Edge Hill University - EHU (reviews)

As an international student, I would definitely recommend Edge Hill University to everyone.

One of the things that stuck out to me was how student-centered Edge Hill is, from mental health to careers and even navigating life as a student. They support in anyway you might be having difficulty. I am enjoying my time at Edge Hill, and I am motivated to push myself out of my comfort zone and do things I wouldn’t usually do, like attending school events, volunteering, getting into sports, clubs and even being a course representative.

Classes are always recorded, so you can go back anytime you need clarification. Not only that, the lecturers are great and always willing to answer questions you may have, no matter how ridiculous you think they are. That is definitely something I struggle with, but I am learning to be comfortable asking questions cause they always get answered sincerely. Classes are interactive, so as someone with social anxiety, it forces me to get to know my course mates and interact with people cause you will be working with these people for group projects, so it is a good thing. Being at Edge Hill has shown me that everything I was scared or anxious about is really not a big deal. It’s not that it has rid me of all my anxiety and fears but it’s been helpful.

It has been a great experience so far and I am loving every minute of it.

I have recently started my second year at Edge Hill, doing Business and Management with Finance and Accounting (undergraduate).

I absolutely love it here – the campus is beautiful, there are heaps of opportunities to make good friends, resources available are amazing (for example the library has 4 floors, designated silent study areas as well as social spaces all around campus, several cafes across campus, careers support for finding placements/internships/part-time work).

My course is brilliant too – loads of support for studying and a lot of opportunities for extracurricular CV enhancing activities. Lecturers really care about you.

Accomodation is also great – rooms are spacious with enough space for everything you might bring with you and extra. Kitchens are decent, cleaners are nice, almost every single room in the uni is ensuite (apart from some in Forest Court).

I think the only (almost?) downside is the limited nightlife – Ormskirk is small, and there is only 1 club (called Alpine). Aside from that there are plenty of pubs, so you won’t run out of new places to try.

Anyway, I hope that this helps anyone who can’t make their mind up – after visiting an open day here and at the Uni of Manchester, I chose Edge Hill for all the stated reasons, despite it not being a Russell group uni 🙂

the campus is really beautiful and I love the town and surrendering area. during my time at edge hill I have’t really enjoyed the staffing and lecturing experience with most of my tethering just using powerpoint slides, low effort communication on email and poor time management on when classes are, I turned up to classes for there to be no students or for the teacher the inform us by email that they would be late. it’s a really great campus but I just can’t recommend the teaching.

I would never recommend this university to anybody especially not those with neurodiversity. When I asked the university for support about another student who I lived with harassing me and family members online they gaslit me and refused to get involved. Secondly the academic support they provided for my additional needs was appalling – people who were supposed to support me talked about themselves for most of the sessions I had, as though I was their therapist. It was so bad I opted to cancel the support offered. Since doing this the department neglected to follow up on how I was doing or ask why I ended my support sessions.
