I dropped out after 2 months, staff don’t care or try at all until you leave and they want your money. Really wouldn’t recommend going here. No community feel at all, and lots of other people I knew felt the same. Really do cling onto the Russel Group title, probably not much else going for them...
Bradley can teach me matrices anytime
Three star for club and student union because I didn't join any of them. I thus give s the neutral score.
Lovely community lovely people easy to settle in to
Nice and close to my accommodation that I live in. Nice peoples
Great atmosphere and learning facilities
The school is great and the facilities are great. Very good student support and career services
The university itself is wide and the staff is going to help a lot. I hate studying and I hate living here because I am an international student, but other friends are happy.
The university is placed in a good part of the city. Only a ten-minute walk to the city centre. Very good support inside the school and staffs are approachable and friendly.
The Uni provided very good facilities for studying and doing laboratory. The staff are very helpful, especially Faye

Avoid at all costs. Attended this University for my second degree and quite frankly they do not cater to mature students or students with challenging personal circumstances. Lectures are very patronising and have lack of empathy. It's all about money rather than student welfare. Worst decision I ever mind, I've decided to transfer to a different University.
This is the most disorganised University in the world! However, the teaching is outstanding.
Do not go to this university! It is the worst around. They take your money and offer poor service if you are a disabled student and gay. The teaching staff are judgmental and snobbish. The buildings are not accessible if you are in a wheelchair or mobility issues. They do not have the services that you need in the first semester, setting you up for failure. They generally do not accommodate students with mental health or other disabilities and often the lectures would put down the mature students in front of the younger students as to not offend or upset the younger students. They even discriminate their own staff with disabilities.
Beautiful Scenery, very cosmopolitan, close to city center and accomodation
Seems great for STEM subjects, humanities subjects are sadly left behind and entirely underfunded. Don't even have a dedicated building for English. Very difficult to make friends at all, all friendships are made in halls, have yet to come across anyone on my English course who has made friends. Campus is ok, nothing too special but not bad. Library is too small for the amount of students and is impossible to get a seat most days. Not much sense of campus community. Just seems a money making exercise on the whole with not much else.
I like the apartment, staff are helpful.
This uni feels like home, I love living in Liverpool! Whilst there could be a lot more academic and mental support, everything else is pretty good!
Decent Uni but it seems like money is the only incentive here.
University of Liverpool's students union is the best
Honestly just a great experience, with great teaching and great people.
Very poor university. My grandmother passed away, as a result I had to go home - handle most funeral and other issues myself due to unfortunate circumstances. With this in mind and her personally funding me through university - you would expect this brought me all kinds of issues from mental to finance. After explaining this to the university and my tutors, I was given 2 days extra deadline to complete my coursework, which I thought personally was an absolute abomination, also after taking time off I was subject to letters being sent home, but no help or face to face chats with any member of staff - also being ignored by my tutor. After the funeral and I returned, I was greeted with quite substantial financial issues, I took up a part time job but the university refused to help relocate me or help me with any kind of hardship fund, I had to stay inside everyday for weeks eating rice and noodles because I couldn't even afford basic food. I moved university - best choice I made.
The university is OK however get the impression a lot of the staff are demoralised. Some of the lecturers in the psychology department are great others are frankly awful. Too many students not enough facilities greed seems to be the order of the day, Liverpool uni has been slipping down the rankings and I can see why, a terrible shame.
Disgusting university doesn't care about anything other than money. Doesnt offer any help through personal issues and lecturers are patronising.
Couldn't have imagined myself anywhere else. Lovely and friendly vibes around both the campus and the city. Also there are lots of academic recourses available to students, and always academic/personal help available when needed.
OK - lots of online courses. I'd expect a face to face with a professor and I think you get that at most unis.
I joined Liverpool University this year after getting the required A-levels. Since joining I have not enjoyed my experience. They use a system called vital to assess and also provide information but this is often very confusing and also slow. Furthermore, maintenance work on this has led to me failing some assignments as i have been cut off the internet. I would recommend going to another Uni, definitely should not be a Russel group.
It is very easy to feel at home in Liverpool and everyone is very friendly. The city is amazing and so easy to find your way around! The university itself has invested alot of money into refurbishment over the past few years. including both libraries, the student union, hall of residents and new teaching facilities. The Guild (student union) is always full of life and offering a whole host of societies (sports, volunteering, social etc). There are also regular jobs fairs, both part time and graduate entry. The IT facilities around campus are superb, with free wifi pretty much everywhere on campus. Hundreds of computers available, with library computers accessible 24/7 during term times. There are also laptops available to borrow within the library. However it is quite concerning to see signs around campus advertising "£240 million being invested into accommodation" when tuition fees are so high and the teaching standards seem to be slacking massively in some areas.
It is very easy to feel at home in Liverpool and everyone is very friendly. The city is amazing! The main downside is in 2nd year a large number of international students join your course. During 1st year there were only 80 people in my year which was almost perfect, in 2nd and 3rd year this went up to 280 students!!! Unfortunately with very little increase in tutor/ student ratios for tutorials. This meant that when results became important we had much less contact time.... Another gripe would be some of the lecturers. Many are brilliant, very knowledgeable and easy to approach with questions. However there are too many who read word for word off power points, some of which are not even their own work. One lecturer spent the majority of the semester off loading their job onto postgrad students. We ended up with a semester of disjointed notes and powerpoint slides which flicked between a whole host of subjects, none of which went into sufficient detail to make them of any use.
The ratings do not include faculty/teaching/student support - if there is anything less than a one-star I would select it.
Careers service is extremely helpful
The staff are amaingly helpful, its perfecy situated in the heart of the city and everything you need is neraby.
Absolutely brilliant university in every way. 100% recommend.
Really good student atmosphere. wifi pretty much everywhere and it's only slow in the library! Loads of clubs and societies and lots of facilities :)
Great nightlife, friendly people, great lecturers, close to city centre, great opportunities.
Liverpool was not originally my top choice....but i can honestly say I could not be happier to live and study here! As soon as a spent my first night here i felt right at home. The guild is so welcoming and you feel part of the uni the moment you enter. The city is full of quirky hope, cafes and bars there is always something interesting happening. The campus is beautiful with state if the art architecture and large open spaces to hang out with friends and enjoy a sociable lunch. The University of Liverpool is not given enough credit as a University. The IT computer services are user friendly which makes assignments more manageable. I love exploring during my day and finding hideaway places on campus to relax, get on with work or watch the busy student life pass by.
The University of Liverpool is a great university for academic research and also for boosting one's employability and relevance to the global market. It has a world leading law faculty paired with an award-winning law clinic which gives its students unparalleled exposure to law in practice.
amazing uni which is getting bigger and better every year
such a good university with so many opportunities. Facilities are fantastic
The uni has been great for societies which you can get easily involved in whether they be sports, musical, cultural, arts etc. The libraries are huge and have all the resources you need to do all of your studying. The guild is brand new and has a club, shop, Starbucks, restaurant and a huge concert hall! Support is so easy to come by here from the staff so your never alone! Liverpool uni is definitely a place which is friendly, sociable and very supportive!
I wouldn't recommend this university to anyone. As a mature and disabled student I have had to bring an official complaint against Liverpool with regard to discrimination. They do not cater for mature or disabled students very well and do not recognise that these types of student have other responsibilities outside of the university environment. Those living on campus or of the 18 to 22 age range are the main focus of the university. A distinct lack of communication, disorganised administration, they cannot even comply with their own charter, let alone the Equality Act 2010.
Excellent University, loved my time here
Really good uni with amazing accommodation
Really love Uni of Liverpool, it's a really good experience, the only thing is they need to update some of their buildings as where i had lectures last year some of the rooms were horribly old fashioned, and they need better wifi throughout every building, as I struggled to get wifi in some buildings which meant i couldn't access the internet to perform tasks in seminars etc
Feel so at home on University of Liverpool campus. So many friendly, helpful people. Great choice of courses with a campus that is all in one place.
I love my University so much and I don't understand other students that rate it so low! We have such amazing facilities and every time I have ever rang student support they are so helpful and friendly! Absolutely can't fault them with anything!
Pretty amazing 1st year at this uni, all the facilities are pretty top notch, also the guild has the sphinx, which equals cheap drinks :)
love the university! And the city. So glad I chose here! So many opportunities both inside and outside the learning environment.
Load of rubbish. Worst 3 years ever
Brilliant university, I am having the time of my life, brand new accomodation and brand new guild
The 24/7 Libraries are fabulous! The coverage of the WiFi is so good! For Facilities, we can book the room free in the Guild if u under a society!
Internet is SUPER temperamental in halls!
Views of Liverpool from a non-scouser
The city is the most vibrant and exciting place away from London. The clubs and societies are fantastic and well worth joining, they took use the city to their advantage during socials.
Cons?
I do feel that £9,000 is a big ask and cannot always see the benefit, for example my course does not even have its own building and we are sent hiking round the campus for different lectures.
great uni wouldn't have gone anywhere else
Great nightlife, has to be said. Probably the best, i prefer it to newcastle! Great librarys loads of resources. Tutors are really helpful. Everything really
Cons?
Cant think of any.. Tuition fees? But thats not just liverpool
