I stayed in Weston Hall for 2 years during my time at uni in manchester, and can definately reccommend it to others. It is right next door to what used to be my main departmental building, and no more than a couple of minutes walk from what was then the main UMIST building. Although there was no free car parking, it didnt matter to me, as i didnt own a car then. Its only a few minutes walk from the main city centre, closer than most other halls of residence. Broadband internet can be accessed for an addittional ...  Read the complete review

For around six months I lived at Chandos Hall (no longer as I left my course at the University of Manchester for another) and I would commend it with only one reservation as I found it too far for comfort from the Manchester University, as it always took me around 15, 20 minutes to go between the two at the sort of speed I like going places and this is a conservative representation as I always felt myself rushed. Don't be fooled by the accommodation map - the scale's a fair bit smaller than it appears. I thought the massive motorway roundabout would be a quaint little thing with flowerbeds and adverts placed by local businesses in the middle bit! - For UMIST ...  Read the complete review

Just ignore the title ok? It's the result of a bored night last Christmas when some of my flatmates made up a song about the wonderful (can you hear the sarcasm ?) place in which we live. Actually it's not all that bad. I was dreading having to share a bathroom with 15 other girls, for example, but it's not that bad. Big thanks of course are due to our daily cleaners who leave everything spotless. The hall had 11 corridors which can house up to 16 students each. There's a kitchen / common room on each floor with a TV and enough fridge and feezer space and cookers etc. They provide crockery and cuttlery (and washing up liquid if you ...  Read the complete review

Lambert Hall is one of the newest halls on the UMIST campus, and on the campus it certainly is - the UMIST main building is literally next door, and the rest of the campus just a two minute walk away. Each room has it's own ensuite, with shower, toilet and sink, which is really nice although the floor floods very easily. The rooms are nice, not too small, and are arranged in flats of 5-10, sharing a lounge and kitchen. The kitchens have fridge freezers, microwaves, ovens, hobs etc, and the lounge has a TV with licence and a satellite or digital decoder. The lounge and kitchens are cleaned 2/3 times a week, so no rotas. =) Overall, this is a very ...  Read the complete review

Grosvenor Group of Halls, is by far the most popular UMIST student hall of residence. If you tried applying for a place here after your 1st year, then you would know how difficult this place can be to get. Having spent 3 years in either one these halls, I find it the best of the UMIST student halls mainly cause it has the best price-location combination. The fact that is it midway between Manchester and UMIST is an attractive option especially when you know that both universities share most of their facilities. You will also find the city centre, Asda (its like the best place for you to do your weekly food shopping), and Rusholme being only 15 mins walk in ...  Read the complete review
