Guys i've been a resident of Mill point in Manchester for 3 years now, i'm about to have my fourth year here!

I was speaking to the manager of mill point and he told me there's a few more places to fill up Mill point to the brim! If your needing student accommodation, want fun and want a great year at university halls.. Mill point is definitely the place to be!

The place in my opinion is superior to all other halls i've seen for such and for such a good price, the staff are great - they get things done for you like straight away, unlike some of these other halls like what my girlfriend lived at which took over 3 days to change a frigging light bulb!!!!!

If you guys wanna ask me anything about Millpoint feel free - i'm hopefully going to be helping Millpoint with you guys to help you move in, sort nights etc etc.. So fire away?!

We always have a massive courtyard party when people move in so everyone gets to meet each-other! Its stupidly clean, safe and awesomely social! Come on guys, i want another fantastic year like the others soooo come to Millpointtt! :D

I wouldn't say the surrounding area is anything to worry about. I've lived in Mill Point this year and haven't experienced or heard of anybody being the victim of attacks. The location is really good, about 2-3 minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly train station. All Saints Campus is about 10/15 minute walks. Although I haven't experienced any attacks around the All Saints campus, exercise caution as I've heard about people being mugged by chavs on bikes who then peddle away. However, this is rare I've only heard of it happening a couple of times.

Mill Point as a place though, I found this year is not what I expected it to be. The rooms are quite spacious and smart, and it's a luxury to have an en-suite. However, I've found that the place seems to lack an atmosphere. The majority of students who seem to live here are international students, many of them who do not speak English. This is reflected in the fact whenever Mill Point put up a notice for students, it is first written in Chinese and then translated to English. It seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Also, I have found at times the onsite security can be very patronising. To enter Mill Point you must scan your self into the building with an electronic fob, through a rotating gate. However, you are only allowed two friends in with you and you must sign them in a book. If you have more than two friends it can be awkward as the security reserve the right to knock them back, which i've witnessed happen on more than one occasion. This can be annoying because when you're paying over 5,000 a year, I think you should have the right to have who ever you want over! It's extremely difficult trying to organise parties including people off your course who don't live here. I've had the security say things like "We'll be checking up on you and if you're making noise I'll kick everyone out". This obviously isn't something you want to hear on your birthday..

However saying this, some of the security are quite pleasant and easy to get on with. It's quite easy getting things delivered to Mill Point because there is 24 hour staff who will sign for parcels on your behalf. I have to say Mill Point isn't the most social place in the world, so if that is what you're looking for I think you should reconsider. I know for a fact that Mill Point did not allocate all of their rooms out this year, and it does feel that way. You could go round to a persons flat, where out of 6 rooms only three of them were sold. On my first day at Mill Point, I was put in a room with only Chinese students who didn't speak a word of English. It was near impossible to communicate with them and it wasn't what I wanted on my first day. I spoken to MP the next morning and they agreed to move me in the end.


If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer.
