  As far as university social facilities and spaces go, Liverpool has a very poor selection. There are department specific common rooms but they have minimal facilities, and there are few university food outlets. On the plus side there are plenty of outdoor spaces for better weather.

  The guild of students is great for freshers week but then slightly looses its relevance as nobody really uses it. The food on campus is not especially amazing although it is now from september able to be bought using pre loaded money on student cards, in good weather there is lots of nice green areas to go

  The downside
  
  A lot of the lectures are disappointing: lecturers basically just read off the powerpoints. Some of the lecture slides are just images so if you haven't had time to write down enough notes then the slides are useless. Would also be really helpful if we were told about any changes to be made to the course/uni at the start of the year/before we apply (in the prospectus, open days etc.) rather than towards the end of the year when we have no choice but to go along with these changes whether or not we like them. Mixed opinion on tuturs, some you get who are helpful but others you feel as though you get nothing from i.e. no constructive advice.

League table rankings

Here's where this university ranks in the three main league tables (where available), which are calculated using a combination of stats that they each weight in different ways. They’re a handy guide but don’t offer the full picture – just because a university is top (or bottom) of the league tables doesn’t mean it is (or isn’t) the right choice for you.
