Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Home university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why? It was all right and very close to the university and the city center.

Personal comments:
In the campus you feel protected and you don't have to think about "home" matters. It's easy to meet people, many international students as well, but it's not very clean (if your flatmates aren't, of course)

Why? More independence

Personal comments:
The location was good, the accomodation was so close to University. It was in a green park and this was what I liked more. It was an extremely simple accomodation, rooms were really small, but, at the same time, there were all the facilities.

Why? Because it was convenient and I had to share the flat with other student: I like to live with others

Why? It is cheaper and nearer to school. Besides, it helps to make friends in the school.

Personal comments:
The building I stayed was not really beautiful, actually. There would be more beautiful accommodations in Manchester. But the people living there were so cool, furthermore, the location was perfect. It was really near from both the uni and the city center. I took all the profit of the accommodation. I made lots of friends there, and I stayed at school, then went to the city center to have a drink with flatmates... I had a wonderful time. I could improve my English a lot since we cooked together, ate together, then talked a lot till late at night. I think that it is a very good idea to stay in a school accommodation rather than a flat if you want to improve your language and to make lots of friends.

Type of housing: hall of residence

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: hall of residence

Why? The atmosphere was excellent. There were a lot of English students. Moreover the typical hierarchy of the place (warden, president of the junior common room) is something which is typically English and was was worth it.

Personal comments:
The accomodation office within the University was really helpful. It took them two days to find me a hall of residence that fulfilled my requirements. I didn't want to live amongst other international students because I was eager to improve my English so the Hall of residence was great. I met great people and the food and the activities provided were fantastic. Unforgettable !

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? While on-campus accommodation helps to develop friendships with other students, having already established a strong base of colleagues in Manchester,I would prefer the flexibility of apartment living

Personal comments:
The Fallowfield campus at the University of Manchester was very centrally located, and I had no problems getting to/from class and the city centre. Additionally, the accommodation halls always provided many interesting social events and engaging activities.

Why? Private is the way to go, its cheaper and University housing limits what u can get: cable tv, furnishing. That only works if you know the area to a certain minimum, if its your first time, stick with university housing

Personal comments:
Amazing experience, met an amazing diversity of people and the sense of communty is unique. Rooms were a bit small but then so is everything in the UK (and most of Europe) when you've lived in the US.

Type of housing: Student's flat

If returning, I would choose: Student's flat

Why? Because you meet other students and learn to live together

Personal comments:
My accomodation was great because I was living with very nice people (all english)and so, I learned a lot about english culture. It also allowed me to improved my english. The flat was 20 min away from the university, but there were buses passing nearby very often. On the other hand,the flat was expensive and the rooms were really tiny!

Why? Meeting people is much easier and there is always someone you can depend on there or someone to go home with at night, having a great time all along. Affordable, favorable location and very social

Personal comments:
University of Manchester has various campus locations and as diverse as your wishes may be, there will be something that will suit you. You probably won't spend much time at home anyway ;)

Pretty good. I did not pay too much and I had a good service. I shared the flat with pretty people. My room was well furnished and the campus was just five-minute-walking from the University.
