Liverpool 789S 2020 Entry

Original post by gwilem

Morning SHOWEY,

Yes A2M = Access to Medicine.
Is everyone apart from Hannah moving to the Liverpool area for the course? Any plans on where you are going to live?

Good afternoon Will!

I figured it out eventually and posted it in an earlier post.
UoL doesn't refer to the course as Access to Medicine, that was why I didn't figure it out sooner and thought it was a code for another Health Study course.

I have to move to Liverpool, i.e buy a house... I am looking at somewhere equidistant between St Helens and UoL... God help me with that...

Same position I'm in by the sounds of it. I don't know the area at all so my current plan is to rent in St Helens for Y0 and then look to buy a place in Liverpool in time for the start of Y1.

Ah good plan! I honestly couldn’t comment on any areas in St Helen’s and Liverpool, I don’t know them well enough. It depends what type of place you’re looking for too- like student lifestyle or erm more mature student lifestyle haha!

As a suggestion, why don't you buy now that you can easily get a mortgage based on your current income which may take a hit when you start studying, hence, lenders would look at you less favourably?

Mainly anxiety around buying in a city I have visited once - for a cancelled interview. I have spent the last year working as a HCA in order to support my application/gain experience. I'm not sure lenders are going to look at me favourably currently!

How old are you showey if you don't mind me asking?

Has anyone started doing any preparatory studying for the course? If so what content have they been looking at? Has anyone spoken to anyone who is on the course this year? Any idea what the course specifically covers?
