Official Liverpool John Moores University 2021 applicant thread

I've been looking at Marybone 1, Grand Central and Atlantic Point for accommodation. Anyone have any opinions on these?

Yeah, that’s fair. Horizon’s so expensive! I’m gonna be staying in Moorfield for first year cause it’s fairly cheap, a big room, and is an en-suite!
All I know about the inside of grand central is a tiktok of the one flat that has a leak, broken doors, and ugly curtains. Hopefully it’s not all like that

What is Horizon Heights like? Is there specific accommodations that are better for first years?

Don’t listen to this rubbish @Uni17 I am the new and improved uni17 X1000!!!!

What is Horizon Heights like? Is there specific accommodations that are better for first years?

Okay thank you, so would you maybe not recommend horizon heights and one closer to the campus?

Honestly, it’s up to you. Accommodation near your campus means it’s likely you’ll be with people on your course. Plus you’re closer to the libraries. And walks to lectures are faster! Whereas Horizon’s right next to lime street train station, which could be helpful for visiting home. Plus it’s directly opposite st johns shopping centre in the city centre which has food stores and fast food restaurants.

Hi 🖐🏻 I’ve got an unconditional offer to study Bsc Forensic Anthropology this year at LJMU be good to hear of others on the course

Hi! I’m Kira. I’ve only met one other person doing the course so far (besides my foundation year classmates if we all get the grades) and they had the surname Fern. That’s not you is it?

Hi thanks for getting back 🖐🏻 no that’s no me, Ferns my dogs name!
So did you do the foundation year in the forensic anthropology?

Aww cute!
Yeah semester 2 of foundation year starts tomorrow!

Brilliant! How are you finding it so far?
I’ve been made offers from universities but the Bsc Forensic Anthropology course really stands out.
How do you find the university as a whole along with facilities and course content? 🌱

The university is awesome! There’s a bone room with a huge deer skull along with hundreds of bones that are used in lessons. All the teachers seem amazing! Plus the uni is super close to the town centre which is a bonus

The sounds great. Do they take you guys on field trips and excavation exercises? 💀

They’re supposed to, yeah. Haven’t yet cause of covid. I’m super excited for the first year trips cause the lecturers all keep talking about how great they’re gonna be!
There’s a cemetery in chester that the FA course visits

That’s the one thing I’m apprehensive about. If I accept and with the current situation, how that’s going to impact learning & field trips.
The grave excavations sound so interesting! So are you learning all online atm? 🧙🏻*♂️

The course head is trying his hardest to make sure trips are still able to happen as the course is accredited and it could lose that accreditation without certain field trips.
Yeah, it’s all online right now. Cause most students are stuck at home. It’s actually not too hard to keep track of things though I do miss being in the classrooms
