Is it really worth it?

Most of my mates are going away anyway so i'll be forced to meet new people. And all these new things your talking about, do you mean paying rent and cooking food because that really doesnt excite me too much.
I think you should try to go to a uni a reasonable distance from your home. It encourages you to get out there and meet new people and see new things. I'm from near Brighton, which has a very decent uni (Sussex, not Brighton), but I decided to go all the way to York! (I agree this is a bit extreme!)
If you stay near your home, you have no incentive to make new friends or try new things, which is part of what going to uni is all about. It makes you (in theory) a more rounded person. You get to meet people from all over the country and, indeed, the rest of the world. If you can just pop down the local with all of your mates from college, that's too easy and you can miss out on a lot of stuff.
One of my friends went to Brighton and lived at home in her first year, partly because of her b/f. But, she moved to Brighton for the next two years and was much happier.
Just my two cents!

Liverpool is great. I know it has a bad stereotype but it is honsetly one of the friendliest places ever. It obviously has bad point, but all big cities do. The nature of the local people is just so much better than anywhere else. There are areas that are 'common'but as a student you would be mainly staying in the city centre away from these areas. My cousin went to Leeds and ive been on holiday to Leicester and I would say Livepool beats both hands down.
