  • Our university has just one campus but many buildings within it.
  • We have sports grounds, gyms, a pool, libraries, study areas, cafes, bars, and even a small market on campus.
  • We have Oktoberfest; freshers week is full of starter fairs.
  • There are extracurricular activities such as badminton tournaments, knitting and painting events, free movie nights, spin the wheel giveaways, etc.

  • I found my accommodation through the sanctuary students website with the help of my consultants at TFM Overseas Education Consultants.
  • My monthly rent is 848 pounds, and we have all bills included along with free Wi-Fi. We have to pay for our laundry separately at the accommodation itself.
  • I found it difficult to pay the entire rent at one go
  • I would suggest looking for co-living flats if you want to go for something more affordable. But if your budget is comfortable, go for student accommodation.
  • It was only a 10 minute walk. Most indian students stay in student accommodations near the campus or in salford apartments.

  • Sports facilities, name any sport, UoM has it. Although it is not in the university area but spread across Manchester. 
  • As I said before, there's something happening everyday. 
  • Social events almost every 2 days. 
  • 532 kitchen and bar has a uni event almost every week. 
  • Arcade takeovers, Pool, table tennis, everything.

  • Off campus. Near City centre. 
  • I used UniAcco but I would advise students to simply go to the website of the accommodation site and book it directly because agencies take a fee of 100 pounds which is so not worth it. 
  • 235 per week rent. 
  • Getting uni accommodation is the best, it is way cheaper, starting around 150 i guess. It's best to stay there.

  • Events and extracurriculars are a part of beautiful campus life. I personally got a chance to attend a field trip from my university to the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, a home to many aircraft, missiles and other things used in World Wars and are now stationed at the museum. Moreover, you can be a part of international cultural society, where you can help organise events.

  • I searched through local agents. This can be considered cost-effective as compared to on-campus accommodation. The only drawback of staying off campus is that you don't make friends easily, which can make you feel home-sick at times. I have seen a lot of students staying on campus being more involved in groups.

  • We have a huge campus with one main library that is open 24x7. For students who want to, they can book library and other university buildings study rooms for private study areas, and the same can be done for using software such as Bloomberg. With a separate Student Union body, there are all sorts of muti-cultural events going on campus.

  • I searched for the accommodations months in advance and I emphasise the need for students to book their accommodations as early as possible. Because as time runs short, the prices skyrocket. Also, the location of accommodation matters a lot—how close it is to the university, the closest market and bus stations, etc.

  • There are a lot of campuses. I don't even know how many because engineering is different, hard sciences are different, cs have their own graphene institute and medical have their own but largely its north, main and south campus as how we as students speak about them. 
  • As for buildings they definitely have countless. The university’s libraries, including the Main Library and specialist libraries, provide essential study spaces and resources. Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of state-of-the-art fitness facilities, like the Armitage Sports Centre, which supports numerous sports activities ranging from football to swimming. 
  • Student life at Manchester is vibrant, with over 400 clubs and societies catering to a wide array of interests. Whether you are into hiking, meditation, musical theater, or more niche activities, you will find a group that suits you.

  • I chose university's owned student accommodation (which was on their website) so that I could make new friends asap and it's close to the uni as well. Yearly rent was around 7000 pounds/year but it depends on the city and university so make sure you do your research.
  • No challenges when finding accommodation in general because you're the one paying for services. You get wifi and all facilities like laundry and stuff.
  • I'd recommend getting student accommodation if possible so that you can party all weekend with friends or else you'll be surrounded by old people if you go off-campus non-student accommodation lol. Trust me, I know I've been there. They're cheapest and provide security as well and are honestly quite well maintained so you won't have to worry about your living and can focus entirely on studies.

  • All societies have their own events and festivals ranging from India community clubs to international society and also LGBT supportive groups and clubs.
  • Various student organizations and clubs kept us busy throughout the year, all festivals, seasons, sports, were celebrated throughout the year ranging from chinese new year to Indian festivals like Holi and Diwali.

  • You can get university accommodation through the university portal. Rent would be 187£ /week for 51 weeks for a silver ensuite bedroom. The room has 3/4 size bed, ensuite washroom, study desk, shared kitchen and communal area. There is 24/7 security and reception, secure entry and exit, recreational facilities.
  • I would recommend every student to check the BUS CONNECTIVITY from their accommodation to the university, before finalizing their accommodation in Manchester. Areas like george kenyon hall, fallowfield area, wilmslow road area and city center, are best for traveling and transport, throughout the city at all times of the day. Extremely good connectivity.
  • My accommodation was 25 mins walk from university.
  • Indian students are residing in all parts of the city.

  • I opted for a private accommodation as I wanted a spacious room, my rent was 750 pounds per month which is standard in Manchester, it is more expensive if you have to live in London, I booked the room through an app and didn't need any channels for it, there are a lot of challenges which you will face when you're moving to UK the first and obvious one is that the weather is too cold and you'll need time to get used to it.
  • My room was close to university it was a 15-20 minutes walk.

  • The University had students from almost 144 countries, due to which there were many cultural events organised throughout the year.
  • The library is huge, with study material available on almost any topic. Apart from this, there was a building dedicated towards self-study wherein students can go day or night.
  • Different clubs organized a variety of extracurricular activities related to sports, philosophy, philanthropy, marathons, environmental things etc.
  • There is so much you can do but the time you have is only one year so you have to carefully spend your time.

  • In the UK, the university does NOT guarantee a full-time job. However, the student centre in the university helps you to polish your CV or cover letter, recommend new skills, etc.
  • But if you are highly inclined towards getting a job, I would recommend a 2-year Industrial master’s degree in the UK wherein you are forced to work in a relevant industry for the second year of your master's degree, and the University helps you in it!
  • Moreover, now with 2 years post-work visa, there are significant chances that you will continue with your job in the 2 years Industrial master’s degree case after degree completion. However, if you are looking for a job with a year Master’s degree, it is possible but you have to keep applying for a longer period of time in the industry of your interest.

  • The university has 2 campuses which were not too far away from each other (max. 15 minute walk from each other)
  • All facilities were available on campus like an indoor swimming pool, gym, sport facilities, multiple libraries and reading rooms 
  • A 24 hour common area where you can study and prepare for assignments/ exams, cafes and pubs as well as grocery stores.
  • The university had multiple auditoriums which had many music concerts taking place so one could always book tickets for the bands performing there

  • I was living on campus which I found-out later is slightly more expensive than living off campus by renting a place.
  • The monthly rent was about 560 pounds while living on campus and the facilities includes, a pub and sports complex (gym, squash and table tennis area) as well as a laundromat.
  • Since this was on-campus, I didn't face any challenges in finding the accommodation.
  • Future students should check sites like sparerooms and similar such sites because living off-campus is way more economical and would also expose you to a regular life in the country rather than living on campus which in a way shields you from it.
  • Since I was living on campus the accommodation was right next to the university and was 3-4 minutes walking distance; most Indian students were living in the same campus accommodation.

Good, starting from freshers week, there is a lot of stuff happening around campus all the time. The library is a good place to study if you are more of a group study person. There are also lots of eateries nearby that are open till late for those extra long hours at the library.

I was in a private student accommodation, it was around 143 GBP/week. I had one of the three rooms in an apartment-style accommodation. Most student accommodations have a very standard layout with shared kitchen and bathroom unless you specifically apply for an ensuite room.
