      Uni help needed!!
      Nov 10, 2009 11:09:45 pm
      I am trying to decide what uni to goto next year for studies. My application needs to be in soon so i was hoping someone could give me a bit of help. I am currently considering a course in University of Ulster, Liverpool John Moores, Liverpool Hope, Edge Hill, Bolton Uni and Manchester Uni. I have a few questions though. How close and how easy is it to get to the city centre of liverpool from Edge Hill? What is Edge Hill like as an area? Are Liverpool Hope and John Moores in Liverpool City Centre? And with regards to any of the Uni's, has anyone ever studied their or known someone who has that could could provide me waith a bit of advice i.e did they enjoy themselves, did they learn a lot, what did they think of the Uni etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

      With regards to John Moores - not entirely sure but I think that's very spread out. I think there's definately a part of the campus which is very near to the City Centre however.

      Most of JMU is in city centre. Liverpool Hope is about twenty minutes on a bus into the city centre. I used to work at Hope. Was sh*t then, but that was ten years ago. My ex still works there and she's fit as though! ;)

      LJMU is mostly in town. The main bits by the museums and is very accessible. That parts for a lot of the mainstream uni stuff. I know science and psychology is in that part. The other is higher up Brownlow Hill by the two cathedrals. That's reasonably accessible anyway. My mate done finance and he was up there.

      There's another part of LJMU in Aigburth, which is a bit of a bus ride from Liverpool City centre. My Missus is doing Travel and Leisure Management and she's in that building. The sport and dance students ;) are there too.

      Not entirely sure on Liverpool Hope. All of it is in Childwall, which is, as Gow said, about 20 minutes on the bus. Went to a couple of open days but fancied LJMU more, so I went there and did Forensics and Psychology.

      My experience there was fantastic. Amazing facilities and plenty of opportunites.

      Mate, thats probably the building i would be in if i went to LJMU. I want to do something like Community Youth Work and that would be in the same sector as Leisure and Tourism. And of course, i am liking the idea of the dance students ;D cheers CRK

      Guys, I have an offer from Liverpool John Moores, Liverpool Hope and Manchester Uni. Waiting on word from Sunderland and I got rejected by University of Ulster, which I honeslty cannot believe. University of Ulster and Liverpool John Moores were my favourite choices but now with UU out of the way and having an offer from LJMU, I will be gracing the streets of Liverpool from next September onwards :). Does anyone play 5-a-side Football that I could possibly join? And does anyone play for a team that I could possibly join? ;D

      I've applied for Spanish and Maths at :
      Chester
      Manchester
      Sheffield
      Lancaster

      So far I've had an offer from Lancaster but had the Manchester one rejected.

      Still unsure what my first choice is, I think going to a few open days to see what each one is like will decide for me.

      Anyone got any experience from Lancaster, Chester or Sheffield Uni?

      What's the Uni like?

      Do you live there or travel there everyday. So do you know what accomodation is like?
      What are the people like etc, whats the town like/night life, stuff like that

      Ross goes there, so it must be boring ;)

      Chester is a nice place actually. You might even see someone off Hollyoaks there.

      It's pretty small, but really nice.

      I travel there but I have been in both private and halled accomodation and I was quite impressed by both actually considering other ones I've seen in the past.

      Great thing is it's about 5 min walk away from the town centre which again I love.

      Was at Liverpool Hopes Applicants day in Liverpool on Saturday. Good Uni, really nice people but i didnt like the course, when i found out more info about it, that i applied for and i also thought it was a bit too far out of the city for my liking. However, such is the Irish interest in LJMU, they had an applicants day in Cookstown Co.Tyrone Northern Ireland last Saturday. I fell in love with the course i applied for and it is by far my top choice. I will be based in the campus that apparently is beside the Superlambannana. From what i know of it, it is about 10mins walk to the city centre and is opposite the library and the lecture halls. Hope to get over and see it soon enough. I am very very keen to goto LJMU so i guess i will be gracing the streets of Liverpool City very very soon.

      I have been in Liverpool quite a lot over the years, whether it be for matches or something else. Each time, it has been a real pleasure being in the company of scousers. They, in many ways, are very similar to the Irish and i find it very easy to get on with them. My love of the City and its people was reconfirmed when i was over on Saturday. Liverpudlians are a credit to the city of Liverpool. I just get really excited for the next 4 years of fun that i will have in Liverpool :).

      Glad to hear it mate.

      Yeah, it's not even a ten minute walk into town, you're round the corner from Mathew St etc. That part of town you'll be living is the office district so there'll be loads of sexy girlies all suited up knocking about  ;)

      Hahaha mate, i like your thinking  >:D. Like i have said in the past, i know my way about a good part of the city, but there is still quite a bit that i need to get to know. By the way, i want to make it clear, i wasn't surprised by how much i like Scousers, it just reconfirmed to me how helpful and nice the people are. Plus, some of them are hilarous. It will be nice to even possibly meet a couple of the members of the forum for a few drinks at different times of the years. Cheers everyone for the help :).

      I got an offer from Chester, I need CCE in spanish maths and physics which should be easily achievable.
      There's an open day this week i think which i might go down to since it's half term and i might not get a chance to go to the others.
