I am currently doing my postgraduate degree in Media, Culture and Everyday Life at the University of Liverpool. Whilst I have enjoyed the academic aspects of the course, and the excellence of the teaching staff, I would definitely urge prospective students to consider other factors before coming here. I have experienced a considerable lack of pastoral support, and difficulty in accessing mental health resources. There is also a lack of community feel in comparison to my last university, the University of Sheffield, and the societies are less active in organising events.
