University of Manchester in general

My initial application to the University of Manchester was based on reputation, high grade boundaries and the vibrant city background.

I’m in my third year at The University of Manchester and am thoroughly enjoying my time here. I’m in my final year of studying for a Joint Honours in English and French and have just finished my Semester 1 exams. Before coming to University in Manchester I’d had very little contact with the city apart from visiting it back in 2001 for a friend’s birthday weekend so it was a relatively new experience. Manchester University is situated on and around Oxford Road which is one of the main roads leading straight into the city centre, it’s approximately 10 minutes on the bus to the centre of Manchester so the location is really good.
