about university
What made your university special? What were the facilities where you studied and the university equipment like?
The University of Liverpool is a famous and hisotrical insitution in the UK. It ahs a lovely campus, with many bulidings, canteens, gyms and green spaces. The classrooms are usually big and spatious.
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about your "adoptive" university? What made it special? What were the premises where you studied and the university facilities like?
Professors are usually nice and helpful, alwayse open to answer student's questions. The maangement is clear and it works very well. The exam period was also fine, everything was clearly defined and determined.
What is student life like at university?
There are many elective classes and you can pick those ones that help you to discover the history and culture of the place. University ogranises many activities for students, like sports, daytrips, Chrsitmas dinners and many other.
Did you study in English or in the language of the host country? What language requirements does the university have?
Since in the UK I only used English, a B" proficency level is required.
about the city
What was your impression of the city? How would you describe it? What is interesting to see here?
The city is quite big even if not the largest metropoly. It ahs a rich history and you can notice it wherever you go. Moreover hosts two historical football teams, Liverpool and Everton, which makes it even more unique. The city is also the hometown of the Beatles and the population is very proud of it. However the city suffered a big economic crises since the '80 and this is still visible today.
about finances
In your experience, how far does the scholarship go? What percentage of your expenses did it cover? What is your opinion on prices in the country in general?
The city is not the most expensive one, however you have to be abit careful how you spend your money because you can run out of it.
Please advise your classmates on how to save money—Where to shop? What services can be used to save money?
Since Liverpool is a university city there are many student deals, and you can work it out what is more convenient where. Shops like Asda, Lidl and Aldi are usually cheaper than Tesco and Sainsbury's.

about accommodation
What type of accommodation did you choose? Would you recommend it to others? If not, what type of accommodation do you think is best based on your experience (dormitory, private apartment, private dormitory, shared room, etc.)?
I did have a private accomodation which in the end was cheaper than the dormitory option. However it was a bit far away but at least in Anfield where the Liverpool stadium is.
about experiences
Did you use Erasmus stay to travel around your country/Europe? What are your best travel experiences? What would you not recommend?
UK and especially the north-western part of the country where Liverpool is, has a big and well developed railway system, and therefore travelling to cities like Manchester, Chester and Leeds it's quite easy. Howver the train tickets can be quite expensive and also the public transport in Liverpool itself it's not the best.
Language and culture: what cultural differences did you notice? How did you cope with the national language? Was it also the language of your studies? Do you feel that your language skills improved during your stay?
Liverpudians have a very strong accent, and therefore for a non native can be abit difficult to understand. However they are super friendly and welcoming and this helps a lot. Liverpool can seem harsh at the beginning but at the end is a very sepcial place.
final rating
Why here? What makes this location special? Why would you send your friends to your country/city?
Liverpool is a very intresting city, has lot of history and a unique culture. The University offers many possibilites to enjoy your stay as well as the city itself.
