Still on a high from its European Capital of Culture triumph, Liverpool is an exciting city, oozing civic pride...more information The inner city redbrick University of Liverpool’s a bit of a brainiac, with eight Nobel Prize winners to its name and frequent slaps on the back for its teaching, research and pioneering attitude to courses (veterinary science, architecture and biochemistry were all born here)...more on academic The city has a vibrant bar scene and funky nightlife, not to mention the old musical heritage (some boy-band called the Beatles, apparently)...more on entertainment As well as countless outlets for live music, boozeries, restaurants and culture-stops in town, the Student Guild’s Liverpool Academy venues (all four of them) are a major musical draw for students and Joe Public alike. The Guild has one of the biggest Union buildings in the country, as well as – thanks to its commercial interests – one of the biggest piggy banks...more on the SG Sports facilities are hot stuff too and about a third of students flex some kind of athletic muscle...more on sports Halls of residence (catered or self-catered) don't quite manage to squeeze all the first years in and the race to get the best private accommodation can be ferocious...more on housing £1,400 pa. ‘Liverpool Bursaries’ for ailing bank accounts...more on welfare
Woohoo: Sliced bread isn't nearly as good as Liverpool's Student Guild.
Boohoo: Size isn't everything, stragglers may get lost in the crowds.
