Halls of Residence
University accommodation is split across 3 sites, Carnatic, Greenbank and Campus.
CARNATIC HALLS OF RESIDENCE Carnatic Halls are set in beautiful parkland about three miles away from the city centre in the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool, close to the Universitys sports grounds at Wyncote. The area surrounding the Carnatic Halls has a growing nightlife and a great choice of shops, bars, cafs and a cinema. Each Hall of Residence has a Warden and a team of Residential Advisors who live in or near to the Halls. Their role is to provide support and advice to students and they play an active role in Hall life. Duty Residential Advisors are also available in the evenings and through the night at each Hall in case of emergency. On-site there are three laundrettes, two computer rooms, a library, music rooms, TV rooms, a cash machine, quiet rooms, secured bike stores and sporting facilities including two squash courts, tennis courts, snooker, pool and table tennis. There is also a cafeteria style restaurant and a fantastic bar. These facilities are shared by all six Halls - so there is plenty of opportunity to meet your fellow students and make new friends. GREENBANK HALLS OF RESIDENCE Greenbank Halls are situated in parkland about three miles from the city centre in the grounds of Greenbank House, the former home of the Rathbone family. The area is close to Sefton Park and has a great choice of shops, bars, cafs and a cinema. Each Hall of Residence has a Warden and a team of Residential Advisors who live in or near to the Halls. Their role is to provide support and advice to students and they play an active role in Hall life. Duty Residential Advisors are also available in the evenings and through the night at each Hall in case of emergency. Derby and Rathbone Hall has a variety of accommodation available to students and offers the only catered and self-catered en-suite facilities. As the number of en-suite rooms is very limited they are usually allocated to students with an unconditional firm offer. If you have a medical reason for needing an en-suite room please contact the Accommodation Office. The facilities on-site are a laundrette at each Hall, computer room, music room, TV room, quiet rooms, secured bike stores and sporting facilities including gym, tennis courts, snooker, pool and table tennis. There is also a newly refurbished cafeteria style restaurant and a bar. These facilities are shared by both Halls so there is plenty of opportunity to socialise with your new friends. CAMPUS HALLS OF RESIDENCE The University's main self-catering accommodation is situated either on or very close to the University campus. Flats for six to ten students, sharing bathroom and kitchen facilities, or self-contained flats for families and couples are available. Some en-suite accommodation is available although it is limited. Each self-catering residence has a manager who is responsible for the day-to-day supervision and management of the residence. On-site portering and cleaning services are provided. At each residence there is also a team of Residential Advisors who offer out of office hours support and advice. Accommodation costs over the next few pages are for 2011/2012 and are included for indicative purposes. For the very latest details on Catering, Hall Facilities, latest Costs of Accommodation, Insurance, Contractual Terms and Conditions and Support Services please visit our website www.liv.ac.uk/accommodation

My current accommodation has allowed me to enjoy the best aspects of the vibrant student life that Liverpool has to offer; while at the same time it has offered me a refuge when dedicating my time to the academic aspects of my degree.

My experience of living in University residences over the past four years has been very positive. The campus residences provide an excellent balance between having your own independent space in the city, and having the support of the friendly management and accommodation team. The Halls have a friendly peaceful atmosphere and are a great place to live and study.

I found that living in halls in the first year was a great experience and would really recommend it to anyone whos a long way from home. Its a great chance to meet new people and you have lots of fun!
