The Lloyds Bank University Quality of Life Rankings were released today, placing the University of Liverpool was in the top 30. Durham came 1st place, where 9 out of 10 students are happy with their course.
The survey considered factors such as social life, sports and crime rates. Another measure was that of quality of accommodation, a field in which Liveprool has an interesting past.
Manchester and its 245 pubs and bars came 8th, but it’s just a shame that nobody has heard of it.
