Campus Life

- There are many campuses at the University of Manchester. Each campus teaches different fields. It is spread out throughout Manchester.
- There are two libraries, one near the main campus and one in the city center. Sports are a little further away and each campus has a medical service.
- As soon as we get there, we get a Fresher's party in Pangea, and then we have multiple clubs doing multiple parties and events and sports contests throughout the year.
- You have a club for every single sport that can be played in the university. You get to be on the team and play your favorite sport. Similarly in the other extracurriculars.

- I was in budget accommodation provided by the University. But the services were excellent, the rooms are great, and the space is great. It was a good experience.
- I don't remember the monthly rent but the final payment was GBP 7000 excluding food facilities.
- There is very less accommodation so you have to choose fast. Also i had to live in a different room for a few days, as the room allotted to me was under maintenance.
- Choose the University accommodation even if it's a bit expensive. It's safe, more student-like and helps you get to know more people.
- My accommodation was 5 km from my campus.

- Upto date academia
- Modern ambience
- Various talks by professionals both in industry and academia.
Dislikes
- No spoon feeding wrt to teaching
- Exams structure is very different
- Based on personal initiation meaning that here they don’t make you attend events or make anything compulsory. You are basically on your own when it comes to attending networking events and keep an eye out on your mails.

- My university has around 6-7 campuses but I’m not too sure. Unfortunately I don’t have the information with me right now.
- My accommodation has a tie-up with our university and it has a study space and a social space with arcades and pool.
- There are a lot that keep on happening and every campus has their own events on different occasions.
- Here you have to join societies to get a feel of sports and if you want to participate in cultural events, you get mail for the rest, and if you are interested you sign up and go. And there are a lot of events that happen, especially during the new session.

- I just put in for university accommodations and from there the university helps you get an accommodation. So I made a mistake wrt accommodation as when you apply for that, you have with your 5 preferences based on the university accommodation and accidentally my first preference was IQ accommodation in Salford. I didn’t read the distance, which showed 40 mins from bus so I ended up there but my accommodation is really big and better than other university accommodation but since it is off campus, I won’t recommend it.

- UOM has a large, well-equipped city campus with facilities including multiple libraries like the Alan Gilbert Learning Commons, sports centres like Armitage, and an on-campus health centre.
- There are over 400 clubs and societies covering academics, culture, and sports. I was based on the oxford road campus which is the heart of student life. Popular events and fests made campus life dynamic and engaging.

- I found my accommodation through unite student accommodation and stayed in piccadilly Manchester. The process was straightforward, but I'd highly recommend booking early because prices go up quickly as the intake approaches. Since I booked two months before the intake, and my rent was around £800 per month.

- My university has one campus only, which is on Oxford Road, Manchester. The facilities available are a library, study rooms, a dance studio, a wellness center, a student union with cafes, a bar, a salon, a food court, a gym and sports facilities, medical services, computer labs, and science and engineering labs. The student union hosts multiple events throughout the year. The most popular ones are Welcome week - dance classes, bingo lingo, Oktoberfest, art, wall hanging making, arcade night, etc.
- International society events: city day trips, Holi, Diwali, Eid, Chinese New Year celebrations, etc. The university has all the clubs and societies that you can think of. If you have a hobby/interest, you name it and there is a club! All the clubs organize events throughout the year pertaining to the nature of their club. For example, the sports club will host sporticipate sessions where you can participate in a sport for free.

- I opted for On-campus accommodation and I loved my flat. A form is sent out to students from the university itself where we have to give our top 5 preferences for accommodation and the university will allot one at random. I luckily got my first preference. It was just a 5-minute walk to the library and about a 7-10 minute walk to the main lecture buildings.
- The monthly rent was about 540 GBP which is the cheapest on campus. I have a separate bedroom to myself. The kitchen, toilet and shower rooms are shared common spaces and these spaces are cleaned by the cleaning staff twice a week. There are an iron box, kettle, fridge, oven, microwave and vacuum available in the flat. I personally did not encounter any challenges while finding or securing my accommodation because it is the one I wanted.
- I stay in Whitworth Park Leamington House and this house is the most newly furnished one in this accommodation community. it is the cheapest when compared to other one-campus accommodations, and it is very close to lecture halls. I have seen many Indians choose the accommodation I have chosen, purely because of the above-mentioned reasons. But a few students go for private accommodations or a little far off campus if they have more funds with them.
- If your budget is small and you want one close to campus and do not mind a shared toilet/bathroom, then I definitely recommend Whitworth Park, but only certain flats are good (a few very old flats are in bad condition), so please check pictures before giving this one as a preference.

- Inclusivity-- The environment is very inclusive and welcoming so one doesn't feel left out.
- Diversity-- People of all backgrounds and ethnicities come together to study and it helps create a wonderful experience.
- Support-- The professors, faculty and admin really go to great lengths to help and support you with whatever you may need.
Dislikes
- I haven't found the course to be as extensive as i had expected it to be.
- The careers' service is a bit partial towards business courses and doesn't represent arts courses much.
- The assessment and feedback is quite rushed into the semester, so it can feel very quick at times.

- 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.

- Two campuses: The Oxford Road area and Sackville Street area.
- There's a hugeeee library having its own colour coded spaces, i's so cool, purple zone, red zone, green zone.
- 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.

- Research based exams and students should read and understand varied research papers about their topics to excel in their course.
- Accessible software such as Bloomberg, STATA available for student use.
- Lecture podcasts and help is available for students
Dislikes
- Once you are finalized with the subjects/project topics, its nearly impossible to get it changed after the deadline.
- For international students, its harder to adjust to the study patern of the university, as it is more research based.
- Tuition fee is quite high as a student

- 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 were so many memorable and enjoyable events throughout my college life. Though covid really made it all to make it sufferable but I'm sure if that never happened then these years would've been even better infinitely which sucks honestly.
- I am an engineering student so idk about other majors like arts or business (Though they do seem to have no work at all) but the curriculum here is mostly hands on-experience, reports, experiments, labs, workshops, projects, and group/team work related events and stuff which is very exciting and make sure you never miss on those. It's something quite unique that I am very sure the Indian curriculum never taps our students' potential on. Though at the end there is always a theory exam which has 80% weightage but that's a given.
- Since it's a foreign university, you'll get to meet lots of people from all the countries over the world and you'll be able to learn a lot from them because it's basically a different perspective of how they grew up. Make sure you make lots of friends!!
Dislikes
- I'll say things I disliked in general because it's not really college alone but the situation as an International student altogether: It's expensive. As an Indian I know you guys understand me the most that living in the UK or anywhere in the world as an international student is quite expensive. Even if you think you can get a part-time job (hard to immediately get as an international) to offset some of your personal expenses. It's not always feasible because you gotta balance your studies and social life as well and to have it three ways with work when you'll be having constant deadlines it will be very tough. So when you choose a foreign university make sure you're ready to empty your pockets which honestly sucks but such is life.
- I'd say Indian food is best so you always miss home food. Whenever I come back home I just bulk up as much with no questions asked. Food is something which generally sucks in the UK so it might be a UK thing lol.
- Getting a job as an International student is a nightmare. This thing might come as a shock but this was something which shocked me as well. TBF i've seen dumb people get hired more often than smart ones so it might be the job market or companies fault but I'd say this yeah studying in foreign university increases your employability worth but its not certain and you will like me and many others will struggle whether to get part time or full time job. Though Ivy leagues are different but then again USA best country raaaahh so companies prefer them in general.

- 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.

- 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.
