CARNATIC HALLS OF RESIDENCE 

Carnatic Halls are set in beautiful parkland 

about three miles away from the city centre in 

the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool, close to the 

University’s sports grounds at Wyncote. The 

area surrounding the Carnatic Halls has a 

growing nightlife and a great choice of shops, 

bars, cafés and a cinema. 

Each Hall of Residence has a Warden and a 

team of Residential Advisors who live in or near 

to the Halls. Their role is to provide support and 

advice to students and they play an active role 

in Hall life. Duty Residential Advisors are also 

available in the evenings and through the night 

at each Hall in case of emergency. 

On-site there are three laundrettes, two 

computer rooms, a library, music rooms, TV 

rooms, a cash machine, quiet rooms, secured 

bike stores and sporting facilities including two 

squash courts, tennis courts, snooker, pool 

and table tennis. There is also a cafeteria style 

restaurant and a fantastic bar. These facilities 

are shared by all six Halls - so there is plenty of 

opportunity to meet your fellow students and 

make new friends. 

GREENBANK HALLS OF RESIDENCE 

Greenbank Halls are situated in parkland about 

three miles from the city centre in the grounds 

of Greenbank House, the former home of the 

Rathbone family. The area is close to Sefton 

Park and has a great choice of shops, bars, 

cafés and a cinema. 

Each Hall of Residence has a Warden and a 

team of Residential Advisors who live in or near 

to the Halls. Their role is to provide support and 

advice to students and they play an active role 

in Hall life. Duty Residential Advisors are also 

available in the evenings and through the night 

at each Hall in case of emergency. 

Derby and Rathbone Hall has a variety of 

accommodation available to students and 

offers catered and self-catered en-suite 

facilities. As the number of en-suite rooms is 

very limited they are usually allocated to students 

with an unconditional firm offer. If you have a 

medical reason for needing an en-suite room 

please contact the Accommodation Office. 

The facilities on-site are a laundrette at each 

Hall, computer room, music room, TV room, 

quiet rooms, secured bike stores and sporting 

facilities including gym, tennis courts, snooker, 

pool and table tennis. There is also a newly 

refurbished cafeteria style restaurant and a bar. 

These facilities are shared by both Halls – so 

there is plenty of opportunity to socialise with 

your new friends. 

CAMPUS HALLS OF RESIDENCE 

The University's main self-catering 

accommodation is situated either on or very 

close to the University campus. Flats for six 

to ten students, sharing bathroom and kitchen 

facilities, or self-contained flats for couples are 

available. Some en-suite accommodation 

is available although it is limited. 

Each self-catering residence has a manager 

who is responsible for the day-to-day 

supervision and management of the residence. 

At each residence there is also a team of 

Residential Advisors who offer out of office 

hours support and advice. 

Accommodation costs over the next few 

pages are for 2012/2013 and are included 

for indicative purposes. For the very latest 

details on Catering, Hall Facilities, latest

My current accommodation 

has allowed me to enjoy the best 

aspects of the vibrant student life 

that Liverpool has to offer; while 

at the same time it has offered 

me a refuge when dedicating 

my time to the academic 

aspects of my degree.

My experience of living in 

University residences over the 

past four years has been very 

positive. The campus residences 

provide an excellent balance 

between having your own 

independent space in the city, 

and having the support of the 

friendly management and 

accommodation team. The 

Halls have a friendly peaceful 

atmosphere and are a great 

place to live and study.

I found that living in halls 

in the first year was a great 

experience and would really 

recommend it to anyone who’s 

a long way from home. It’s a 

great chance to meet new people 

and you have lots of fun!
