I've really enjoyed living here. The city life is fantastic, there's always something to do around here and the people have been really accepting and nice. If I could though, I'd change the weather!

Well. The careers service is very complete and has a large amount of industry contacts, and fliers advertising job fairs are visible all over campus. My supervisors have also been very insistent upon networking.

The lecturers are always available to chat if I'm having difficulties, which is extremely helpful.

I have not been involved in the student union, I prefer to just go for jogs and do my own thing after work

A typical student place, with the exception that we're all postgraduates so a bit tidier than we used to be!

Great. The library is fantastically complete, with access to all of the journals I could ever need. The sporting facilities are good too.

Lively. So many students are here that if you enjoy the city life it's almost impossible to not find something worth doing.

Incredibly active. There are loads of clubs available and they suit all people. The few I've joined have been incredibly sociable and provided a good framework for life outside of work.

Great academic support. I've always been able to find help when I was struggling, even though it was not always through the official means.

Pretty excellent so far, it's a 5 year course so things are beginning to drag a little, but overall it has lived up to my expectations. There is plenty to do in Manchester and while I plan to move away after I graduate I have absolutely no regrets about choosing to do my undergraduate degree here at Manchester.

Very well, but that doesn't come until next year.

Feels like we're doing something important and not wasting time with things that aren't essential

i don't really get involved, but do go to a fair few of the events that are arranged throughout the year. There's a wide variety of things on during the year. I don't really get involved with much else that goes on, I don't feel I really have time to commit week to week.

Very nice, only we have slugs and mice. Neighbours seem a bit rough too

Excellent, there are loads of things to do in Manchester. Late night bowling is particularly fun

I don't really get involved, because I don't feel I can commit that much time week to week

Very very good. One on one meetings are offered for both academic and personal support if needed and regular check ups with supervisors to see that everything is going well.
