When I was at Manchester University the one problem was accommodation.Before you even start your course you really need to sort the accommodation factor out. Accommodation can be very costly and you should really think about having somebody else living with you or else the expenses of living in a place can be expensive. The best thing to do is get a flat because its small and the rent price for it is not high at all. They have some fantastic prices for flats in Manchester but other bills will make it still costy. If you know somebody who goes to the same university as you ask them to live with you and go halves on the rent. By doing this the rent is ...  Read the complete review

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
