Advantages: cool courses, cool teaching staff

Disadvantages: none

I am almost at the end of my first year at Manchester Metropolitan University. I am reading History of Film and Media and I must say not only is the course very interesting but Manchester is the second coolest city in England after London. The teaching staff are helpful, friendly and actually very laidback dudes (The head of the department David Huxley wears a leather biker jacket-cool or what?). I like the Met because everything is just so chilled.

Manchester Met has the largest student quota in Europe, something like 30,000 people study here. I found university life both daunting and terrifying in equal measure but after eight months the Manchester 'cool' vibe seems to have rubbed off on me. Even the shopkeepers, police and homeless people are just so damn easy going and chilled. Maybe its the large amounts of marijuana or just 'joie de vivre'.

The university has a lot of courses to choose from and I may not have a lot to say about the place other than 'Trust me its cool'.

There are tonnes of cool pubs and clubs like 5th Avenue, 42nd St, The Hanger, The Footage and all of them pander to students so the beer and food is cheap and nice. They also open later than most provincial clubs around the country.

This is a short opinion but if you are choosing to do a degree choose Manchester, the place and people are cool.
