Likes:
- I liked the teaching faculty as well as the library services a lot, and the student union is very helpful as well. null
Dislikes:
- However, there is no scope provided for finding jobs as there is no campus placement, which is disappointing. null
Campus Life
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.
Hostel
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.
Likes:
- Excellent Academic Rigour, Brilliant Research and Faculty, Excellent Infrastructure .
Dislikes:
- Minimal Job Support, Expensive .
Campus Life
The campus life at UoM is excellent and highly dependent on what you make of it. The Fallowfield Campus is a great place to stay and make friends. There are numerous clubs and societies that one can join and there is also the provision for sports centers and gyms. There is literally nothing that is missing in terms of provisions.
Hostel
Accommodation rooms are not shared, however, there is a choice on whether you would like to share a washroom. For shared washrooms, the rent is around £130 per week. For ensuite, it goes up to £200 per week.
Likes:
- Fantastic professors and infrastructure. null
Dislikes:
- I don't have anything negative but unlike Indian Universities there are no placements offered anywhere here. null
Campus Life
If you want to be active, there are plenty of opportunities but I was not interested. Exceptional sports facilities and libraries are there.
Hostel
Very expensive. I got a small ensuite room for 160 pounds per week. It's very hard to find houses outside and landlords are reluctant to give it to students especially Indian students.
Likes:
- The thing I like the most is the infrastructure of my university. null
Dislikes:
- The thing I dislike is that there are regular protests going on around the uni campus. null
Campus Life
I love the campus , you can get anything you want in the campus area . The campus building is historic and 200 years old. We regularly have different events in the campus in which you can easily network with others .
Hostel
I live in a university accommodation which is present on the university campus itself. I have an ensuite room with a shared kitchen for which I am paying around 183 GBP per week. One can get private accommodation as well near the university building for a much cheaper price.
Likes:
- Liked the infrastructure and support for understanding the courses better. null
Dislikes:
- Dislike accommodation options offered by the university. null
Campus Life
The campus has different buildings for different activities or classes. The WiFi on campus works at a good enough speed. There are lots of clubs and activities to participate in. They set up events to give more information about these every few months and pass freebies to market these activities.
Hostel
I live in a private 4 bed 2 bath house about 20 mins away from the university. The rent is 500£/month excluding utilities. I have a private room and there's ample space. In my opinion, university accommodation is not good if you compare the prices between that and private accommodation like mine.
Likes:
- Except for the academic standard that sometimes becomes a challenging aspect of the academic journey for international students like me, I like everything else about my university. null
Campus Life
The university has 600+ clubs and societies (including Tamil and International societies), vibrant campus life and well-advanced infrastructure facilities.
Hostel
All university accommodations are of good quality but I would always recommend my accommodation as the best among the rest as it's just 10 mins (by walk) away from the university, affordable, hygienic and friendly.
Likes:
- Diverse, always something happening, very politically aware students, strong adherence to timelines. Very helpful lecturers. Challenging academics but not too tough and well managed courses .
Dislikes:
- Classmates aren't super sociable and mostly keep to themselves. Profs, while approachable, can sometimes not reply to emails for weeks/months. Strong emphasis on self-study and not as much guided study. null
Campus Life
Very vibrant campus life. There's always something happening. Lots of extracurricular activities, with a Learning Commons and the Main Library right at the heart of the University. Lots of societies as well, from sports societies to quiz societies to dance societies.
Hostel
Student Accommodation, En suite room, sharing the kitchen and the dining hall with 3 other students, paying 182 GBP per week. It's about average for this place. There are some cheaper ones, priced around 130-140GBP per week in which you have to share bathrooms with others.
Likes:
- The university is very inclusive and accommodating. There is no extra pressure to do everything, everyone can learn at their own pace and get the support they need to complete each module. null
- The infrastructure and campus vibe is really good if you stay on campus—lots of activities to participate in without any commitment. null
Dislikes:
- My curriculum in particular could have been better. null
- Less networking events and placement talks. null
Campus Life
10/10: Its amazing , lots of things to enjoy and indulge in throughout the year.
Hostel
The university has lots of options to choose from according to the budget and honestly, the rooms are amazing. Depending on your choice you can fill out the form stating your preferences and you will be allocated an accommodation 100%. Average rentals - 7000 - 10000 GBP / year
Likes:
- The university is very, very welcoming to international students. They have all the relevant facilities available to make an international student feel at home. null
- Manchester as a city is very friendly to Indians (or people of South Asian origin), so you don't feel out of place there. null
- There are several extracurricular activities and groups you can join - some even get you college credits. null
- The university gives the option to audit courses from different streams and fields - no judgments or prior requirements there. null
Dislikes:
- For courses in social sciences in particular, there is low placement opportunity. Students must find career opportunities themselves, although many companies keep coming in general to the university on open days. null
Campus Life
10/10. All possible facilities available - student unions, country-specific society, amazing extracurriculars, good accommodation.
Hostel
I lived in a university accommodation - UoM has many options. But private student accommodations are equally good. Very comfortable facilities, have various events/evening-time get-togethers. Average rent per month is 500 GBP.
Likes:
- Beautiful Infrastructure .
- Highly specialized staff and industry-class equipments .
- Bloomberg Terminals and extensive library dating back to the 1800s .
- Great nightlife and incredible support for international students .
Dislikes:
- Can be expensive to live (depending on location) .
- Can be daunting for those who have never lived alone .
- More focused on self-study as compared to the Indian schooling system; great lecturers nevertheless. null
- No companies come to campus so if you need hand-holding to find a job, going abroad might not be for you if your sole reason for going is finding a job .
Campus Life
Great, in every sense. I had a lot of friends from the university housing and everyone's been pleased with their stay to the tee. The friendships, night outs, and other stuff you can imagine that could go down in such situations went down. If you are looking to make friends and have some fun, absolutely join university housing.
Hostel
You have the freedom to live however you please. If you prefer sharing a room with someone, you can do that. If you want the privacy of a studio, that's an option too. Admittedly, accommodation here isn't cheap, but working part-time (as most people do) can help you make ends meet. While grocery costs can be high depending on your choices, these challenges shouldn't deter you if your goal is to attain a high-quality education. Rents range from GBP 400 - 700 per month. Of course you can get even higher living costs but this is usually the majority range. I stayed at private accommodations which came out to be relatively cheaper than university housing but only because I had to do a year online, due to COVID.
