus. On campus, mulberry court and philharmonic seem pretty studenty, but they're quite old (creaky floorboard etc). Vine court looks like it will be quite good and full of first years, but it's £120-150 per week. I think the Uni are making Prospect point more a first year place, prospect point is ensuite, self catering and 5 mins from the main campus and town. Sorry for the long paragraph x

name one part of Liverpool which isnt rough?

I've recently graduated from The Uni of Livs and I would strongly recommend the Carnatic/Greenbank off campus accommodation. Whilst it may not be extremely beautiful accommodation the social life is fantastic. I applied for Mulberry court and Philharmonic however they were more for older students, people who had deferred entry, international students. If you want fun as a first year then halls is great. I was placed in Rankin Hall, Carnatic. However having said that there are some new halls on campus that are nearly finished being built...

Depends what you're after with regards to accommodation, but if you've already made your choice I am sure you'll make the best of wherever you're placed

Liverpool is the best city for social and nightlife, so I doubt you'll be in your accommodation much in first year anyway!

Hey thanks for the advice I've already applied for the campus ones, mainly because I don't think I would get up in time to catch the bus but hey ho I'll probably join some societies and whatnots anyway... by the way are there any student societies you would recommend joining?

Absolutely fair play to you on that one I think you'll have a wonderful time here (biased as I am) wherever you live.

Oooh good societies, well depending on where your interests lie, if you like writing like I do there's a good set of magazines and the online student newspaper to get involved in, if you like music and performing music there's band societies, orchestras and choirs. If you relish art, and drawing, there's life class society and then there's active promoting things like 'equal rights' and things like that if you're into getting your voice heard. Volunteering, RAG (raise and give) always good for the spare time, but the society for your course is a definite good one to join, I guarantee. Aside from that, there's tonnes of sports, including fencing, judo and even surfing!
Or there's drama soc (they're great) and photography, if you're creative. Honestly, i'm beginning to sound like a prospectus but if you can deduce anything from my essay of information overload is that there's a wealth of choice of societies.
If you want any advice about Liverpool, ever, feel free to PM me at any time. I've worked many open days as a representative so i'm used to lots of questions
