“I came as an international student from America. The campus is beautiful and the international office is very helpful. Ormskirk is not the best place for a night out, but Liverpool isn’t too far away and is always a good option. I stayed in Main Halls and the accommodation was average, it didn’t impress me.”

“Edge Hill has managed to create a supportive environment with good facilities and affordable, quality accommodation. The lecturers are the stars for me though, as they’ve helped me whenever I needed it.”
