How to Apply
Our accommodation is very popular, so we suggest applying right after you get your acceptance to study at the University of Liverpool. You don't have to wait until you pick Liverpool as your top choice on UCAS. It's first-come, first-served, so applying early gives you a better chance of getting one of your preferences.
TOP 4 THINGS TO REMEMBER
- Once you have your Student ID/Reference Number you can make an application on Liverpool Life.
- You can apply without confirming UOL as your insurance or firm choice.
- Accommodation offers will only be sent to students once they have met the conditions of their offer. Typically, this will happen in August once they have received their A-Level results.
- The four preferences you’ve selected on your applications are not guaranteed, it is subject to availability.
Applying is simple
- Research your hall
- Register on Liverpool Life
Take a look at what accommodation we have available, and decide on the best fit for you. We have a range of accommodation options available both in our halls and with our Preferred Providers Check out the property information here. If you receive an offer from our preferred provider your tenancy agreement will be with the provider, not the University of Liverpool.
Please note we have now removed Crown Place as a preference for Undergraduates for 2024/25
This is because we have received enough applications for this hall - we have held back rooms so that if you are a Conditional Offer Holder you may still receive this as an offer. However as we say throughout this process please know your preference is not guaranteed. New applications will not be able to select Crown Place as a preference of hall.
To make your accommodation application you will need to register on Liverpool life.

Preferences
You will be able to select four preferences on your application please be aware that preferences are not guaranteed. We try our best to allocate you to your preferences, however it is subject to availability. If we can't provide one of your preferred choices, we'll do our best to offer the next best available room.

My gender is showing up as 'N' on my accommodation application - what do I do?
Please do not contact us regarding this unless you have requested to be within a single sex flat on your application. This is an error pulled through from UCAS and we will still allocate you to a mixed sex flat if that is your preference on your application. If you have requested a single sex flat just drop us an email with your preferred gender.
Medical Requirements and Reasonable Adjustments
If you require specific adjustments to your accommodation or for your learning experience, it is vital that you provide any medical requirements you may have when submitting your application. For more information regarding priority rooms please visit here
