I’m an exchange student for the semester and this has been a great place to study so far!
The weather is horrible, but the people are amazing
Can’t get in a bus most morning.
I'm a fresher so I don't know many about my uni yet, but I love the campus and facilities here. I'm also enjoying my courses as well.
Too busy to commute for morning lectures
Too much travelling
IT experience was awful
I like the bar and events Bad: needs better study places
The library spaces could be better
I think it's a really interesting place, but I do feel like there can be a lot of improvements towards the SU and how it functions.
I love the friends I’ve made
Best: friends and the social aspects worst: doing some work
It’s fab
Best - The people (all students and staff) are incredibly helpful and sweet Worst - Since the uni is a city campus in terms of location it can be quite annoying to have to walk 40 mins to get to ur lecture
Nice atmosphere and supportive staff
It’s always bustling - great location to study always lots of things to do!
Student support can be lacking specifically with timetabling issues and slow response times.
Experience is really nice


Great places to relax and eat, always clean and presentable.
Course all taught well, good content and easy to follow. Great facilities but lab time is nowhere near enough
A bit expensive but the best halls in Manchester so definitely worth it
