University of Manchester in general Reviews

My initial application to the University of Manchester was based on reputation, high grade boundaries and the vibrant city background. Not particularly one for peaceful surroundings, Manchester acted as a second to London which seemed too vast, and expensive to survive in. One benefits from a great cultural diversity in Manchester as a city, and ...  Read the complete review

I think one of the best advantages of being at the Manchester University is that it has now been joined with Umist (University of Manchester institute of Science and Technology) which not only makes it the biggest University in Europe, it also means that there is a wider variety of subjects in which the University has to ...  Read the complete review

Manchester is a great place to live. It is very lively, diverse and there's always something new opening up. The city centre looks amazing, very modern and some great shops and bars etc. But it's also very grey at times and depressing. If you're looking for accomodation - YES: Fallowfield, Withington, Didsbury (lots to do, nice leafy ...  Read the complete review

Manchester is a fantastic place to go and study. The courses and facilities that the University has to offer are second to none, so it is hardly surprising that competition for places is high. The university has one of the biggest libraries in the land and a mass of courses from which to choose. The city offers more shops, pubs, clubs ...  Read the complete review

Manchester University is easy to get to, Oxford Road Train Station is ten minutes walk away, there is always a bus or a taxi and failing that walking isnt too bad because the campus itself is compact. Most halls of residence are at least ten minutes walk away from the campus, but is of good quality and variety. It is possible to have an ...  Read the complete review

Manchester Sucks. It may be big, it may be bold, but its downright ugly at the same time. grey slabs of concrete is the main memory I carry from my visit to this Uni. Ok, so the city itself is pretty exciting with more activites and distractions than a student could ever hope for, but that comes at a price. The crime rate is awful, its ...  Read the complete review

This uni is well established with an excellent reputation and is located near the city centre, for lots of shopping, drinking and clubbing. ...  Read the complete review

I can thoroughly recommend Manchester as a great place to be, both for the University and the city itself. One great advantage Manchester has for students is that there are around 40,000 students studying at the three main Universities in the city. This ensures that there is a wide range of services, shops and pubs to cater for students needs. ...  Read the complete review

Fallowfield has got to be the student capital of the world. The average age of people living there must be about 21 which makes it the liveliest place to live in Manchester. All the best halls of residence are there and the student housing in the area is not very expensive. Rent ranges from £30-£50 but the quality of housing does not ...  Read the complete review
