The theme of the month for January is Edge Hill University’s campus, so I thought I’d write my first blog post of 2014 on this topic. Edge Hill’s campus is by far the most picturesque campus I have ever had the great fortune to study on. Not only is it picturesque with its green spaces and two lakes but it is also ideally suited so that Liverpool is easily accessible by car or by a thirty minute train ride (via Ormskirk station), which is great when you want a night out or want some retail therapy at Liverpool One shopping center.
The campus’ visual appeal and location aren’t the only good things about the campus. Over the last few years millions of pounds have been spent, expanding its existing 160 acres by adding more buildings, such as a new state of the art sports center (due for completion in 2015) and more student accommodation.Which means the campus is a mix of old and modern architecture (the main building dates back to the early 1930’s when Edge Hill was a teaching college before world war 2).
If you want to see the campus for yourself then there is a video below giving you a quick tour of the campus, or alternatively you can book yourself a place on a monthly campus tour where you will be guided around by a student guide, who will show you the different halls of residence along with the other buildings on campus as well as answer any burning questions you may have (the link to this is also below) 🙂
