Introduction
When it comes to Liverpool, everyone thinks of the Beatles, but you will see that Liverpool has to offer students much more. The history of this city goes back to 1207 when king John announced his plan to make a port and borough called Liverpool. Trade of spices, such as dill, sugar, and molasses, with America and the Caribbean, made this city the second most important port in the UK in the 18th century. From that time Liverpool became one of the most important cities in the UK with many interesting places for everybody, especially young adults.
Liverpool John Lennon airport
When you land on Liverpool soil, you will probably land at John Lennon airport. If you ask yourself who John Lennon is, you should know that he was the Beatles’ frontman, one of the most popular UK bands of all time, besides The Queen and The Rolling Stones. The Beatles were active for ten years, from 1960 to 1970 with songs such as Help, Let it be, and Hey, Jude. Unfortunately, Lennon was killed on the 8th of December 1980 in front of the building where he lived. But enough with informal education.
Important institutions for student
If you come to a foreign country to study, you should inform yourself what institutions and spots can help you manage your studies. When we talk about Liverpool, its first university was founded in 1881 and features dozens of courses. From Aerospace Engineering to Industrial Design and Screen Industries and Entertainment.
For English literature students, there’s plenty to explore. Amazing Liverpool Central Library will help you find literature for essay writing. UK English differs from the US, so you might need to find an essay writing service to check or improve your writing. Also, you should visit the interesting book shop “News From Nowhere”. It is a radical and community bookshop that is not oriented just on profit. There’s no boss; all workers have equal salaries and share tasks among themselves.
If you are an art student, you must visit Tate Gallery. It features several free exhibitions, such as Candice Breitz: Love Story and Journeys through the Tate collection.
Driving on the right side
The important thing you should know about British traffic is that they drive on the right side, so if you rent a car, you have to get used to driving on the right side of the road. Some research shows that large numbers of Brits have a big fear of driving on the wrong side when they come to the continent. Should they also fear American students in Britain? It would be great if you take some driving lessons in the UK before you jump into the car.
Your favorite American food
Nothing will make you feel at home like food. Liverpool offers so many restaurants with American food that you enjoyed during your studies in America. First of all, you must taste pizza and burgers, and check if they make it as they do in your favourite restaurant back home. If you are a vegan, you should explore dozens of spots with vegan Indian food, falafel, and even vegan junk food. Fortunately, Brits take care of their health so you can find many restaurants that serve gluten-free food.
For dessert, you can choose between macaroons, muffins, pies, cheesecakes, and good guess, a hundred kinds of donates!
Relax and entertainment spots
Even your teacher will tell you to relax and visit some interesting places in this amazing city. As an American student in Britain, you should explore the new city as much as you can. If you are a nature lover, you can take a walk around Sefton Park and visit the imposing Palm House. You can also take a ferry across the Mersey River which name means “boundary river”, probably because it was the border between the ancient kingdoms of Northumbria and Mercia.
You can’t leave Liverpool without visiting Crosby Beach. The place with the most beautiful sunsets and views across the sea to North Wales Hills.
For those who like to relax differently, there are sports and other activities. You should come to the Everyman Cinema and enjoy a film in comfy sofa seats with food and drinks. Liverpool features several amazing places with arcade gaming, escape rooms, and indoor paintball. To learn something about Tudors, you should visit Speke Hall, a Tudors house surrounded by a beautiful garden.
Conclusion
Liverpool doesn’t have just a Beatles, isn’t it? This city offers respectable academic institutions, and so much more. We encourage you to explore different places, both for learning and leisure. It doesn’t matter which course you take in America; you will discover fun and learning opportunities at every step in Liverpool. All you need to do is bravely step forward.
