There is so much diversity so it is easy to make friends. The university has many facilities to study quietly which is great

The main thing I love about Uni of Manchester is that there is the campus feel that really makes you feel like a university student but also you are really close to the rest of a big city! I also have to mention the main library - shout out to purple obviously... an exceptional place to study. I will miss it so much when I've gone! UoM could be improved by making sure that courses are made more social! Apart from medicine, I don't know of any other course that makes an effort to mix the student populations of the course. In my undergrad, I knew about 5 people and that's it! There weren't really other opportunities for us to mix and to meet new people.

It depends - my undergrad lectures were fantastic. My postgraduate degree, however, despite it being a 'taught' one has practically no lectures and the ones we do have are poorly done. As well, undergrad tutor time was fab, but much less in postgrad (probably a normal succession as you go further in academics?), although my interactions with my project supervisor is good.

I think I was really lucky with this as I can look on the bright side due to a fantastic flat. When I was first assigned Ashburne I was devastated, and all of the reviews online were horrific! However, I look back on this time with extremely fond memories. It was based in Fallowfield, which is the best area in terms of being around students, something very important for first years! My room was very spacious, I loved it. At the time I was living there, the price of it was much lower than it is now, and it was catered so I hardly had to spend any money on food during the week. Despite it being in Fallowfield, which can be a bit sketchy, Ashburne was tucked away in a lovely area that had a little field area, so it felt very safe. The only problems were the kitchens really that didn't give us much opportunity to make our own food! Also the fridges didn't work very well, nor did the oven/hob thing that was on the counter.
