It was tough but worth it.

Tips: It is a difficult shift, living alone, managing your finances, loneliness, but it's also fruitful, as once you overcome these hardships, nothing is holding you back. The University of Liverpool offer good scholarships. I availed a 30% discount, as I had a 9 CGPA in my Bachelor's.

Likes (Part time work): A lot of part-time jobs are available for students, especially those in the UK who are doing higher education. It can be tough managing both college and work at first, but it gets easier with flexible, well-organised jobs.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are no placements available. It becomes very much difficult to get jobs because they are left on their own while also exploring the job market.

Liverpool is 100% safe for students.

Tips: It's really a pleasure to study at an academic and sports oriented university. I was also granted with an ULMS scholarship, which provided me with a cover of 5000GBP. I got the scholarship on the basis of my previous academic achievements. The people are fun loving and the football culture over there is a must to experience.

Likes (Safety): Liverpool is 100% safe for the students as it's the UK's most student friendly destination. You have campus safety programs which will give you insights into campus and travel safety. There is 24/7 availability of communal resources. You will find Security and Police all over the city to ensure the smooth functioning of events and weekend nights.

Dislikes (Part time work): The options for part-time work are endless. Starting from the retail sector to security, you can find your best suited line of work and apply through IndeedUK or Glassdoor. There are campus jobs too, which provide you with a perfect work-life balance, but they are not posted often.

The university has very good faculty members, plenty of resources and great learning outcomes.

Tips: Getting along with the culture of this country was pretty easy if you were open to accepting changes. The university is a very friendly place where everybody is willing to help you at any time. I was offered a 5000-pound scholarship based on my undergrad scores. I love my university, this country and its people. I have never felt like not getting along with the local people here, I have made pretty good friends locally, other than people from my country. The Scouse accent was a bit hard to understand because it's very different from the rest of the accents in England. But I got used to it. Finding part part-time job at university was not easy, and I haven't gotten any opportunities. But the university itself is right in the middle of the city, so you will get other options around if you try.

Likes (Value for money): The university has very good faculty members, great learning outcomes, and you also get plenty of resources to help you study on campus. The classrooms are great, and the labs are well-equipped. The lecturers and tutors are very knowledgeable and helpful. When it comes to infrastructure, it offers a lot of space for students to feel comfortable. There are two libraries where I often spend time reading or studying. There is also a common place called a guild, where you have bars, a cafe and a gaming area, and it is also a place where I choose to spend my time working on assignments and projects. I have never regretted choosing this university or spending this money on it. It is ranked 147th in the world, is in the top 20 universities in the UK. It is also a Russel group university, which is why the fee can be justified.

Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships through the university might not be as easy as we imagine. I would recommend finding internships on your own via LinkedIn and other job platforms. To gain experience, unpaid internships are easier to obtain. It all depends on how consistent you are in applying for jobs and your skills.

Fun-loving, environmental, world-class university.

Tips: The University of Liverpool is a world-class institution that is fun-loving, environmentally friendly, and supportive of its students. As an alumnus, I suggest that you, as a student, prepare for a challenging and fulfilling life at the university where you will be involved in academic activities, sports, student societies, and so much more. I was lucky enough to receive a 2500 GBP scholarship that was a Commonwealth scholarship given to students from Commonwealth countries. I was very satisfied with the university and the great course I took. If you’re an international student, be prepared for an adjustment period, but don’t worry, you’ll get used to things. I recommend that international students not let any doubts about the country deter them from attending.

Likes (Safety): Liverpool is a safe student city. It is safe if the student is within his limits of enjoyment; otherwise, every place has bad incidents going on. Be responsible wherever you go. I have never had a bad experience because I knew what I was doing and was always together with friends. It is safe if you are always in a group and not roaming around late at night alone to explore.

Dislikes (Internships): Internships are easy to get if you have a basic experience of 1- 2 years. There are many number of opportunities for internships in all fields. If applied on the right time and if it aligns with your background you will surely get it. Internships are available in my field, too. Just have to learn to apply sooner and connect with higher level employees on social media like LinkedIn.

The job market is in crisis, and it is difficult for international students because of visa.

Tips: The system is clear and easy. The assignments are given priority and are easy to do as well. Just have to give enough dedicated time and effort to clear the assignments. The exam system is handy as well, and easily scoreable question papers. I had a scholarship of 2500 pounds because India falls under the Commonwealth countries. I'm having a hard time finding an internship. As a Master's graduate, I've been finding it tough because companies provide internships to undergrad students instead of us. The job market is in crisis right now, and we international students are having an even harder time than usual because of Visa problems. Companies aren't ready to sponsor us, no matter what they say.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transport in Liverpool is so easy to use. The buses are cheap, charging only 2 pounds to take you anywhere within the city. Even the trains are cheap. It all adds up to a fast and convenient life here in Liverpool.
