Manchester Student Life

Cost of Living
Very affordable…
Very affordable and there is lots to do.
Imagine London but cheaper…
Its Manchester..... Imagine London but cheaper... Pints are £1.50 and there's a club for everyone. You can get an all you can eat Chinese for £4. You just have to know where to look
It’s quite expensive to live here…
It’s quite expensive to live here but you just have to budget for example; shop at Lidl / Aldi as opposed to Asda and go out on student nights and not on a Saturday where clubs are charging extortionate prices.
Public transport is so cheap here…
Public transport is so cheap here, and getting a student bus pass saves you hundreds.
Nights Out

The Warehouse Project took the Manchester music scene by storm when it started in 2006. They bring in some of the biggest name DJ’s from around the globe hosting a series of club nights from September to NYE. Tickets sell out fast so make sure you have your finger on the pulse when they release the line-up!
Image Credit
The Printworks is a popular venue among students and locals, home to bars such as Eden, Hard Rock Cafe, Bierkeller, Walkabout and more. It’s a guaranteed fun night out with friends!
Image Credit
Manchester boasts a thriving live music scene, you’ll be spoilt for choice with venues to choose from. The city attracts both internationally and nationally recognised artists as well as supporting local up and coming acts. Here are a few popular spots to get you started Gorilla, Soup Kitchen, Deaf Institute and Band On The Wall.

Public Transport
Manchester has excellent local, national and international transport links. Getting around the city itself is easy by foot and bike as well as having a comprehensive bus, tram and rail network. To get further afield there are great connections by road and rail to the rest of the UK; you can be in London within 2 hours by train. There is also Manchester Airport, that flies to over 200 destinations: perfect if you fancy a European mini-break!
Eating Out

Rudy’s has two relaxed neighbourhood pizzeria’s in the city, where they serve proper Neapolitan pizza. It will soon become your new favourite pizza spot!

Northern Quarter is Manchester’s creative hub which has unique character and charm. There’s an array of quirky eatery’s to try such as Home Sweet Home for extravagant milkshakes and Nibble Cafe for delicious seasonal dishes.
Image Credit
If you like street food then Manchester is the perfect place for you! There’s Mackie Mayor, a Grade II listed building with independent food vendors, Grub which is street-food heaven in the railway arches of Piccadilly and Bundobust an Indian street-food and craft beer hall.
Shopping
Northern quarter is my favorite area…
Northern quarter is my favorite area with all the vintage shops and hipster food places. Arndales is nice for general shopping, but quite busy in the weekends.
Wide range of stores…
Shopping their is a wide range of stores all of which are situated in close proximity of each other and their Christmas markets are lush!
Shopping is great…
Shopping is great with places such as Trafford centre, arndale and market street.
The shopping facilities in Manchester are amazing…
The shopping facilities in Manchester are amazing, thr Arndale and market street are fantastic for high street shopping and then there is spinning fields, king street etc for more high end shopping. You also have easy access to the Trafford centre and the buses run really regularly to and from there so there is so many opportunities to shop

Top 10 Tips
Manchester has loads of sports grounds all within close proximity of one another. You can watch a variety of sporting events including football, cricket and track and motocross cycling. If you’re more of a participant than a spectator, get involved in the Great Manchester Run.
From Manchester, you have easy access. Perfect if you’re the outdoors type, or if you need to entertain the parents when they come to visit.
An area for the LGBT scene, and stick around in the summer for Manchester Pride. Manchester is home to one of the UK’s largest LGBT communities so there will be plenty of ways to get involved.
A good first port of call for entertainment. Boasting food, drink, films, gigs, clubs and bars and even a gym – it has pretty much everything you’ll need.
Manchester has an impressive amount of festivals thanks to its cosmopolitan and creative energy. Whether you are in to dance music, literature, food and drink or films you’ll find a festival that’s right up your street.
One Manchester experience you are certainly not to miss is a visit (or several) to the Curry Mile on Wilmslow Road. Round up your mates and see who can stomach the hottest dish.
The Oxford Road Link bus connects the University of Manchester campuses with the city centre, and it’s free if you live on certain campuses.
Manchester’s Chinatown is one of the biggest outside of China itself. It’s a must for a meal out or just some more interesting shopping. Head to International Buffet & Restaurant on Nicholas Street for an all-you-can-eat buffet and Buy One Get One Free on drinks.
The Royal Exchange Theatre is well worth a visit at some point, and if you think you can’t afford tickets, think again – as a student, if you book on the day of a performance you can get tickets for just £10. Even better, you can nab one for a fiver on Mondays and possibly even free on a Friday if you call up at 12 pm!
Head down to the awesome Piccadilly Gardens on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. You can visit the street food stalls for a quality lunch and then stock up on fruit and veg for the week.

Good transport links...
Good transport links to the rest of the country. I find the food options not as diverse as London, and there are far too few genuine restaurants. Most of the popular Northern Quarter restaurants are just glorified bars that serve burgers, chicken and chips, not exactly ground breaking. There are a few gems, like Northern Soul Grilled Cheese, Pasta Factory, Noi Quattro, and The Hip Hop Chip Shop. The nights out are good, with the bars of NQ, Warehouse Project and the GAY village open till 6am, there's something for everyone. read more

You get what you pay...
You get what you pay for in terms of housing, we pay around £850 a month(not including bills) for a nice 2 bed apartment fairly far from the uni. Fallowfield is the cheapest place to live but people get broken into(at least 2 or 3 a day that I see on facebook). Landlords here definitely take advantage of naive students, know your rights! Shops range from Aldi/Lidl to Sainsburies in the student areas, suiting every budget. Eating out is amazing in Manchester. From meaty places to eco veggie vegan eateries, you really can find it all. Nights out are okay, but expensive from what I hear. Surprisingly few shops for such a large town but the northern quarter has some nice little indie places. Public transport is amazing, the "magic bus" service runs constantly and I've never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus from the uni campus! read more

Great city for studends since you have a nice social scheme. The city center could be bigger but it has a really active night life. It gives you the impression that is basically a student city. The transport is great both to go to fallowfield as to go to the city center (although sometimes depending on the traffic it can take up a lot of time). There are buses all night long so there is no problem when coming back from a night out. read more

Manchester isn’t what it used to be I feel. The particular night life I enjoy is lost to the commercialised and artificial feel of the city. However there are some absolute gems keeping the DIY aspect of Manchester alive such as Yes, Gorilla, The Castle Hotel, Rose and Monkey, HOME Cinema, Gullivers and The Lass O’ Gowrie. read more

It’s more expensive here...
It’s more expensive here than my home city of Liverpool despite it being close by and not being that much bigger but it’s at least cheaper than places like London. Nights out can be really good if you find the right places but some places aren’t great and I think there needs to be even more available to the alternative community since Satan’s is not open every night and as much as I love it, the same place gets a bit repetitive. Tried the indie clubs, not a fan. Public transport is a lot better than we have it in Liverpool but buses can still be late and inconvenience you. Trains are often late or cancelled too but I guess I’m giving this a good rating as it’s much worse where I’m from so to me, this is actually an improvement. Also the fact that the bus I take to uni comes like every 2 mins so that one is convenient. read more

Cannot fault Manchester....
Cannot fault Manchester. Firstly, it's not expensive to live here at all, especially in fallowfield. Secondly, any music taste is catered to on nights out and you literally have a different night to suit everyone, which is so good in a student city. There are plenty of places to go out for food and drink and depending on your mood and budget you have so many options and they are all easily accessible through the amazing public transport links in Manchester.

Cons?

Best nights out!
