I M Marsh students
Accommodation advice for students studying at I M Marsh
The I M Marsh Campus is located in Aigburth, a quiet and leafy suburb located about four miles from Liverpool city-centre. The Campus is home to the Faculty of Education, Community and Leisure (ECL). Further information about the Campus can be found here.
It is important to remember that the vast majority of new ECL students have always lived in Liverpool city-centre because of the social and leisure facilities that are on hand and also because the accommodation available there is modern and well equipped.
Accommodation options
The only student accommodation located within walking distance of the I M Marsh Campus is Rose Lane, which is reserved for new postgraduates and located 10 minutes walk away. All new undergraduate students who will be taught at this campus will therefore need to select accommodation from the wide range of city-centre options.
Most of the bedrooms at Apollo Court and Great Newton Hall will be set aside for new ECL undergraduates in academic year 2012/13 (students arriving in September 2012). Both of these sites are modern, completely en-suite and well located for public transport to I M Marsh. Students who choose to live in one of these two sites are guaranteed to share their flat with other ECL students if they wish.
In addition, Grand Central and North Western Hall are always popular with new ECL students because they are well located for transport to I M Marsh. Grand Central is the most expensive accommodation available to new students and North Western Hall is the cheapest. As you would expect they represent the two extremes in terms of facilities and layout - although North Western Hall represents excellent value for money, given the central location. New ECL students who choose to live at these two sites or indeed elsewhere in the city can ask to share their flat with other ECL students, but this cannot be guaranteed.
Accommodation for postgraduate students
New postgraduate students are advised to book a room in Rose Lane or Liberty Park as several flats have been set aside for them there. There are also a small number of self-contained studios available at Apollo Court. Parking is available at Liberty Park at a cost of around £10 per week.
