Final comments
Manchester is the best university-city in the whole UK! That's for sure! D'ya need 2 go back home at 3am in the morning? No problem, there are always buses running! If u come 2 MCR, u can't imagine how much alcohol u'll drink!! Friendly people, cheap nightlife, nice girls..what would u ask more from an erasmus program???
