'Old' and loved Liverpool student halls that didn't need 'the wow factor'

Former Liverpool student halls that "didn't need the wow factor" were loved by generations of students for decades.

If you ever studied at the University of Liverpool, it's likely you lived, visited, or at least knew somebody who once called the famous Carnatic Halls of Residence home. For many, it was the second place they had ever lived - and where thousands upon thousands of students started life as independent adults

Located in Mossley Hill, it was loved for its "outdated" style, from paper thin walls to squeaky doors. A bus ride or taxi drive home was always part of the day to day routine and while the "legendary" halls may not have been luxurious, it was all part of the Carnatic experience.
