RIO
Student Living Assistant My advice for new students:
For me, living in student accommodation is a great way to move out for the first time and have your first real taste of independence. All your bills are included, which takes away the hassle, plus you get to meet so many people from different courses and backgrounds. I love the hustle and bustle of being in the city centre; there is always something to do on your doorstep!

Be friendly with your flat mates and share certain foods, bread, salt, etc. so you don’t let food go to waste. Clean as you go - it keeps mess to a minimum and makes your job easier. Don’t suffer in silence - if you are struggling with anything talk to someone. The staff on reception or our friendly Student Living Assistants are there to help.

ACCOMMODATION
What you need to know when booking your student accommodation
CONTRACTS
MONEY MATTERS
Accommodation contracts are known as ‘tenancy agreements’ or ‘tenancies’ and are legally binding for the full period once signed. So unless there are exceptional grounds for the tenancy to be cancelled, you are liable for rent until the end of the contract or until a replacement is found.
Rent is paid in three equal instalments that coincide with your student funding payments if you are a UK student, who can provide a guarantor*, so it is important that you apply for your student funding as soon as possible – don’t put this off!
Tenancies commence on Saturday 11 September or Sunday 12 September 2027 and finish 42 weeks later. Induction week for new students starts on 13 September and teaching begins on Monday 20 September 2027 (all dates subject to change). It is important to note that tenancies cover the full academic year. If your course does not match the standard academic year – for example Midwifery – you will be given a full calendar year tenancy as standard. Don’t forget that you don’t have to move out over the Christmas and Easter breaks, the room is yours for the duration of your tenancy. You can also stay on after your first year in all cases.
It is a good idea to try and work out your budget at an early stage and choose your accommodation according to what you can afford. *Your guarantor will most likely be a parent or guardian, and they must agree to act in this capacity
If you have any concerns about money and student accommodation, please contact our Accommodation Office: accommodation@ljmu.ac.uk
Accommodation Guide | 7
MATURE STUDENTS The majority of students entering accommodation come to university straight from school or college and are under 21. If you prefer a quieter study environment, rooms are reserved for older students at a number of our city centre locations. If you do have any particular requests, such as living in a flat with older students, please indicate this on your accommodation request form. Every effort will be made to meet your needs but this cannot be guaranteed in all cases. If you would prefer to live in a private house or flat, contact Liverpool Student Homes (LSH) liverpoolstudenthomes.org/ accommodation.
HEALTHCARE STUDENTS Nursing, Midwifery, and Paramedic Science students have varied schedules because of their placements (they often wake up when other students are heading to bed!). We require healthcare students to live in one of our suitable halls in their first year. This allows them to live with peers on similar courses. Limited parking is available for Paramedic students at Atlantic Point.
BOOKING YOUR ACCOMMODATION 1
Read the information here and online at ljmu.ac.uk/accommodation and decide where you would like to live.
2
SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST If LJMU is your Firm (first) choice, you can submit your accommodation request via the LJMU Applicant Hub. You can submit your request regardless of whether you hold a conditional or unconditional offer. You will instantly receive an email to confirm that your request has been received and to explain the next steps in the process. The first date that accommodation requests for 2027/28 will be accepted is Monday, 12 April 2027.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES Accommodation facilities for students with disabilities are constantly improving and LJMU is committed to ensure a high standard of living for all students, whatever your needs.
MAKE YOUR CHOICE
3
FINALISE YOUR BOOKING
If you require accommodation with particular adaptations it is important that you inform us as soon as possible so that the necessary arrangements can be made.
Within a few days of submitting your request you will be contacted by your chosen accommodation provider by email. You must follow their instructions in order to finalise the booking of your room.
We can also arrange for you to visit our accommodation to check that it will meet your needs.
If you hold a conditional offer from LJMU and are unsuccessful, any payment made for accommodation will be refunded and your tenancy agreement cancelled.
We also have a limited supply of studios and these are reserved in the first instance for students with additional needs. To discuss your requirements further please contact us at accommodation@ljmu.ac.uk
You can contact our Accommodation Office at any time for advice and guidance.
Don’t forget, booking your room via the LJMU Accommodation Office is the only way to guarantee that you will be living with other new LJMU students.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
At LJMU all teaching takes place in Liverpool city centre at either our Mount Pleasant Campus or City Campus. All of the accommodation in this guide is located in the city centre, so you will have several options within walking distance of the University. Liverpool is a very compact city and most LJMU students can walk to lectures. So please think very carefully before bringing a car to Liverpool because, as in most cities, parking is expensive and limited. If having your car is important to you, you should request accommodation early to maximise your chances of securing a space. For further information on where specific courses are taught, please see the LJMU website.
Accommodation Guide | 9
ACCOMMODATION FOR
MOUNT PLEASANT STUDENTS The Mount Pleasant Campus is home to the: Faculty of Society and Culture
The following accommodation options are ideal for students undertaking courses in the Mount Pleasant Campus. Limelight is the newest hall available as it only fully opened in 2024. It offers premium en-suite accommodation with extensive communal facilities and great views across the city. Albert Court and Prospect Point are two excellent value, en-suite options which are suitable for students at either campus. Many rooms at Albert Court were upgraded in summer 2022 and now feature small double beds. Rooms at Prospect Point are larger than in many other halls. Agnes Jones House and St. Andrew’s Gardens are excellent choices for students seeking good value accommodation because they feature flats with shared bathrooms. Grand Central is one of the liveliest of all the accommodation options, with two en-suite room options available.
Copperas House is one of the newest options available, as it opened in summer 2021. It is well located close to the Student Life Building and LJMU Sport building and is suitable for students at either campus. St Luke’s View is an excellent option for students located in the Mount Pleasant campus, with large flats and a private courtyard space. Horizon Heights and Hardman House are two modern options in this campus. All rooms at both sites feature en-suite bathrooms.
Grenville Street, Myrtle Street Apartments and The Arch are three contemporary options, located close to the vibrant student nightlife area and the shops and amenities of Liverpool One. All three halls have larger rooms than many others within the campus and hence they represent excellent value. See map on inside back cover for accommodation locations.
10 | Accommodation Guide
ACCOMMODATION FOR
CITY CAMPUS STUDENTS The City Campus is home to the: Faculty of Health, Innovation, Technology and Science
The following accommodation options are ideal for students undertaking courses in City Campus. Marybone is a large, three phase complex and is ideally located adjacent to the Avril Robarts Library and the Tithebarn Street building. Marybone 1 features flats with shared bathrooms and double beds at very reasonable rents. Marybone 2 and 3 are almost identical and are fully en-suite. Ablett House, Glassworks and Byrom Point are three newer accommodation sites located within the City Campus and are fully ensuite. They each have a common room and study area to meet and socialise with other residents. Atlantic Point is an excellent value en-suite option, located opposite the Byrom Street teaching buildings. It is one of the largest sites offered to new students and has a limited number of parking spaces. Students based in the City Campus can also choose accommodation located in the centre of the city such as Albert Court, Copperas House, Grand Central, Horizon Heights, Limelight or Prospect Point. See map on inside back cover for accommodation locations.
