Manchester

There is something for everyone in Manchester. An awesome variety of bars, clubs and live music every day of the week. Transport isn't at all bad, especially now tge route between halls and uni is buses only. There's so many places to eat affordable, Delicious food, but it takes insider knowledge to know where to go. It is a thriving city with so much going on that even 3yrs in I'm not at all bored of living here. I love Manchester!

Really good city. Always lots of club nights going on as well as concerts and pub quizzes etc if clubbing isn't your thing. The arndale is a great place to go shopping and the northern quarter is also there for if you're interested in a more alternative scene

Amazing nights out, great selection of different clubs to everyone’s taste. For such a big city, the value for money is fantastic. Accommodation is cheap, food/drinks are very cheap. The biggest student population of any university in the UK means there’s loads of new opportunities to make friends with similar people. Manchester can’t be beaten.

I enoyed everything, including the lectures them selves I made lots of new friends and it have me a huge confidence boost

Good area, could do with a few more places to eat at a cheaper price. Overall good area, the people are nice also, good area to go shopping especially arndale because they have plenty of shops and places to eat. Not far from the university either so in your break you could go and do some shopping.

There is everything anyone could possibly want to do. There is a wide range of eateries and shops including both large chains and independents. There is also a large number of galleries and museums and other culture to see. Much of this can be done on foot, and there are green spaces and walks e.g. along the canals. Trams allow transport further out for a reasonable price so there is even more to see with relative ease.

So many bars, and places to eat. I love how you can easily join clubs, and meet new people and people come from all over which is great to have friends from all over the country. And being able to live just outside the city centre in affordable housing is great too. I love it

The nights out in Manchester are poppin’ everyone knows how to have a good time. Deans gate is amazing on certain nights able to meet the right fella or las. You’ll never be short for a Uber or taxi

Amazing city, great people, great nightlife, lots of vegan options. City centre is very safe, huge selection of chain shops as well as local ones, great music, great everything.

Great nights out, great takeaways on a night out and shopping is amazing Trafford centre Arndale etc cheap drinks (kind off)

Night life is amazing!! Less overwhelmed by the big city than I initially thought and with all the shops you have everything you could possibly need.

For students the city is fantastic, there's so much to do and you'll never be bored. The transport system is pretty good and cabs aren't too expensive. You get all the amenities of a big city with Northern prices - especially for alcohol. Nights out are pretty cheap. Overall the people are lovely and it's just a great place to be.

Best nights out in england, cheap drinks, cheap entries. Amazing choice of food. Many places to go for entertainment such as mini golf. Almost famous in great northern has the best burgers in town

Manchester is a vibrant city with lots going on to suit all walks of life and interests! The nightlife is spread around different areas of the city but are all easily accessible either by walking or public transport.

Manchester is an amazing vibrant city with something for everyone. There are so many nightclubs with music for everyone, whether it be 42s for the indie genre or Antwerp Mansion for techno and drum&bass. The shopping is endless as well from well known brands such as New Look and Topshop being in the Arndale Centre or more alternative brands in Afflecks in the Northern Quarter. The Northern Quarter is also a great place to bag yourself some cheap vintage clothing. Overall, whoever you are, Manchester will have something for you to enjoy.

Right in the city centre, surrounded by hundreds of bars, restaurants, shops and any other entertainment you could think of, all accessible by either a short walk or the £1 Megabus. Or maybe you just want to chill out in All Saints' little park or Piccadilly gardens. Everything's there, it's up to you to decide what you want to do!

Brilliant city, get everything a city can offer but also very cheap. Whether you’re at UoM or MMU you’ll have a great university experience especially freshers. DO NOT MISS IT. And try as hard as you can to make sure you’re in halls in first year or you won’t really live the first year experience but it is also okay if you’re not, you’ll still have tonnes of fun

Sometimes food shopping gets expensive as Tesco is always around the corner but if you find a Lidl or Aldi then it's really cheap, overall the university is a fantastic place

Public transport is great. Easy to get around. Night life is pretty good, some nice cheap clubs for students.

Anywhere in town is good, it is amazing for drinking, shopping with the arndale and unbelievable for a good day out

It’s the best place for everything! Anything you think you want to do you can do in Manchester! If you live in fallowfield then it’s the perfect place for a student you can pre at the tower then head to the northern quarter or factory/fifth/ 42s which is personally my favourite. It’s all such good value for money and is my favourite city!

The University of Manchester is very close to the city centre and also to the halls of accommodation. The area around the uni is full of bars and pubs for the drinkers and fast-food restaurants for the eaters!

Fab fab fab

I think Manchester is in a great location. It has great links to the peak district and close by to other cities such as Liverpool and Sheffield. Strong rail links with London and Edinburgh are something I have taken advantage of since living in Manchester. The city itself is very accessible although my only critism would be that the tram that Manchester boasts about doesnt go to student areas which is a great shame!
