Accommodation in general

Living at Melville is not as portrayed here and the review from April 2001 is not a fair review of life at liverpool university.
Perhaps some recent students would post reviews here and give a more balanced review (which badly needs updating)

I would reccommend students to check out other websites before making thier minds up as to University accommodation

I`ve not lived in Melville Grove myself - I`ll say that upfront to be totaly honest. However my boyfriend and a lot of other friends DO live there, so I spend a fair bit of time both in the halls andthe surrounding area. There is a HUGE problem here with security, but I`ll get to that in a moment. The rooms themselves are relatively small but quite well designed. You get enough space to keep all your stuff without any problems, and a sink in your room. There are bathrooms and showers, as well as a bath and a shared kitchen, in each house. Each house has 7 or 8 bedrooms in it, which means that the facilities aren`t overcrowded. However, all this isn`t ...  Read the complete review

The JCR is reasonably priced and you will find that they put on some decent events and promotions. The area around the halls is very ...  Read the complete review

Mulberry Court is a self-catering block of university halls, run by the university along with Melville Grove, St Agnes House and Philharmonic Court. The halls are situated in the university campus, giving direct access to the university, and a few minutes walk away from the city centre. There are local shops and banks as well as chippies and pubs :-D, and it is neighbours with the sports centre and the guild. A taxi from the city centre at night is approx £2, as compared to £5 and upwards to areas like Wavertree where most student housing is. Security is good on site, to get to my room there is a locked gate and two locked doors to pass. Also to get to ...  Read the complete review

The rooms currently have an internet cnnection and a phone line in each room, although the internet connection is going to be removed for the next accademic year (2001/2002).
