Vote now: Liverpool’s best halls

The age old debate is about to be put to bed

| UPDATED

Whether you’ll forever hold the classic Carni in your heart or you’re a posh fresher who’s snubbed it for Crown Place, halls will define your time at uni.

Your first year will be full of so many memories, and no doubt you’ll insist wherever you were was the best – but there can only be one winner.

Carnatic Student Village

Beautiful hedgerows

A village is one word for it. Carnatic is a concrete paradise where mildly antisocial behaviour is par for the course and you can eat peas with mysterious tiny onions in them to your heart’s content.

Boasting delightful water features and a few nice ducks, students can relax on the big green or in the tastefully decorated Carnibar. If you’ve got your back to the main building it actually looks quite nice.

Greenbank Student Village

Rolling hills and lakeside views (excuse the Instagram filter)

Posher than Carnatic, but still a bit crumbly, Greenbank is the mid-range Merlot to Carnatic’s paint stripping Chardonnay. Boasts its own gym and an actual pond, and is closer to the University than its rival.

You’ll probably have as much as a laugh here as well, but in (slightly) nicer conditions.

Mulberry Court

What a lovely shade of cobalt blue

Boasting a cute name sounding like something out of Sylvainian families, not much else is known about Mullberry Court as it is occupied by mostly international students and post-grads.

The exterior doesn’t seem to promise much to match the adorable sounding “Walnut house”, but there may be some sort of fairytale wonderland through those blue gates.

Tudor Close

Large, attractive entrance spaces

See above, but situated right next to Abercromby square and less magical sounding.

Dover Court

Apparently it exists, somewhere.

Crown Place

Cladding is great

A big, pixelated fire was erected on campus this year with the arrival of Crown Place, and the prices are as extortionate as the plush Vine Court.

Popular with posh freshers, Crown Place is for people who can’t hack the grot but still want to boast to their mates from home about how fun halls are.

Vine Court

Posh

Last year Vine Court was renowned for housing the rich kids of the University before Crown Place arrived.

The bedrooms come with actual double beds and you don’t have to share a bathroom with your unhygenic flatmates who aren’t fussed about throwing up in one of the communal sinks.

Plus the flats have an actual living room with actual televisions, and you don’t need to shell out £300 for a bus pass as it’s slap bang on campus. New contender Crown Place seems to have usurped this year’s intake of first years, however.

Melville Grove

Taking inspiration from Greco-Roman architecture

Another one for the international students, Melville Grove resembles one of the nicer ex-council housing estates. It is currently having its entrance refurbished, which is a shame because that really ruined the picture.

Thats the lot, get voting.
