Liverpool is made up of distinct neighbourhoods, called quarters, where students can experience the city’s varying vibes. For example, the Baltic Triangle quarter is home to the creative industry and full of unique venues and restaurants. Chinatown has the largest Chinese arch outside of China and its Chinese community is the oldest in the West.
There’s a total of eight quarters (including Ropewalks, St George's and Cavern quarter) ready and waiting to be enjoyed, whether that’s during the day for an incredible meal and shopping or in the evening for a fun night out.
Liverpool is a hotbed for culture, with a reputation for contributions to music and sport. It's a well-connected city too; serviced by major rail stations and Liverpool John Lennon Airport, you should find it relatively easy to make your way here, wherever you're coming from in the UK or overseas.
Top things to do in Liverpool include a visit to Aintree races, New Brighton in Wirral and heading to view the spectacular Iron Men sculptures situated across Crosby Beach.
The great part about the city is that everything is easily accessible from your student accommodation in Liverpool, whether you're looking to explore, learn, enjoy or relax.

Frequently asked questions
Liverpool's large student population means there is a variety of student properties in the city - from university halls to student houses. If you opt to live with Student Roost, you can choose studio or en-suite student rooms available across five properties: The Railyard, Myrtle Court, Byrom Point, Apollo Court and Capital Gate.
Choosing your new student home is such a personal decision - and an exciting one! Start by making a list of your must-haves - for example, is having your own private bathroom a deal-breaker? Do you want to live somewhere with lots of social events and the chance to make new friends? Once you’ve got your list of must-haves and nice-to-haves, take some time to view a few different student properties in Liverpool if you can. Then you can decide what you like best.
The sooner you book your student accommodation in Liverpool, the more choice you’ll have! Keep in mind that if you want a particular room type or a particular property, if you leave it until the summer, they might be all booked.
That said, at Student Roost we usually have some student rooms in Liverpool available for last-minute booking - so if you’ve left it late or found your course through Clearing, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Yes. While we don’t have postgraduate-only accommodation in Liverpool we do have a variety of accommodation for you to choose from. If you’re looking for a bit more independence and a quieter space for study, you might like our studio rooms. Learn more about our postgraduate accommodation.
Yes, we offer short-term student accommodation at a few of our properties. So you’ll have the chance to experience student life to the full, whether you’re staying for one semester or two. Learn more about our short-term student accommodation.
Yes, it is. We offer dual occupancy as an option for some of our student studios in Liverpool, so you can rent and live together as a couple.
There are actually three main types of student accommodation in Liverpool. These are:
University-owned accommodation: this is usually in halls, but it can be in a shared flat or house. It depends what your uni has available. University halls are often popular with first year students who haven’t yet made friends in the city. Keep in mind that facilities can be quite basic and you likely won’t have the option of a studio flat all to yourself.
Private purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA): this accommodation is designed with student living in mind. It’s modern and comes with all the latest facilities. The type of rooms available will depend on your provider. At Student Roost, we offer studios and ensuite rooms in Liverpool. Best of all, all your bills are included in your rent.
Private house or flat shares (HMOs): this type of accommodation involves renting a room in a house or flat from a private landlord. You can often choose to rent a shared house with friends if you want to. You’ll need to organise and pay all your bills on top of your rent, so remember to take this into account when you’re thinking about budgets for rent.
According to the latest figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), there are around 64,870 students in Liverpool. This is split across four institutions, with the University of Liverpool being home to 29,955 and Liverpool John Moores University to 28,420. The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts has around 975 students, while Liverpool Hope University has around 5,520.
There are several areas in Liverpool that are popular with students – it really comes down to what you’re looking for in student life and how far you want to commute to uni each day. The city centre offers a vibrant community with plenty of restaurants and bars right on your doorstep. It’s a short commute to both the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores. In fact, our Apollo Court and Capital Gate properties are both less than a 10-minutes walk to the University of Liverpool. Meanwhile, our Byrom Point property is just a two-minutes walk to Liverpool John Moores University.
Other popular student areas include Kensington (known locally as Kenny), which is close to uni and offers a mix of student housing. If you don’t mind being a bit further out from the city centre, Toxteth is another popular location with a diverse community and plenty of green space thanks to its two local parks.
Liverpool is one of the most loved student cities in the UK, offering cheap living, entertainment, live music and nightlife among excellent restaurants and endless culture - oh, and don't forget football too! There's a reason why the student population is so high.
Liverpool is known for its excellent nightlife - and with a range of bars and clubs on offer, there are likely to be student offers on throughout the week. With its famous musical heritage, you won't have to go far to find some live music, either.

Congratulations! You’ve got a place on a course through clearing and you’re going to university; but what happens next?
Well, the first thing you need to do is accept the offer of study sent to you by the university. You’ll need to do this via UCAS. Once this is done and it’s all confirmed, you’ll also need to let your student finance provider know if there are any changes to your original application, such as a change in the university you’re attending, the course you’re studying, and the length of the course.
It’s also important that you find and confirm your accommodation. Options for last minute accommodation can be limited, so let us help you take away the stress. At Student Roost, we have accommodation in 21 UK cities. Upgrade your student living and become a part of our student community.
Yes, we do – our Byrom Point property is just a 2-minute walk from campus, making getting to early lectures a breeze. You can choose from either ensuite rooms or a studio with your own bathroom and kitchen.
