Liverpool Uni life
I’m hoping to go to uni in Liverpool later this year and was wondering what the cost of living is like. Considering I’m from Birmingham and haven’t travelled much, I think I need to be realistic if it’s going to be possible for me.
I currently work and will continue to anyway (round about 12k salary I’ll be dropping down to) and I will likely be getting the max maintenance so anything between 150-240 a week is what I’m aiming for

Accommodation costs are reasonable in Liverpool - anything from £5.5k per year upwards (including bills). Then your living costs will be determined by how often you eat out/have teakeaways, socialise, etc.

Hi There!
This is such a great question, and hopefully I'll be able to answer it for you. I'm not sure which Liverpool uni you are planning to study at, so I will tailor it towards John Moores, but most of this information is generic for Liverpool as a city.
If you are planning on working as well as studying you should be fine financially. But if you are struggling, LJMU has a hardship fund for its students, where the university will help you with your finances if you need it. If you are going to a different university, it would be worth looking at emergency funding they have in place.
In terms of accommodation, there is a wide range of places to choose from, starting from around £90, which you can choose depending on your budget.
If you want to look more into accommodation I'd recommend looking at our accommodation guide as it mentions budgeting and finance as well as the rent costs of different places.
In terms of budgeting, most students create budgets to live off throughout the year, and allocate how much money they need to spend on what per week. I try to do the 50/30/20 rule, where 50% of my budget goes on things I need like rent, bills, food etc. 20% goes on things I want, like nights out, meals out, socialising, and 30% of my budget is saved in the bank. This way works best for me, but everyone is different.
There are lots of ways to save money, for example start shopping at places like Lidl or Aldi, and avoid buying produce with brand names. You can also sign up to student discount apps like Student Beans or UniDays.
I hope this helps. Just remember that if you do find yourself struggling, the uni is there to help and support you however it can.
All the best,

thanks! this helped a lot. I'm looking at mainly studios as im quite fussy with my personal space and im going through the process of being diagnosed with autism and adhd. Most of the places im looking at are arounf 140-180 a week which will probably eat into the 50/30/20 rule I follow too. I'll likely be getting a maintanace loan to help with accomodation but i also work (ill be dropping down to around 12-16 hours)
either ljmu or uol ill be trying to get into

EDITED AS MESSED UP CALCULATION
Hi, as Uni of Liverpool hasn't posted, I thought, since LJMU's rep has posted, I'd post (been to Liverpool Hope University and University of Liverpool, though I'm not a rep of either) - and remember when working out a cost based on a weekly accommodation price, the monthly cost is usually calculated by the following formula - weekly price x 52 (because 52 weeks in a year) then the total divided by 12, because our months don't have exactly 4 weeks in them (this figure may be calculated differently depending on the length of your accommodation contract and what formula the university uses) - and remember prices may rise slightly with any uni, including LJMU, before September 2025:
Liverpool Hope University:
Their main campus is actually nowhere near the city centre (it's in Childwall), though they do put on a free bus during term time, going to the main campus (Hope Park), Creative Campus, and the Aigburth Campus. However, I frequently found this was too packed and had to wait for the next one. The main campus accommodation starts at £115 a week up to £125 for shared accommodation, going up to £135 a week for ensuite (this means it has a room with a bath or shower with a sink and a toilet). All the uni-run accommodation near the main campus is for 1st year undergraduates only.
The Creative Campus is basically in the city centre as long as you can walk easily - technically it's in Everton but it's only just past the border sign; probably a 10/15 minute walk to the nearest shops / Lidl; maybe less as I walk slow. In case it's relevant, the Lidl has self-service checkouts so most of the time, the normal checkouts have nobody on them. Accommodation via the uni is currently £115 a week (ensuite). The uni is currently working on the accommodation and if the work is not completed by September, you may be temporarily put somewhere else. The accommodation is for 1st year undergraduates and returning undergraduates.
Aigburth Campus is nowhere near the city centre - accommodation is £100 a week (shared) or £115 (ensuite). Open to a variety of different types of students (e.g. undergraduate, except one of the accommodation choices), depending which accommodation is chosen.
There is a Student Support Fund which used to only be for undergraduates (caused me immense stress as there was absolutely no financial support for master's students) but it's apparently now been opened to PGCE and Master's students as well as undergraduates.
In case it's relevant: It doesn't look like any of the Liverpool Hope Uni-owned accommodation has parking facilities, however, it appears that there is parking on the university campus for a fee (currently £2 all day, though overnight parking is only allowed if you have a Residential Permit at a cost of £200 a year and only available to students with blue badges (with minor exceptions), and spaces are not guaranteed).
University of Liverpool:
A variety of accommodation, starting at £105 a week but most of the accommodation is at crazy "let's rip off students" prices, over £150 a week, even over £200. However, they also partner with 3 private providers (e.g. Agnes Jones, starting at £111 a week non-suite, though it does go up to crazy prices). Most of the accommodation allocated by University of Liverpool doesn't have parking and if it does, it's extra cost and may be subject to specific requirements (e.g. blue badge).
The University also has a Hardship Fund hardship fund, which I've used and which awarded some money, but it took ages to get and I was worried I'd have to leave my course, so don't wait until the last minute if you are struggling financially (regardless of which university in Liverpool you go to).
There is private accommodation that you can apply for yourself, but it's important to apply in plenty of time once you have an unconditional offer (same applies if you go for uni-owned accommodation), as places can fill up quickly. Some have parking (usually at an extra cost), some (probably most) don't.
Some of the private accommodation is cheaper then Uni of Liverpool, some rips students off. Warning though: Cloud Student accommodation (doesn't have a car park, by the way) is terrible for meeting people and getting mail, as the common room is in a dingy area in the basement that hardly anyone goes to and when I was there, it was usually locked; people had to ask for it to be opened, and there is rarely a staff member on reception (and delivery people aren't going to stand around waiting for student ambassadors - people who are there instead of employing actual staff - to answer the phone when the number keeps changing).
With University of Liverpool, if you haven't got things you need (accommodation info, course start date, etc.), ask them, as they are extremely disorganised and I missed out on a lot of stuff as a result. I discovered well into my course that they have a Welcome Page which would have been immensely useful. It currently only applies to January intake students but can give you a bit of an idea of what to expect.
Whilst the funds (Student Support Fund for LHU and Hardship Fund for UoL and the one for LJMU that their rep mentioned) can be useful, they are not guaranteed - they require an application and are assessed based on your circumstances. And the funds are limited and they generally also close at some point during the year.
Cost of groceries isn't too bad - near UoL (Uni of Liverpool) there's Heron near the campus (good for frozen food, though space in a student flat's freezer will be limited), Aldi about a 15-minute walk away (has self-service checkouts). Lidl is about a 10/15 minute walk from LHU (Liverpool Hope University) Creative Campus. Not sure about their other campuses. Maybe same for LJMU.
Realistically, £150 a week probably won't cut it if that includes accommodation, £240 a week might just cut it if you manage to get cheap enough accommodation and don't drive. If your figures are the amounts outside of accommodation cost (e.g. if you've budgeted for accommodation separately), then £240 a week is plenty even if you occasionally have a night out (as long as you don't spend like crazy) and £150 a week should be fine too. Look for the cheaper foods (e.g. Tesco's cheaper fake brands - though the nearest big Tesco is quite a walk away from any of the LHU / UoL campuses, Lidl Simply - their budget brand, though it's not got loads, Aldi Essentials - their budget brand, though it's also not got loads, etc. and don't be tempted to rely on Tesco Express).
Obviously there are other expenses like washing clothes, buying toiletries (shower gel etc.), etc.
So, in summary, different accommodations options, private might be cheaper, there are funds you can apply to but they're not guaranteed, £240 a week might be enough if you get cheap enough accommodation, £150 probably won't be enough for accommodation and everything else.
And of course there's travel costs (e.g. going to the uni in the first place, going back home for Christmas if it's not practical for your parents to pick you up, etc.).

Oh and I forgot to mention: If you go to University of Liverpool, try to avoid eating via either the campus shop or Union Brew - they're both run by the Students' Union (The Guild), so you'd probably expect them to be cheap, but even Tesco Express is cheaper than the shop for sandwiches, and Union Brew (used to be a Starbucks, was taken over by the University) has signs that say "student prices" but they're absolutely not - they're more like Starbucks or Costa prices; very expensive. And I don't know if it's still the case but they used to only accept card payments, just letting you know in case that's important. The main Student's Union cafe (The Courtyard) might not be too badly priced but a friend of mine could never eat there as the cafe only allowed orders via their app and the WiFi was unreliable. It's a stupid system that has resulted in lots of people getting their food elsewhere instead of money going into the Union. They have signs outside now desperately trying to get people to use the cafe.

by HonestStudent... and remember when working out a cost based on a weekly accommodation price, the monthly cost is usually calculated by the following formula - weekly price x 52 x 12, because our months don't have exactly 4 weeks in them
The price for private rentals is usually weekly price x 52 (or 51).
Halls of residence (both uni and private) usually give shorter-term options of 39 or 44 weeks, so the formula would be weekly price x 39 (or 44).

I messed it up anyway, put multiply instead of divide for the last bit.

You should probably start a new thread. Anyway you've probably got a better chance advertising on Spare Room website or putting up posters at your uni. Or advertising on social media. Regardless, make sure everything is above board and cleared with the landlord / agency.

thank you so much for accomodation I'm looking for 150-240 a week and anything else (food ,outings etc.) Im looking to spend about 200 max a week. Not sure if I'm going to be able to pull it off but the closer I get the more easily everything is coming to me. Thanks so much for yhe insight on locations and whatnot for both UoL and LJMU

Ah if that first amount of £150 to £240 a week is just for accommodation and you've got £200 a week afterwards for food, you should be fine as long as you get the cheaper accommodation (the ones that are closer to £100 a week rather than the ones that are closer to £200 a week, which quite frankly is the universities and private accommodation both ripping off students, especially when it's not even ensuite), though bear in mind the way the monthly rent might be calculated.
Technically you could probably manage with the higher cost accommodation but it's a good idea to save some for unforeseen circumstances. Still worth budgeting and seeing if you can apply to whatever support / hardship fund the uni you go to has. Most universities have some sort of support fund though they're all discretionary and not guaranteed and some only available to particular types of student (e.g. undergraduates - as mentioned, LHU's fund used to only be for undergraduates).
Some also have scholarships e.g. if you're a genius or something.
