Halls Student Committees (HSC)

While living in Halls, you have the opportunity to become a HSC member!  Being part of your HSC means you'll work with other residents to make sure that everyone has the best time whilst living in Halls. You'll do this by attending meetings and making sure students opinions are heard. HSCs work with a budget to help promote a sense of community through planning exciting events, trips, activities and meeting new people. 

If you want to join your HSC, email hsc@liverpool.ac.uk and we'll get you started! 

Halls Give it a Go

The Halls Give it a Go programme (GIAG) is run by the Guild of Students and the Halls Life Team and gives you the chance to try loads of new activities and visit new places. Most of the activities are either free or heavily discounted (up to 75% off). GIAG gives you a chance to meet other students, make new friends and try something new without paying the high price tag. Halls GIAG trips and events will be advertised on our Facebook groups, weekly email and on the Guild's website.

Sustainability in Halls

Throughout the year the Guild host sustainable events and activities, as well as lots of campaigns, competitions and activities provided by Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS-UK). If you're interested in sustainable living and getting involved, keep an eye on our social media, weekly email and the Guild's page. 

SOS-UK will offer lots of competitions to encourage residents to think as sustainably as possible. There will also be a recycling audit to see just how well you and your flatmates recycle. All of these scores will contribute to your hall's place in the overall leader board at the end of the year! 

Societies

At the University of Liverpool, pretty much every interest is covered by a society - from beekeeping to comic books to baking there is plenty to get involved in. A society is group of students with similar interests who come together to learn, organise and experience their passions in life! Find out more about the societies at Liverpool Guild here.
