The place and the student life
It's hood
Top school life balance and bottom is weather. The uni has great facilities and friendly students and staff
Lot of supports and things to do
All good
Love the accommodation it's so rat-free and hygienic. Could be better with more pathogens.
Essays ans exams take so long to be marked, lots of strikes, and too expensive for what you get.
Manchester is an incredible university, set in a top-tier location. I love the city and all it has to offer, and I think the student life here is incredible. I am super grateful to be living in Fallowfield, as I feel there is a true student community here. I do think there is a strong Manchester student spirit, and its nice to feel a part of it. I think an aspect of my university experience that could be better is that personally, my course doesn't have seminars in the first year, something I think is essential for university-level academic thinking. However, as a student rep, I have brought this up with my faculty and I do feel like my voice has been heard.
The support is amazing, I am never afraid to ask for guidance, the staff is always accommodating. The lecturers ensure that you understand the materials and they encourage questions - if you are feeling anxious, a lot of reassurance will be provided. There are a wide range of facilities, including many quiet spaces where you can relax and study.
The diversity and the space for student influence
Very nice area with a lot to do
Bad weather, but everything else is great.
I like being at the University of Manchester. There are a few hours of lectures a week and about the same in labs, so balanced. Campus is nice in the city with everything nearby. Student union is decent with some good societies. They check your housing contracts which is helpful. The uni makes sure you’re aware of the support available.
The University of Manchester is a good place to study. Lectures are mostly good, although some are boring, and there are decent lecture rooms. Some lecturers provide open office hours which are good to clarify course materials, which is helpful. New engineering building is poorly laid out and you can’t use the corridors on higher floors as a student which makes getting to lecture rooms harder. Sometimes there are issues running Linux on the computers provided. The city campus is nice and there are loads of shops and services around.
