I’ve had a wonderful living experience at Bridgewater Heights. The community is clean, quiet, and well-maintained, with beautiful landscaping that creates a relaxing atmosphere. The apartments have great natural light, a practical layout, and modern, well-kept facilities, which makes daily living very comfortable. The management team is friendly, professional, and responsive—any issues I’ve reported were handled quickly and efficiently, which really gives me peace of mind. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, and public transportation. Overall, Bridgewater Heights is an excellent place to live, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a long-term home. Here, I would like to give special praise to Cecilia and Carol, whose work is particular outstanding. read more

Courses are actually structured well, but the teaching staffs some are not good. They are not understandable and don't give clear explanations of the processes of questions. Expecially about the reports, cannot imagine I studied and followed the instructions, still get a 50% hhhh. The tuition is also very expensive for international, just undergraduate charges £35,000. And for the postgraduate is £40,000??? read more

The University of Manchester campus is large and vibrant, with notable things like the Ali G building and Christie’s cafe. Most facilities are modern and useful providing impeccable places to study independently and learn in classes, however some places are more outdated than others, and at times closed. There are a large and diverse amount of societies to join, each put on social events and encourage people to join. However it is very intimidating to join and often times it feels like the only things they put on are in pubs in the evening, not a lot tailored to people who don’t enjoy that kind of stuff. The student union is a fun place that offers many events, food options and places to study. The committee do a lot but it’s also often a very busy space, not helped by the fact it’s also open to the public for events. I haven’t had alot of experience with the career service but from what I’ve heard they are very helpful, they are definitely make their services known to people. read more

expected to be really independent and do most things on your own with little guidance. Lecturers are there to help though. Seminars are great if people talk. However, some professors lack passion for teaching or require more training read more

Good, but the only problem is that due to it being a very large university, socialising and making closer friends is arguably harder. read more
