My daughter went to Liverpool and she loved it.
What you think is a pro others may think of as a con (and vice versa) so you need to decide for yourself what’s important to you.
Things I’d suggest you consider first and foremost are the methods of teaching/learning and whether they suit you. Then consider whether you’d be happy living for three years in the city and then moving out to the Wirral for your final two years.
Liverpool has very minimal animal handling in the first three years so if you want a hands-on experience from day one then you may want to consider applying elsewhere.

Thanks for the insight. Yeah I've read that Liverpool has minimal animal handling, so I'm a bit concerned that there would be difficulties during EMS, especially since I don't have a pet 😅. Did your daughter struggled with the EMS?

No, not at all as we’ve had all sorts of pets over the years plus she had her own horses and ponies from a very young age.
She always knew she wanted to be a vet so she started getting WEX in from the age of 14.
