The University of Manchester

Fresher's week is more or less the best time to be in manchester. The vibe of the city is nice as many people on the streets. It is lively with many offers and free food. Good exhibitions by university to spread awareness.

It was a lot and at first it was overwhelming but later realised I needed everything to be obvious and easily accessed or I would have no idea about all the opportunities available

Freshers week was really helpful to meet more people, find societies and find a lot of free stuff and discounted goods.

I enjoyed freshers week- lots of free stuff which was great! There were lots of offers on for pizza and gigs that I enjoyed signing up for with friends!

Everything in fresher's was amazing but some of the parties were a bit over priced for what they ended up being. Otherwise I mostly knew where and when to go somewhere and that there was always something on at night. The fresher's fair was really helpful for finding scoieties

Freshers week was fun but I wish I had waited until I had arrived before I booked tickets to certain events!

I stayed in Victoria halls although I applied for all fallowfield halls. VH was average at best. Move in experience was easy though! Worth buying the welcome week wristband, you’ll get to meet all other students and attend Pangea which is very good for freshers although not many others attend

My move in experience was great, the rest of my house had arrived earlier that day so we were all able to start getting to know eachother over a few drinks. The freshers package offered by the uni was quite expensive and I wasn't sure whether or not many people would be buying it so I decided not to. Think it would have been a good idea so that you can meet people that you wouldn't necessarily run into. Instead there were quite a few flat parties over the week.

Freshers week was really fun and enjoyable overall. Moving in was really nerve racking but everyone was really friendly and up for going out. The tip about propping your bedroom door open so people can pop in for a chat was really useful! You don't want to look unfriendly. The best night was the first time I went to Antwerp mansion because I hadn't been to a venue like that before.

Manchesters life is amazing. You can find everything in this place. A lot of international students so you will never get bored.

Met all my flat mates bar one who was moving in late, it was amazing. We went out every night for 2 weeks, brilliant! Then my ex boyfriend moved in. He was the final flat mate. Freshers ruined.

The freshers experience for me was relatively way for me down to the fact that I got on with the other students in my halls immediately. I would say in anticipation of this not to spend large amounts of money on the preorganised freshers ‘wristbands’ before getting to uni - wait to see what everyone is doing.

During freshers week the the university was a lively, vibrant place with various activities and freebies!

Move-in experience was amazing. Manchester is such an amazing place, full of students, pubs, clubs any place to go to. Massive international community so you wont get bored.
