The University of Liverpool will give you some of the best experiences of your life. From Raz Mondays to the scousers, anyone who goes to/ went to the University of Liverpool will remember all of these things! Here are the 20 signs you go to the University of Liverpool!
You’re attending a Russell Group university, you’re high in the league tables and you’ve used this to justify the constant snobbery towards people that attend John Moores and Hope. You consider yourself royalty and they are your peasants. This tactic is used when there’s any competition.
Everyday was a struggle trying to get a seat in the library. During exam period, you’ve got no chance. Turning up at 1pm? You might as well go back to bed. You’ve got more chance of winning the lottery than you have finding a seat in the in the Sydney Jones anytime after 11.
You’d always get a taxi into town and it would only be £2 compared to your usual £10 at your hometown. You’d then have a chat with the Scouse taxi driver whose every other word was a swear. He’d be telling you in detail about the best places to go in Liverpool or about his personal life, that he was married to Sharon with two kids and supports Everton.
Going to Raz Mondays was an experience on it’s own. You knew to dress down because you didn’t want your dress and 7 inch heels to be ruined in the shit covered floor. You went to the bar to get 50p shots and the lethal “fat frogs”; a mix of different VK’s producing a bright green drink that was sure to make you feel a little queasy.
You’d crawl to your lecture in a plain top, primary jeans and some old trainers and probably hadn’t brushed your hair. You were met with 20 or 30 international students dressed in heels and accessorizing with Louis Vuitton handbags.
You’d come back from town absolutely hammered and chicken and chips were calling. You’d stop off after every night out at Krunch Fried Chicken to indulge whilst making friends with the owner and telling him your life story.
I mean what could be better than a bus full of drunk students shouting and cheering whilst downing echo falls wine? It was an experience you’d never forget, singing ‘Wonderwall’ in unison with your fellow freshers, waiting to get into town.
Becky from your course lived in Crown Place and she bragged about her 3/4 bed and massive shower that she had all to her herself. You were filled with envy as you settled down into your single bed and used your shared bathroom of 6 that stunk of wee in Carnatic halls.
Let’s face it, they were about 10 miles apart and after a hefty night on the sesh, it was an effort to get from one to the other on time. Also, by the time you’d got there, you’d nearly gone into cardiac arrest because you were so out of breath.
Kensington was a pretty scary place, with burglaries pretty much everyday and with one of the highest crime rates in Liverpool, you shook with fear at the thought of having to venture out there in the dark and having to walk past anyone dodgy looking.
Everywhere you go, you can’t escape the Beatles. You’re walking down the street and the Beatles tour bus will come past you blasting Penny Lane.
With it’s outdoor seating area and the various clubs surrounding it, Concert Square is the place to be. Whether it’s smoking shisha with you’re mates, clubbing in Soho and Modo or having a pint of Strongbow dark fruits on a sunny day, Concert Square is always buzzing.
Especially for the women, Scousers stood out from a crowd. Every time you were in town, you always knew that the women with their hair in curlers, pyjamas on, bright orange tans and long fake pink nails were Scousers preparing for a big Saturday night out.
Before hitting the clubs you’d head to Cava and try the different flavours of Tequila. The night hadn’t started before you’d downed a coffee or dandelion and burdock shot.
The Albert Dock was the place to be.
As soon as it hit May time and the sun came out, it seemed like half of the Uni headed to Abercromby square to crack open a few cans of cider, sit in the sun and occasionally cook a few aldi burgers on a disposable barbecue.
You know that Liverpool’s ‘red brick building’ status had derived from the famous red brick building just before the main campus, but you’ve never been in it. No one is really sure how to get in it or what’s inside, but it’s a pretty picture.
When you first start at the University of Liverpool, Scousers seemed to have a whole different language and it was so difficult to understand the Scouse accent and Scouse words and phrases. You couldn’t quite come to terms with the fact that a bacon sandwich was known as a Bacon ‘barm cake’.
It had it’s own unique shape and it was amazing inside. If you had exams in the Crypt underneath the Cathedral, you know it looked a bit like a prison and it smelt rusty old.
With it’s fantastic nightlife, it’s cheapness, the friendly Scousers and the amazing historical background, you knew that you couldn’t live anywhere nicer than Liverpool and you were extremely sad when you had to leave.
