I thought I would tell you a little bit about Ormskirk, the town has got a lot to offer and it is really easy to escape to some big place like Liverpool, Southport or Manchester.
By train you can get to Liverpool in 30mn. There is a bus running every 10 minutes from the campus. I usually walk and it takes me about 10-15 minutes max.
By Car:
The university is 10 mn drive from the M58 from there the world is your oyster!
You will find everything you need on Campus, shop, bar (Venue), laundry etc…
