The University of Liverpool, Liverpool Reviews

I'm in my first year and have been at uni for almost 2 months now and it's amazing. I think one of the most important things about picking a uni is definitely the city it's in and Liverpool is such a diverse and beautiful city.

Wonderful campus with some great buildings opening at the minute. The union put on a number of great events so there's pretty much always something to do. I've found the help I've receuved whilst doing my Law course has been great. Only complaint is the libraries are too small!

The facilities are new and state of the art, the lecturers are fantastic and everyone is very friendly. The only improvement would be the online services.

Very well designed university however lacks large social spaces and could have more communal areas and study spaces

The University Of Liverpool has a broad range of teachers that are in the depths of research each having a strong and enthusiastic link to what they are lecturing on making lectures more current and interesting.

Most of the university is gorgeous and pretty big. The libraries both have great facilities and PC's are always avaiable. The gym is great (if a little expensive) and there is always something going on at the Guild Square. Facilities are great too and most of the lecture theatres are comfortable.

It is a busy environment with it being in the city centre, lots to do, with lots of places to socialise with friends but also study. The course is difficult but manageable not too many hours. Some of the buildings need updating

The campus is so easy to find and very convenient for those commuting as it is less than a 10 minuite wall from lime street. All staff I’ve experieinced are friendly and always happy to help aswell as extremely understanding. The student union or the guild is wonderful and full of ways for you to get indulged in university life.

The facilities of the univeristy are excellent with up to date technologies across the different courses. The buildings are well maintained and there are many facilities available for use including social areas, study areas and places for students to hold events and societies. The student union is amazing, with brilliant support mechanisms it is extremely student orientated with students voting on who runs the union. The union provide advice and support in many aspects, including but not limited to, financially, starting or parttaking in societies, organising fundraisers and wellbeing support. My course is nursing and it is extremely busy and intense at times however all lecturers are supportive and are available for advice as needed. They support us throughout our long intense placements and stressful exam periods and have an open door policy, very friendly and approachable. The two libraries are distributed around camps and are very accessbloble to students with great materials and up to date books. They have study spaces however, during exam season it is often difficult to find a place to study so there may be possible need for more study areas. The campus generally has many other facilities available for students including banks, shops and food chains, pubs to socialise in and advice organisations.

Everything is on campus: teaching buildings, bar, music venue, fast food, coffee shops and GP Uni has a student support centre and careers services Halls on and off campus

The University offers extensive programmes including a year abroad. They also offer a very helpful student Union. Only downside is support available on course including job opportunities.

Great university, I am going to miss my time here. The only thing I would say is that for subjects like ecology and marine biology, don't take the life sciences modules as lecturers often skip over relavent content they have taught in another life science module that isnt available for you to take as an option.

The library is good even if it is getting a bit crowded. The campus itself is pretty shame some of the buildings ruin it.

The University of Liverpool is a lovely campus situated just a 10 minute walk away from the city centre. The main Victoria Building is the famous 'red brick' building and houses a museum The university has two main libraries - the Sydney Jones (for arts and humanities students) and the Harold Cohen (for science and medical students). Both libraries are equipped with a wealth of books, facilities and open 24 hours. However, they suffer from being extremely busy during exam time and having poor temperature regulation! There are a number of state of the art new lecture theatres and learning spaces that have been opened up in the past few years, which provide a better environment to learn in than previously. Also, the new Guild (student union) is fantastic and has plenty of space to chill, as well as a wealth of decent food options - the burritos are a favourite. However, the disappointing lack of club nights there leaves a lot to be desired. After Freshers week, there only seems to be around 3 more nights there during the year which is poor compared to other unis like Sheffield. The gym is extremely well equipped and state of the art, but seems to be a rather unpopular choice due to its extremely high price (which is apparently subsidised for students...) This is unacceptable considering that LJMU students get a free gym membership, and most gyms in Liverpool city centre such as The Gym and PureGym are a lot cheaper anyway.

Buildings and lecture halls are adequate though the math department should receive more funding. The support from lecturers varies depending on the individual, some are more caring, others indifferent. Study materials are provided online on a blackboard portal, tutorials are sometimes helpful if utilised effectively. Communication with lecturers via email can be hit and miss, some with fast response rate and some who appear to ignore you. There are many places to get advice and guidance if needed. The counselling service is available but often oversubscribed with long waiting lists. Student life itself seems decent enough, many events and activities often ongoing throughout the year and many clubs to join. The city is relatively inexpensive to live with a large range of student accommodation to choose from, many luxury city centre apartments at affordable prices. Shopping and restaurants are very good.

Great campus, great course. Timetable sucks! Buildings too old and too hot. Library and facilities are good.

The university overall is pretty poor, the way the lecturers handle the students is shocking. Work takes weeks on weeks to come back and they regularly cancel lectures. The only good thing about Uni of is the location and the nightlife involves. would still recommend

The city and campus itself are lovely, very modern and all so close together making it miles easier on uni days. The guild is a little small and the lack of trips that the uni provide is not the best. Also, it would benefit much more to have all lectures recorded rather than only some modules

The University of Liverpool is a dynamic school with tons of courses to chooses from and amazing facilities. It is situated 10-15 minutes away from town, 20-30 minutes away from the docks. This makes uni life much more interesting as there’s always so much to see, freshen up your mind, and stay inspired. University of Liverpool also has a wide variety of clubs and societies to choose from, with a diverse student base. You’ll get to mingle with people from all parts of the world and expand your views. The halls are also very well kept. Cleaners come in quite often to make sure halls are clean and tidy after your Monday night rager!

The campus may not be as beautiful compared to some other campuses but there are all sorts of facilities and two libraries as well, which is important for students.

My first year at university was great! The accommodation (Melville Grove) was perfect, close to campus and everyone was so lovely! Second year has been much more disorganised with a much larger commute to uni! The library has increased its capacity however which as been an improvement especially around exam season!

Good campus located fairly close to the city centre, some lecture theatres are very outdated though, lecturers mostly read off the slides but i'm assuming thats the same with every university. Having its' Russell Group status removed next year. Still a good laugh
