- Accommodation Details:
- As far as first years, providing you accept an offer by May and apply for the accommdodation by September, you should be sorted as far as room in halls. Final year students also have a more limited opportunity to live in halls, but most second years live out.
The halls are situated on two sites in an area called Mossely Hill, about three miles from the university. Carnatic Halls, is a group of six halls, with a central dining room, bar and function room. There is also a well stocked shop run by the Guild of Students, a library, squash courts, tennis courts, snooker room, table tennis room, television rooms and multi-gym. These are great halls in the first year, as they tend to be full of like-minded drinkers. The hall bar is bit wild too.
Greenbank Halls is a group of two halls, with many of the same facilities as above. Buses go to and from the halls in the mornings and evenings.
Locally, housing is cheap, and although the average price is around £40 per week, it is possible to get something even cheaper. Wavertree is practically a student ghetto, while Sefton Park has some more expensive but significantly more pleasant loft apartments. Allerton and the famous Penny Lane are also popular. Students also live in the run down areas of Toxteth and Walton, but the standard of living ain't high.

- Local Area:
- Liverpool - home of the Beatles, two famous football teams, oh, and Cilla Black. But Liverpool is much more than just this. It is one of Britain's youth culture capitals, independent politically, rich in culture and the arts.
The Victorian grandure of Princes Road is combined with the new development of the Albert Dock, and there are numerous museums to enjoy in between. Feel free to drop your parents off at the Beatles Museum, while you head for the Walker Art Gallery, the largest collection in the UK outside London, the Tate Gallery or even the University's own art gallery on campus.
Once you have drowned in culture, perhaps you might like to try one of Liverpool's many pubs or clubs. unofficial-guides.com recommends a walk (or crawl) down Smithdown Road, a prime student drinking area, or for the ultra stylish Ye Cracke, where Lennon and his chums used to drink.
As for clubbing, it is difficult to know where to start! An obvious choice is Cream at The Nation, where the country's trendsetters strut their funky stuff. You might also try, Mardi Gras or student nights at the Cavern (next door to the original Cavern). You'll also find a host of kebab shops, and good quality restaurants to keep you from starving. Chinatown is particularly good for cheap 'fwied lice'.
