Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU)

Housing issues - location could be better

Really good institution with unique almost family atmosphere!

Not really. I guess I knew everything I needed to know beforehand. You never know everything. But if you want to get infos on Manchester, there are lots of webpages to check out, and your university coordinator will be able to help you, too.

It's not the best university you could choose for academic reasons. But generally, I liked the university, and it was great to have my Erasmus experience there.

That people here are really rude, have never met so many rude people in so little time before. And that my course is feels so much like high-school.

Most of the brits in my course doesn't seem to have much problem with the school, but they it's their first year so they don't have nothing else to compare with. Most of the international students that are taking a master degree here share the same view as me. But the price for a master here is quite cheap compare to other big cities. I wouldn't recommend to take a master here for international students unless it's important for you to keep the price low. And it's also not that easy for to get to know the brits, specially the local one. Don't recommend it for postgraduates, but maybe for undergraduates. In short, there are better universities.

Well, it's very windy and the rain is not like in Continental Europe, it's more like drizzle and you need a jacket with a hood and very good waterproof shoes. And the introduction week is especially for Asian students...

Choose your courses very carefully, make use of the career service and become a member of the sport clubs (I was a member of the hiking club and we went for beautiful walks in Wales, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. It was really amazing!!).

No, it was very good to experience everything I did experience right here.

None.

That it was going to end so soon...

Take care with the accommodation, it could be the most expensive.
