Halls Of Residence At Liverpool JohnMoores University

I attened liverpool john moores uni for a year 2007/2008. while at the uni i lived in Apollo Court, which i situated on Greek Street which is just off London Road, a busy road with lots of bus stops, a TJ Hughes, conveniences stores, a chemist and sandwich stops. Apollo court is also only 5 minutes walk from the city centre, the National Express bus station and Liverpool Lime street train station. During my stay i stopped in a 5 roomed flat on the bottom floor of Block B. When i first moved in i was a bit worried about the noise levels but fortunately i never heard anyone coming in drunk as there to go through before going to the actual flats. ...  Read the complete review

The bull ring was a fabulour place to live. Five minutes walk away from Lime Street Station. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. All the flats were in good order, very clean and modern without being too clinical. The rent was very reasonable. I stayed here for my last year and I dodn't want to leave! I met my boyfriend by shouting across the courtyard at him. Been together for four years now. He stayed at the Bull Ring for two years and loved every minute of it too. There is a secure space to park your car, an onsite lauderette (very handy) which it was safe to leave you clothes spinning around in. You couldn't get ...  Read the complete review

Cathedral Campus is made up of little 'houses' divided into two courts called Patey Court and Dillistone Court. Patey is the bigger one but Dillistone is often thought of as being 'cosier' as they know eachother better. I personally lived in Patey which has about 60 houses in it. The houses consist of five bedrooms, a bathroom, a toilet, a kitchen and a storeroom. They are three floors high. The bedrooms contain a single bed, which I found surprisingly comfy, a desk, a sink, a single wardrobe, two drawers under the bed, two shelves above the desk and an 'easy' chair. The sizes of the houses vary. If you are lucky ...  Read the complete review

I knew from the moment i set foot into Liverpool that this was the place i wanted to spend the next 4 years. After completing my A-levels i deferred entry for a year as i wanted to go to america (which i did). I didn't arrive back into the UK until 1st November. Everybody else has started their courses in September so i was abit late. When i arrived at St Andrews Gardens (aka The Bull Ring) i was given the choice of 3 rooms, which was great because everyone else had to take what they were given. After much deliberation i chose a room on the 1st floor. All rooms had a single bed, wardobe, built-in desk with chair and a wash basin. The flat i was living in had 5 ...  Read the complete review

For me getting onto the Halls Of Residence was as important as choosing my degree course. It was essential and something I’d always wanted to do. I’d already visited a mate who was at Carnatic Halls in the Liverpool University and Parkside (JMU’s halls) was just down the road. How disappointing? Compared to Carnatic, Parkside was like an outhouse. Small unattractive breezeblock rooms with none of the green fields that accompanied the Universities Halls. However, after my initial disappointment I soon realised that a good Halls Of Residence is not down to the bricks and mortar, it’s down to the people in them. Some of the people during those first ...  Read the complete review
