University of Liverpool Accommodation Thread

Currently a first year student living in greenbank halls. I found it really hard to find any info last year about halls so thought I would help abit. The off campus (greenbank and Carnatic) are probably a bit more socialable and most of these places are catered. Catered is good as going for meals becomes quite socialable. Food is okay. Can kitchen sizes vary. Most people will get one of these two over on campus (vine court and crown) even if you put none of these in your options it's really **** how they do it. I would say greenbank food is slightly better due to the less volume of people to serve. Rankin is probably the best hall facilities wise as tey renovated it a couple of years ago to give a social area. Any questions feel free to contact me.

Do you happen to know anything about the large Studio rooms in vine court ? Or have any pictures ? Can't seem to find any online

I have a problem, I am 100% sure I want to live in crown because it's cheaper I can make my own food and it's close to the city however my parents (who are paying for the Acomadation) are 100% that Carnatic is the right place so I want be placed with non English speaking students, I'll be fed and they see it as more sociable, I disagree. Anyone know any ways of changing their minds? I can't afford to pay myself 😩

Could anyone give me some advice on accommodation? I'm applying a bit late and just looking at my options here.. (coming from NI)

Preferably like to be on campus as I've heard buses etc are a pain. I like the look of Crown Place. Vine Court is a bit more expensive and it seems to be more pointed towards 2nd year students?

What halls are the best for a 'student experience'? I'd rather be in halls with other first years and be sociable. Any advice at all on the halls would be great.

Hey guys, I'm a first year at the moment at University of Liverpool.

I'm actually in Melville Grove but I have friends in every single accomodation that is around. I think I really enjoyed living on campus due to the short walk to Uni in the morning and also not having to pay for taxi's to get into town. You will find that most freshers will want to go out a lot to start with but you will actually start getting bored with drinking towards the end of the year so try not to base your decisions on that. The private halls are actually usually full of international students and I know friends that have hated living there as they didn't really talk to the people in their flat. Vine Court can be sociable if you want to go catered and it's actually not as bad as you think it is going to be (so I have heard) but you can choose the self-catered option if you want. Crown Place is probably the best thing that you are going to get and the halls are absolutely amazing!

I still think it's worth you considering Carnatic as it is 100% the most sociable halls and if you are looking to have a good time and meet loads of people, then try Salisbury or Rankin which are the best two there. It's cheap, it's not that bad and they are all crazy drinkers over there! Just be prepared to get the bus early in the morning with a big hangover!

Hope this helped x

Is there anybody who actually lived in Crown Place who can share their experience? I'm hoping to study Politics next year and applied for Crown Place but all of this talk about it being unsociable is making me worried
