Personal comments:
There were some jazz clubs like the Band on the Wall that were OTT. The Infinity was THE nightclub. The Trafford Centre for shopping. If you are a football fan (as I am) you have to pay a visit to Old Trafford and go to Moss Side to watch City (tickets are cheaper). Also Rusholme and its famous Curry Mile where I had the hottest curry I've ever had !!!

Cinemas(plenty of them and special price for students) ScuBar (you can have a good bear in a relaxing atmospehre), Tropicana (where you can find most of the student drinking and dancing cheesy music at a good price), Crobar( just to have a brake), Opera House (pretty small but you can see ballets, operas, and the best musical in tournée all around U.K.)

Personal comments:
Manchester has the largest student population in Europe, so naturally there are many places that cater to the university crowd. While I cannot choose a single spot, Manchester is a city filled with numerous gems of bars, restaurants, and night clubs. I particularly enjoyed going to Matt and Phred's, a jazz club in the Northern Quarter.

The Footage in Oxford Road is both a modern and typical young pub where you can have a good time with your new friends. I'll miss Market Street with all its shops :) and the Frapuccino from Starbucks, as well as St Ann square with its library...
