LJMU isn’t quite in the same league as Liverpool Uni, but it’s excellent for many subjects, especially construction related courses, as I did. Nursing seems a good option, too.
First place I lived in as a student was Europa Court (2009) just off Erskine Street. Decent building but very poor management.
Second place was Atlantic Point right opposite the main Byrom Street LJMU building. Was absolutely fine and well managed. Very secure facility.
For my final year I shared a house in Wavertree just off Picton Road. It was a bit too out the way for me, but no issues. It was a bit too far from the main parts of Smithdown Road where all the main student activity was at the time.
I was in Liverpool yesterday for a meeting and I’m always amazed at how much has been built since I left in 2014. It’s just exploded. The choice of accommodation is amazing. The London Road area was grim when I was there, but it looks alright now and it’s a bit of a hotspot for students. Also the Hope Street area is a great spot. It has a great feel to it and it’s quite diverse.
