Finding the right place to live while you’re studying is important. It may be your first experience of living away from home, so we understand that you will want somewhere where you feel comfortable, secure and happy.
As a student-friendly city, Liverpool has plenty of student accommodation options. That’s why we have never needed to build our own halls of residence.
We have carefully researched and vetted the nearby accommodation options. Listed in this guide are all the accommodation providers that are most popular with our students, to help all new UK, EU and international students to find what is right for them.
CHOOSING ACCOMMODATION – FIVE CONSIDERATIONS
For halls of residence or student village accommodation rents range from £115 per week for a standard en-suite room and up to £183 per week for a deluxe en-suite room with 24-hour on-site staff.
Rents for self-contained studio apartments with en-suite bathrooms can range from £135 per week to £209.90 per week for a more luxurious option.
For bedrooms in house shares and or privately owned flats with shared bathrooms, rent can start from £80 per week.
This is the year to find your feet, often in a city that’s new to you. So your own space is ideal. Not completely alone (that’s not good), but in a student village experience. The nearest to us is Cathedral Campus… and there are others a little further away. This type of accommodation helps you to get to know other students. Many providers try to ensure you are on the same floor/corridor/house as other LIPA students.
Most providers require a small deposit or application fee (£99 - £350) when you book.
You should expect the provider to register deposits with a Tenancy Deposit Scheme within 14 days and explain what the deposit is for. In most cases, the deposit is returned at the end of the contract - as long as the accommodation hasn’t been damaged.
Remember – your landlord/accommodation manager has a responsibility to make your accommodation fit for purpose, but you also have a responsibility to keep it that way.
We would recommend choosing accommodation within walking distance of LIPA.
This means you will be able to get into the city centre easily too. This may be a little bit pricier than some accommodation outside of the city centre but you will save on transport costs and are more likely to be housed with LIPA students as a result. It also saves on time commuting in and out of LIPA.
For disabled students or students with mobility issues, we recommend choosing accommodation close to LIPA to save on commute time.
When speaking with the listed student accommodation suppliers to discuss your access needs, it may be worth enquiring about en-suite or bath and shower room facilities on the same floor as your room.
Some providers may be able to offer adaptions to your room or external building, such as temporary ramps.
It is also worth checking if studio apartments and hall of residence style buildings have communal lifts to each floor.
HALLS OF RESIDENCE/STUDENT VILLAGE
Most first years opt for halls of residence or student village style accommodation, as provided by the nearby student village Cathedral Campus.
These tend to provide the most sociable student experience. Typically, you share a floor/corridor/house with up to around seven other students. Many of the providers try to put you with other LIPA students who are on the same year of study.
There may be en-suite rooms available or you may opt for accommodation with shared bathrooms/showers with the other students on your floor/corridor.
There will be a communal kitchen and, in some of the older properties, the kitchen may be shared by more than just the students living on your floor/corridor
STUDIO APARTMENTS
Student studio apartment blocks are often chosen by our postgraduate and mature students along with those who prefer a quieter living environment.
These open plan dwellings combine the bedroom, kitchen and lounge spaces into one room, with a separate en-suite bathroom.
Many student properties have a communal outdoor area to enjoy, when the weather is good, and some newer establishments may contain social spaces such as on-site gyms and games rooms.
Most will have somewhere to lock up your bike and access to the property is usually by key code or key fob.
HOUSE SHARES OR PRIVATE FLATS
Many of our students will opt for house shares from the second year onwards.
Renting a room in a house or flat is also an option for postgraduate and mature students who would prefer not to share their accommodation with new undergraduate students.
Liverpool Student Homes is owned by the three universities in Liverpool and maintains official listings of good quality private houses and flats.
