University of Liverpool — Attraction in Liverpool

I was a mature student at the Uni of Liverpool. I would have to say the year i spent there was one of the worst and most stressful times of my life. I suffer from anxiety and the university were not understanding of this at all. Also as a single mother and mature student i thought i might of got some help however i had to pay for all books, they asked me to pay hundreds of pounds for a medical assessment to prove i had anxiety although i had doctors notes so that i could get extra help. My department which i emailed numerous times explaining my distress and begging for help ignored me. The last part of term they messaged me about attendance i referred to previous emails and the fact they had been ignored and my reply was "thanks for letting us know". I had a break down in uni because i was that upset and distressed with one tutor who refused to mark my work because i wouldn't come into a class full of people as i had an anxiety attack when i did, even though i offered to come before class. When i decided to continue my degree at open uni the department would not let me resit the 2 exams i missed when i was in hospital despite me having proof i was in hospital. My ex partner is a student at LJMU, they are amazing with him, he gets so much help, he got free medical assessments, even the dyslexia one in which he found out he had dyslexia, and he got loads of free stuff and a guy come out to the house to show him how to use it all. He got a large grant of the access to learning fund so that he could buy a car so it wouldnt affect his other responsibilities(working and looking after our daughter) he got loads of free books.

Also Uni of Liverpool, considering they have an online system to view your marks they dont use this, you have to go into uni to get your marks(a little behind with technology there) which ljmu are always posted online with feed back. I had a receipt for a piece of work i gave in(also you have to hand this in on paper as opposed to online) which they lost therefore i will only get a pass for this!!!

This uni caters for your students living in and which parents support them. I advise mature students to...

Unhappy with quality of online resources through pandemic, most lecturers seem to know a lot except how to teach well. They closed an entire library near the start of exam season and their only attempt at mitigating the effects of this was to give a 5-day extension on assignments for a few months. This was different to the support at the beginning of the pandemic where we could retain our previous grades if our achievement understandably fell due to substandard online courses and the pandemic, even though the situation was no different, and some other universities continued to implement this.

When the university has been open it has been great doing Computer Science and the computer labs (while open) offer very good hardware, but during the pandemic the support and 'remote access' labs have been rubbish and I have felt terrible.

I hope third year and study abroad (if available next year) will begin to make up for this, in which case I will edit my review somewhat.

Edit 1: Artificial Intelligence lecturer Xiaowei Huang as well as offering poor online resources has also caused the online exam to have an issue which means we now all have to retake it. This could have been mitigated by testing and checking the exam...

Absolutely awful, student service support provides no help whatsoever, been signed out of canvas and it is impossible to log back in, as a result of having a different phone number. The lecturers are appalling, no effort is made to plan lectures, no professor engages a lecture theatre. They can’t even simply project their voice. The lectures are dull, boring and nothing is learned from any student, everyone simply stares blankly into empty space waiting to pass time whilst looking at their phones . With the 9k i have paid for the first year and begin to pay for my second year, I have had nothing in return, complete waste of money, the bare minimum would be to receive some information and help about them courses modules. The reputation of this uni has nothing to do with what the university offers, or teaches its students. It is entirely down to the students to work hard and discover any possible information they can collect from the small range of resources that...
