Make Liverpool Home
What makes Liverpool a student-friendly city? With numerous universities, the city caters to its young population, with lots of places to go out, socialize, and experience first-rate culture.
Student Life in Liverpool
Liverpool loves students, and much of the local economy depends on the large student population here, which counts over 70,000 – almost eight percent of the city’s total population. With businesses and cultural institutions that cater to university students, it’s easy to enjoy life as a student in Liverpool.
Outdoor Spaces
Although Liverpool is known for the Beatles, music, and culture, there’s also no shortage of parks and outdoor spaces to enjoy in the city. Sefton Park, which has more than 200 acres of parkland, is only 15 minutes from the city centre. There are also beaches, piers, smaller parks, and gardens sprinkled throughout Liverpool and the surrounding area.
Neighbourhoods
Liverpool’s neighbourhoods are unique and eclectic, and you’ll never get tired of exploring them during your time as a university student. Whether you check out more popular areas or head to quieter, lesser-known gems, you’ll always find something to keep you busy in Liverpool.
Beyond the City
There’s plenty of sights to see and food to eat beyond the Liverpool city limits. Check out 22 miles of coastline in Southport, have a safari day at Knowsley Safari Park, or explore the cosy coastal towns of the Wirral Peninsula. The region has so much to offer students who want to get away from the city for a weekend or more.
Liverpool Universities
Liverpool wouldn’t be a student city without several universities! There’s the biggest, the University of Liverpool, just west of the city centre. Northeast of the city centre is Liverpool John Moores University, and Liverpool Hope University is a 30-minute bus ride from the city centre. In the heart of the city’s centre is The City of Liverpool College as well.
