I wish I had known...
Huh... If I knew that Salford was a very dangerous place to live...I woulnd´t have gone there I would either move to Manchester or...I would go to the south of England where the stand of living is much better and the sun comes up more often!.
In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Personal recommendation:
If you want to study in University of Salford it must be because of the course.The education in this University is great but...not the area I am afraid. If you go to University of Salford, do me a favor, move to Manchester for God Sake! It is too scary to live in Salford down to the famous "Seaford Road", believe me you don´t wanna know what happens in that road when is dark at night...



FINAL COMMENTS

In UK travelling is expensive like anything there! Trains are more expensive than buses, they are very old and crap... but what can we do? Buses are quite ok and quite on time, but you never know! taxis... forget it! they are too expensive. I did travel around Uk and..it was expensive but..there are so many places to see, like Scotland... My God! that was really nice or...Wales or south of Engalnd... Bournemouth, Dover and of course: London. Advice? University of Salford have professionals where they help you to chose your carreer if you are confuse.They are great and more over, they try to help you to guide you where you should look for a job.

FINAL COMMENTS

Salford is a bit of a rough neighbourhood, but if you're careful, you'll be allright. Manchester is within walking distance, and is bustling with life, though a bit depressive in the way it looks. Check for Ryanair specials, and you might be flying to Dublin and back for £25.
