LIVERPOOL

Live in a global city and study at a local University. Lying just 20-minutes from St Helens by train, lies the city of Liverpool. Built on an illustrious heritage that stretches back 800 years, Liverpool has a global reputation that was recognised in 2008 as the Capital of Culture. More recently, Liverpool has been named the third top city in the world after Rio De Janeiro and Sarajevo to visit in 2014 by Rough Guides. Whether you’re interested in art, theatre, music or sport, Liverpool has a wealth of places for you to visit. If you’re looking to shop until you drop, grab a bite to eat and finish your day by relaxing in a bar then there’s plenty of places available in Liverpool One and there’s lots of nightclubs around the city if you fancy a night of partying. Slightly further than Liverpool is the city of Manchester. Approximately 50 minutes by train from St Helens, Manchester is a world-class city which offers people a great place to live, work and visit. Manchester has an incredible talent pool of people; its airport and transport infrastructure competes on a global level and it boasts a diverse and high quality portfolio of businesses based there. Food wise, few places in the UK can match Manchester. From Michelin-starred restaurants to traditional home cooked pub food, Manchester has it all. From the designer boutiques of King Street or the high street chains around the Arndale Centre and St Ann’s Square, to the bohemian and vintage offering of Affleck’s Palace, Manchester‘s shopping options are countless.
