Liverpool is home to a number of Higher Education Institutes including The University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores, Liverpool Hope and LIPA making Liverpool highly populated in students (in 2012 there was approximately 70,000!) The high number of students means a high demand for quality student accommodation. So we here at Pads for Students decided to give you a guide composed of some of the places we recommend, that suit all budgets and preferences.
Student Life in Liverpool
The metropolitan borough of Liverpool holds the Guinness World Record title of being th World Capital City of Pop (we bet you all know of at least one little band that hail from here.) It was also vote as having the best nightlife of any city in the UK so no prizes for guessing why so many students flock here each September. But it’s not just its deep connection with music and thriving nightlife that makes this city a great choice to live to study, its transport system provides excellent service with the ability to easily travel not only around the city but also nation- and world-wide. With this in mind, not to mention the various cultural things to do and see in Liverpool you’ll want the perfect student halls, house or flat in the ideal location for you and Pads for Students is here to help you find it.
Liverpool Accommodation for Students on a Budget
The price of rent can vary depending on the type of accommodation you’re after, whether you want a room in a shared student house or in halls. But a small budget doesn’t mean having to compromise of quality, it’s just looking in the right places and taking into consideration what it is you’re looking for. Location and features will be you’re main focus along with budget so as long as you’re not looking for a one bedroom flat with lavish furnishings overlooking the Albert Dock with all bills inclusive then you’ll be sure to find something that leaves you with enough loan to treat yourself from time to time.
For instance, this Four Bedroom student pad is just off Smithdown and is a steal at just £65 (per person, per week) with open plan dining room/kitchen and flat screen tv already installed in the lounge. And this modern student flat has everything you need for one and is under £100 per week (such a deal is a rarity in most major cities!).
Student halls are also a great idea for keeping track of your finances as everything is usually included and are generally located closely to campus. Agnes Jones and Liberty Living offer great student accommodation at a fantastic price-under £100 per week! But if you want to live it up a little more (and your wallet allows it) then there’s some amazing luxury accommodation from Urban Sleep; their Octagon complex is a grade 2 listed building converted into shared student flats an individual studio apartments. Fresh Student Living’s Europa is available for anyone studying in Liverpool, no matter what institute and boasts “small double beds” for “added comfort” as well as being en-suite throughout!
Vita Student has a brand new designer student accommodation opening in September 2013, The Chapel. In the perfect location for all of Liverpool’s Universities, it’s a Grade II listed building renovated to a 4* hotel standard of the highest quality.
