University of Liverpool Accomodation

Hi

I have an unconditional for Liverpool. I phoned the accommodation office the other day and they told me applications for accommodation start in March, I told them I had an unconditional and they said that it would be no problem to get your first choice of accommodation if you apply in March. I want to live in the on campus accommodation and as far as i know It's quite hard to get a place...

Hope that helps

I'm not totally sure but all the on campus accommodation is within walking distance of each other. So all departments would be in close proximity.

There's videos on the accommodation website that might give you a better idea.

You could contact the accommodation officer on 0151 795 0377

From someone in their first year at Liverpool (finch21: also doing Law LLB) I really would advise living on the carnatic or greenbank sites in your first year. This is where most undergrads tend to go and where, in my opinion, you're more likely to make friends - they're very sociable places! The transport issue is not a problem, buses are every 10 minutes and EVERYONE is in the same boat.

The on campus accommodation tends to be exclusive to international and postgraduate students, who culturally, tend to keep themselves to themselves.

That's my advice!

I'm staying in Roscoe and Gladstone on the greenbank site. Which, is the most modern off campus accommodation. I'd say one of the only downsides to the off campus accommodation is, apart from a few places in derby and rathbone, it's all catered - which can be a hassle sometimes. But as i said before, everyone is in the same boat and it's a sociable thing eating together at tea and breakfast - i often see people from my course in the canteen too and have a chat.

The vast majority of undergraduates (who aren't overseas students) live off campus in either greenbank or carnatic... (in fact, i don't think i've ever seen a postgrad here). So you're really getting the best of the 'social' life off campus tbh!

Was just wondering whether anyone knows anything about the Prospect Point accomodation?

I went to the accomodation open day last week and was shocked by the accomodation. Especially compared to Sheffield Uni which was like a palace in comparison! I visited Carnatic, and Mulberry. Carnatic i thought was horrible, the only good bit being the bit with the bar, which i thought would help me meet lots of friends. Mulberry court, was disgusting, the floor boards creaked as you walked in, it smelt funny, was dull, and walls were brown. I didn't visit Greenbank, which from this forum appears to have the best reviews.

The last place i looked at was Prospect Point which was absolutely gorgeous. All rooms were ensuite, they were big, brand new, the shared kitchen/living room came with a leather couch, the rooms were all white, had lovely bathrooms and kitchens. My only worry would be that i wouldn't meet friends there because there wasnt any mutual place, like at carnatic, where everyone can meet together. Also, the boy who showed me around the accomodation seemed to enjoy his own space, and just want to get his work done in his room without really leaving it. Was wondering whether anyone has been to Prospect Point or knows of anyone who goes there, how they found it? etc.

Any replies are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Anything else you want to know pm/ quote me and i'll reply! What course you studying for idesofmarch?

Does anyone go to any private accomodation? Such as Opal Court, Prospect Point, Lennon Studios, Capital Gate etc?

I'll be a first year Law student and worried that i won't feel part of student life, despite the fact that this accomodation is much nicer than the uni off campus accomodation.

Hi, I went to the accom open day and visited philharmonic and mulberry which were both quite frankly gross and smelly!!! prospect point looks like a much better option but like you i'm worried that it won't be full of undergrads and more older students wanting to work the day away...
