Advantages: Friendly Staff, Great social activities, Quality Education

Disadvantages: Facitilities need updating

Having just completed my Degree and Masters at Liverpool John Moores and now studying for a PhD at Loughborough with the two leading academics in my field, I would have to disagree with a review I just read indicating only people with no qualifications would go to John Moores, I did well in my A-Levels and could have chosen a different university with ease, however; the open day I attending at my department was really great and gave the image of a well qualified department that really cared about the subject they were delivering and about the students.

I completed a sports based course at the I M Marsh campus set aside from the rest of the university. On reflection of my course and my time as a John Moores Ranger I can honestly say I had a great time on all accounts. My lecturers were very knowledgable and put a great deal of effort into ensurinf their knowledge was up to dateand current.

I think any student gets out of their course exactly what they put in and so many students forget a lecturers job is to guide a student through the course and not spoon feed! It is also important to remember that this is my account of one department and I would presume each department would be different in how they operate and deliver their courses.

I was not really involved in any of the sports teas though many of my friends were and they loved it. They had lots of team social nights out, Wednesday night being a big night becasue of sporting fixtures and again I really have very fond memories of my soical life.

The facilities really need to be updated and some of the lecture rooms make it very difficult to participate ina lecture properly but these are only small niggles is what can only be described as a brilliant four years.

Summary: Great university, lots of fun to be had....as long as you are prepared to work hard!
