STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
Liverpool has a lot of ideal
accommodation for students, with plenty
of places located in the city centre, just a
short walk to the universities. There are
also cheaper options just outside the city
centre, which are convenient options for
students in a lower price range.
The city centre has one of the highest
average rents in the area of £84, but is in
a prime location for students in relation
to both the Universities and nightlife. With
a satisfaction level of 74%, it is certainly
value for money.
Users of the AFS website have given
Liverpool an overall satisfaction score
of 62%, ranking it highly compared with
other cities.
Students were particularly impressed
with the proximity of accommodation
to the University campuses and the
availability of public transportation.
LIVERPOOL
The average room rental in 2013 was
£70, which a lot lower than the national

other student cities, such as Manchester,
Leeds and Nottingham.
Popular locations for students include
Kensington and Aigburth. These areas
have an average satisfaction of 60% and
46% respectively, with average rental
rates of £60 and £59 per week. However,
these areas do require public transport to
get to University campuses.

AFS TOP TIP
Liverpool is a very student-friendly
location, with hoards of students located
all over the city. The city centre is a
very good location but Wavertree has
a cheaper average rent of £61 and a
satisfaction rating of 60%. It requires
transport to reach the centre but buses
are every five minutes, so it’s very
convenient as a cheaper alternative.
