Vert useful. Very nice. Good university.
Overall nice experience, the people are greate and the units are well structured
Good experience in here, love to stay here for next year
There are some services provided across campus, eg career advice, but you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get to it as drop-ins are highly limited.
Quite fulfilling experience overall
The university of Manchester is one of a kind! As a sociology student, I feel at home and that there is so much to learn here. Learning here at Manchester doesn’t end in the lecture halls, it extends into the social world as well and I love it!
You will always find people that you connect with! The study spaces are great, especially Ali g considering its open 24/7.
It could be better in terms of social well-being. Which is missing between international and domestic students.
Information on certain aspects like careers is more complicated then it needs to be.
Good university, can feel a bit lonely at times
Uni is amazing! Good union prices and reliable wifi
Study spaces have to be renovated
The WiFi is probably the worst part about UoM.
Best uni for societies and for studying
great uni, the societies are great and the location is great
Great university but I didn't enjoy my course because it was so hard (Maths and Physics)
Great place great WiFi great facilities
From the comfortable environment to the friendly teachers and staff, it all made my study life easy and comfortable.
Really great staff and facilities compared to rest of the accommodations
Corrupt and doesn’t listen to its students. Staff on strike most of the time. Unhelpful support services. Generally incompetent IT team with **** wifi and data breaches as all their servers are on ancient tech. But those weren’t asked about in the star ratings lmfao
Overall the uni experience is fine
University of Manchester offers a great academic experience, and the faculty staff are exceptional.
That is excellent but is a little far from universally. Route to accommodation is scary at night
My course has treated me terribly but facilities is good
It has been an effective and enriching experience
Great university - would recommend
Nice campus environment and kind peers.
Some tutors are supportive, some lecturers are great.
It’s a good uni innit like I’m just there to chill
Great university. Good facilities for students.
nice campus and faculties, I can always get helps as an international student.
The SU is very politically biased, unfriendly atmosphere for students outside the groupthink. Wifi is often intermittent
Beautiful campus, great tutors, and helpful staff.
It’s a good experience to study at the UOM
I love the campus, always busy and a really nice atmosphere. Plenty of good study spaces but everywhere can get very busy

The food options on and around Campus are quite limited. The wifi is generally.good but occasionally is noticably worse or just doesn't work.

It’s a great place to be with great facilities
Reception Ruby is very enthusiastic and friendly! She is patient to help me solve my problems and get my parcel, It's nice to see her every day!
Daisy bank hall is quite a nice and quiet place to live in. Every single one in daisy bank is so nice and they are always willing to help you if you are in need of it. Claudia is a considerate manager here. Tesco, Lidl, Poundland and Morrison's are just 10-minute-walk away from here. People live here can hardly get overwhelmed because we can get warmth here. For example, you will receive christmas gift during holidays, drinking a cup of free tea in the tea month and get free hotdogs and pizza at the very beginning of one semester and so on. I am about to go back to China the day after tomorrow. I really spent a great time here, in Daisy Bank Hall, in Manchester, in the UK. A lovely place!
Top notch university. Highly recommend it for STEM degrees.
Careers service has been really helpful, I’ve had multiple appointments and they are simple to book, however can be booked out for weeeks during busy periods. In that case there tend arrange random drop in sessions where you can receive the same help without having to wait for a booking.
You feel the repute of the university when you walk down Oxford Road. It is huge and spread out with world class infrastructure and facilities. Student life is active here and there is always some or the other thing going on. Classes are challenging, as they should be. Helps grow personally and professionally.
Excellent experience, the campus is great and the people, both staff and colleagues are really nice.
good experience so far. very enjoyable campus.
Any faulty facilities or internet connection issues are quickly fixed. There are still some concerns over security following the previous cyber attack though.
It's alright but trying to get offices within the university to respond to issues usually takes forever, expect to be responded to in the next working week...
So far i had a good experience with the university i'm happy.
People here are humble and accept different nationalities. Overall, I have had a good experience so far.
Nice campus. Lots of activities going on.
The cleaning of toilets is terrible, and the login of eduroam is troublesome for the first-time users.
All facilities are beyond my expectation.
The city is amazing and the vibes are wonderful
We have probabaly the largest and the most beautiful campus in all of UK. It is so huge that sometimes it gets a little tough to navigate through building.
The University of Manchester stands as a beacon of exceptional learning opportunities, providing an environment where education, facilities, and international societies converge to create an unparalleled student experience.
Perfect. There is almost nothing to complain about. What I can say is that sometimes, the university's internet is not working so I cannot check-in, but I think it is alright
I love the university of Manchester because of the state of art facilities
Good and excellent facilities.
Great uni, just if you study medicine, you may be put onto the preston campus, which is very far out, and none of the central campus societies really apply unless you want to commute 45 mins by train to go to a society event...
My University of Manchester Experience: Thriving in the Third Year My journey at the University of Manchester has been an incredible adventure, especially now that I've reached my third year. Over this time, I've experienced tremendous personal and academic growth. The academic rigors of this prestigious institution have challenged and expanded my knowledge and critical thinking. My courses have become more specialized, allowing me to delve deeper into my chosen field of study. The guidance from my professors and the resources available on campus have been invaluable in supporting my academic journey. Outside the classroom, Manchester has provided a vibrant and diverse cultural experience. The city's rich history, thriving arts scene, and lively student community have offered me numerous opportunities to explore and expand my horizons. Through my involvement in clubs, societies, and volunteering, I've built lasting friendships and developed leadership skills that will serve me
Great experience throughout. No complaints whatsoever.
campus and facilities are excellent
Very nice campus and a lot of cafes and study areas nearby
Many helpful lecturers, and has plenty of diversity
Pleasant stay. Good location, closer from university and shops.
