A Brief History

LJMU originally opened as an Art’s School back in 1823. Named after one of Liverpool’s greatest entrepreneurs, it’s located at 70 Mount Pleasant and received its university status in 1992.

All of the courses offered at LJMU are designed and executed in a way to prepare you for work once you have graduated. Throughout your studies with the university, you’ll understand what it’s like to work and live in the real world as an adult, and all of the LJMU staff are dedicated to using the best teaching methods.

With modern facilities and classrooms, it’s not surprising why this is one of the most sought-after universities in the UK.

The Campus

The university has three campuses in Liverpool – the city campus, Mount Pleasant Campus and the IM Marsh campus. All are located within walking distance of the city centre and are home to different faculties.

The best LJMU accommodation is not just one within walking distance to the university itself. With great transport links, you’ll also be able to experience great areas like Aigburth if the busy life in the city centre is not for you.

Each year, LJMU has around 20,000 students at their campuses thanks to their top-rated courses and their central location in the northwest of England.

When you’re an LJMU student, life is centred around City Campus, Mount Pleasant and Copperas Hill. Most are looking for well-situated properties that make getting in and out of the city easy. Living in the right area can mean less time commuting and more time for lectures (plus late-night library sessions, part-time work and seeing friends). It also helps to be close to everyday essentials, like regular bus routes, cafés, gyms and supermarkets.  

If you’re house-hunting with friends, looking for John Moores student accommodation in established student areas keeps you connected to campus life without restricting you to a specific house size or layout. For students who want a more independent setup, smaller LJMU accommodation can be practical, too.

FAQs

The best location usually comes down to how often you need to be on campus. We have LJMU accommodation in areas such as Aigburth, Allerton, the City Centre, Kensington, Sefton Park, and Wavertree.

Start with the basics: study space, security, laundry, transport links and the right room setup for your budget. After that, think about extras such as en-suite rooms, parking, bike storage or living with a larger group.

A good starting point is to think about your routine: where are your lectures based? Do you want the quieter, residential feel of Sefton Park or something closer to the City Centre? From there, you can narrow down your options.

If you want to live with a group, or you have a clear idea of the area/property style you want, it’s a good idea to start looking early. Starting your search sooner gives you more choice and a better chance of finding the right accommodation.
