Throughout this article, we’ll explore what makes Liverpool so appealing to students and why it’s such a fantastic place to live and study in.
What’s so special about Liverpool?
There are so many reasons to study in and stay in student accommodation in Liverpool, it’s hard to list them all. But we’ve highlighted the best that this bustling port city has to offer its students.
1. Sports central
If you weren’t aware, Liverpool lives and breathes football and is home to two of the world’s biggest football clubs: Liverpool and Everton FC. Love for the beautiful game is also evident with the high volume of grassroots men’s and women’s leagues across Merseyside.
Asides from football, Liverpool hosts the UK’s most famous annual horse race: The Grand National.

For live music, tribute acts and an all-around wholesome night out, Matthew Street is home to the Cavern Club.
Cocktail and lounge bars such as The Alchemist can be found on Liverpool’s Albert Dock and Cavern Quarter for a sophisticated outing.
Can’t resist arcades and enjoy drinking games? If so, Roxy’s Ballroom or Boom Bar are the places to go. Play pool, darts, and beer pong and even order food whilst you play.
Plus, be sure to check out Camp & Furnace in Liverpool’s Balti Triangle – this fantastic venue hosts themed nights and themed quizzes, for everything from ABBA to Harry Potter and even Universal’s Shrek.
3. It’s a city of music
Calling all music enthusiasts – Liverpool is synonymous with the UK’s music scene and is a hot spot for producing local musical talent. In fact, Liverpool is the only city in England to be awarded a UNESCO City of Music title.
The Beatles, Jamie Webster, and The Wombats are just a few famous acts to come from the heart of Merseyside.
Liverpool’s passion for sound is evident throughout the city, with live music on show throughout the year in bars and events, such as the International Liverpool Music Festival and Creamfields.
