University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in general

I am currently in my second year studying maths and management sciences at UMIST. The reasons I chose UMIST were as follows: * The open day was extremely well organised. * UMIST's excellent employability and average graduate sallaries were hammered into us. * The first year course looked interesting. * Entry standards were high (AAB). * Manchester is a "brilliant place to live if you are a student". * Their management school is "one of the best in Europe". However, after only a few weeks it became apparant that maybe I had not chosen my university wisely. For a start, when you tell people that you are ...  Read the complete review

Well, there is currently a promotional offer in China Town retailer outlets which are selling all the 20 pound phone cards for 16.50 pound. In fact, one of the those which appeals to me is the Swiftcall. The rate of the phone call is by far the cheapest (however this is not exhaustive) and the safest.

Being a UMIST student , i will definitely give a thumb up to this university. It is definitely a well-established university for engineering subjects. Besides its well known research and teaching, convenience is another reason that you should choose this university. This university is situated right at the heart of Manchester. It is so near to the town centre that you can actually walk there during a short lunch break. Besides, it has a rather large China town that you can find all kinds of Asian food that won't make you miss your "mama's" home cooked food when studying abroad. ...  Read the complete review
