Great experience and would recommend this university to all academic students
The WiFi is ok. Sometimes a bit iffy. Plenty of societies and clubs, and careers service is helpful in working out where you want to go after university.
Honestly it’s just a **** university and I can’t even begin to explain the amount of times this ******** of a uni have actually majorly and entirely ****** me over, but I’m gonna. After going through major surgery the dean told me to not sit around of January exams and I will not be penalised. The day before the first exam, bare in mind I was still healing from my entire intestine being taking out of my body 5 days prior, I was told I needed to sit the exams or I will be penalised and kicked out. Also after applying for student finance for my third and final year everything got approved, I was re-enrolled but because the ********* that run this university like sheep with a lack of brain cells didn’t actually send the government confirmation that I am registered for the course, therefore meaning my finance will not be released and causing me to drop out. Thanks edge hill, I hope you’ve had fun ruining my life and putting me into a deep hellhole of an ungodly amount of debt for nothing
Its not a bad uni but if you are LGBTQ+ or not cis gendered white person its not the most welcoming. Most people are simple minded but im sure there are also lovely people just no queer safe spaces...
Beautiful university, good tutors and many facilities on campus. Quiet night life as it’s in a small village but it has good transport links to Preston and Liverpool by train and bus
Amazing university, amazing campus and staff are always so helpful
Nice and compact so very easy to navigate and get around, very helpful staff and friendly environment

Good uni as it helps you with extra curricular activities
Wifi is rubbish, but everything else is super
I just finished MA in 19th Century studies. The lectures (Bob and Andy) and beyond helpful on every aspect of the course. e.mail are answered often within hours! I have studied at Reading for my BA(hons) and at the UWE for my PGCert, and this universities teaching staff come out top by far! The campus is wonderfully maintained, incredible clean and beautiful. My advice is go there!!!!!
A truly beautiful campus that hides a huge amount of faults. Staff at least in my department (creative writing) are beyond awful. Hard to get their attention on basically any issues and a few of them are frankly worryingly lazy and incompetent. If you are in the uni in that department never make any sort of complaint, your marks will take a clear and dramatic drop.
It is a lovely University to study in with a beautiful campus.
Very excellent teachings no doubts about it.
Overall it’s been an excellent experience and really exceeded my expectations I had
I loved my time at this Uni. The law department are amazing
not really been on campus this year due to covid restrictions
I came for one semester as an international student from America. The campus is beautiful and the international office is extremely helpful with addressing concerns. Ormskirk is not the best for a night out but normally I'd catch the train to go to Liverpool. There are a lots of different societies to be apart of so it's easy to find people with similar interest. I stayed in Main Halls and the accommodation was average. It did not impress me.
I completed both an undergraduate and teacher training courses here. This is a magnificent place to study. The campus is a little out of the way but Ormskirk is a lovely place. You will love it here.
Covid-19:
Regret coming to Edge Hill, lecturer's on the odd occasion they turn up to the lecture, they are unhelpful. Tutors simply don't care. Don't go near forest Court, we had rats and so many other issues. I study a creative subject there and honestly, none of the lecturer's care and the equipment is rubbish, the course was completley different when we came. The only good thing is the library is mint.
Great experience, friendly staff
I would avoid this uni. The staff seriously don't care at all and won't help you in any situation. It is 100% a tick-box set and just have no idea how hard it is for students. The facilities and actually course is below standard as well
I study here at Edge Hill, going into my third year. The campus is modern and everything is conveniently located, the facilities are outstanding along with the accommodation one of the best in the UK. I would develop the SU slightly but that is all.
If dyslexic and need help, choose another uni, terrible support structure. Nice campus but miles from nowhere, in winter it's a horrible commute from off campus. Sports facilities are great but campus gets very same old after a while, especially for a city guy.
Very great campus and keep developing, friendly and humble staff. I am an international student from business school, I’ve got a lot of support from international office, professors and staff. You will attend the seminar with the same lecturer( as i know and from my experience, in some universities you will have seminar with Phd student) who understand your module the most, they always welcome you to go to their office and have a chat with them. I really enjoy my days in Edge Hill!
Such a beautiful and safe campus, there's a broad range of societies to join and the library is great. Some of the courses could be more organised but overall this is a fantastic uni!
DO NOT ATTEND EDGE HILL UNIVERSITY. YOU WILL PAY EVERY RED PENNY YOU AND YOUR PARENTS HAVE TO YOUR NAME.
Amazing and beautiful university
everything is so close together and fairly easy to find. you meet a wide variety of people and everyone is so sociable!
Real helpful but not sure how careers our
Made some good friends, had some good times living on campus
Thinking of starting a society due to them not having it but thanks to the SU for the help
The only problem with my uni is the wifi, at high points during the day can be slow
Amazing campus, probably the prettiest one, and enough societies for everyone! There will always be help if you need it!
Amazing place and beautiful campus
Edge hill has a good student union,where you can go for support and the talks at the beginning of the year were very helpful and informative.
Could not have had a better uni experience so far! The campus uni is definitely a bonus as everything is at your door and you make so many friends. Edge hill is the place to be!
Back halls is a no go area on campus
Campus makes it feel like a community and everything you need is within a 10 minute walk
Absolutely amazing except the fact the wifi dislikes certain apps & websites!
only real issue its in the middle of nowhere
Loved edge hill since coming here, feel like there could be a wider range of societies though
Edge Hill so far has been a great experience. Meeting new people and engaging in a course I thoroughly enjoy. Only downfall is the SU is fairly s*** for a night out and the wifi is as effective as a condom with a pin hole in it but whatever
Edge Hill is a warm welcoming and fun university.
Campus and its facilities are great, its a beautiful campus, with many sporting societies. EDUROAM wifi is torturous.
A very nice campus and lovely to live on
Excellent uni in a nice location!
The most communal and family based education system that I have been a part of. Couldn't imagine doing my degree elsewhere.
Excellent University, Well deserved the Times University of the Year award.
Such a lovely welcoming university that offers a wide range of courses and such a good nightlife
I'm a first year and I am having the best time at Edge Hill. The campus is beautiful and I haven't met a member of staff who isn't lovely. The accommodation is amazing and I couldn't fault a thing about it. We have the best nights at the student union bar every Monday.
The best university I have ever visited, no where could beat the facilities and opportunities provided.
Brilliant and friendly university. The WiFi can sometimes be a bit temperamental but otherwise a great place to study.
wifi is a bit slow and the freshers wasn't as good as other freshers but the parties and things that are organised are great
Enrolment was well organised and went smoothly. Lots of guidance given with finding accommodation and moving in. All halls staff very friendly, warm and welcoming.
Fantastic University with brilliant nightlife, great lectures and a lovely atmosphere
Experience is good. There's something to do for everyone. There's plenty going on too.
Rest university. It's difficult to connect to the Internet on a regular basis though.
The university is great. Great tutors, campus is beautiful and there's more work being done to improve it
The reason for the low score on Internet / Wifi is that it is so slow and hard to even watch a 5 minute clip without the video needing to buffer.
Class university with a class lifestyle
Great setting, lovely staff and amazing people
Lovely campus and overall a very good university. Location isn't great though.
Beautiful campus. Great staff. Amazing experience. Best years of your life.
