What's it like living in Liverpool?

Probably very much like every other major city in the UK?
Good nightlife though, although I'd imagine there's a few pubs you want to avoid depending on what football team you support.

I'm so stuck with which uni to go to!

I like Liverpool as a place to visit, but I can't imagine what it's like to actually live there.

I'm only gonna have 10 hours a week in uni so I'm gonna have a lot of spare time on my hands don't know if thats a good or bad thing to be honest..

Jus wondering what Liverpools like to live in and what students do in their spare time, I don't even do sport so I can't do that to fill my time either!

The city is great for students! with 4 or 5 universities (depending on whether you class LIPA as a university) the city is very much a 'student city'.

The city has venues for all interest groups, all music affiliations, and great provision for shopping with the recently built L1 (LiverpoolOne)

It is also ranked the second cheapest place to live for students in the UK.

I have lived in and around the area my entire life, (20 years) and I have never encountered anti-social behaviour. The preconception that people have about Liverpool, (specifically the association with scousers being theives) is totally inaccurate and the city has been and still is undergoing major regeneration with billions of pounds of development grants funded from the European development budget, following the capital of culture year.

I think it's a really great city in which to experience university life, you will never be short of a place to eat, sleep, shop, party, drink, socialise! If I hadn't lived here all my life and known the area so explicity, I would have no problem studying in Liverpool, I just want to experience other places. I have friends who also live in Liverpool who refuse to leave the city for their university experience.

Nothing like that in the City centre where students would go. There are the obvious ones to avoid depending on allegiances though such as Aldo's bar (it being part-owned by John Aldridge).

There are a very very small number outside of the city centre as well, but most Liverpool and Everton supporters get on very well.

Never a day where there's nothing to do...LITERALLY

Aye, I'll agree with this, though my days seem to be mostly work at the moment

come to liverpool, you wont regret it!

Never a day where there's nothing to do...LITERALLY

Well, there are definitely things to do. Great shopping areas, good nightlife... Beatles museum. I couldn't imagine living there though.

Really? What do you do like? I cnt imagine going shopping and stuff everyday...

When I seriously think about it its like Bangor has got a better Psychology department and I probably would have fun there but its just gonna be the same as everything I know already. Same places as I go out now.. same people! And I really want my independence. I'm just worried about getting bored in Liverpool.. if I was only in 3 days a week I could get a job but its not that easy to get a job these days lol.

And I really wanna quit my current job...
