What you wish you were told about the uni of manchester before coming

There are students like that everywhere I would imagine. We get quite competitive but all in good sport and as far as I know.... Lots of boys, not many girls.

Hi there! Just wondering... What are the most fun halls outside of Fallowfield? I've been doing some research and I think that Fallowfield is just a little too far for me, and among other reasons, just isn't what I'm looking for. Any advice?

What are the most lively self-catered halls in the Victoria and city campuses?

So what is the employment rate for the graduates? Specially the mechanical graduates?

Do they plan to go overseas e.g countries like Germany, USA, China for jobs.

What is your call the professors?

Here's my take on the Victoria Park campus area:

- St Anselm's hall is quite lively, but it all male.
- Don't really hear much from Dalton-Ellis.
- St Gabriel's Hall is alright, but their socials are awful.
- Hulme is okay, but very much keep to themselves.
- Canterbury Court is pretty good.
- Pankhurst Court seems alright, never really been in there though.



Don't know about city, but St Anselm's Hall is certainly the liveliest in the Victoria Park area - if you get over the fact it's all male.



There is research out there dedicated to this (i.e. UNISTATS).



It is generally unwise to do that. Better to work in your native country or the UK for a couple of years and then think about international travel/assignment/reallocation once you've established yourself.



Depends on my relationship with them. I call my PDEs lecturer Tony, whereas I call my real analysis lecturer Dr. Coleman.

I hope that helps.

ahan.so what is the employment rate for the graduates?specially the mechanical graduates? do they plan to go overseas e.g countries like Germany,USA,China for jobs.

what is your call on the professors.

ah right did you mind that it was so close to home ?

because until i got my offer I was dead set against going to manchester but I'm kind of reconsidering because it is a really good university. and yeah I'm definitely going to pick to be in halls don't fancy being the fresher loner hahaa ! did you like it there ? and was it easy to make friends ? also was it catered or self catered ? sorry for all the questions :P

do you prefer it to richmond ?

well thank you for telling me a bit about richmond and victoria it all helps hahaa true what course are you studying ?

I know the feeling ! and hahaa okay well thanks for all your help. And I like the sound of a 24 hour library as nerdy as it may sound is that far from a lot of the accomodation ?

Oh no. That means most of the good ones will be taken up already by then right? Which is a better one, a catered or a non-catered hall?

aimed at anyone, is it worth it to pay more for a washbasin in your room?

No no no no no no. That extra £10 a week you'll have from not having one will be worth it.

thank you! in that case, roughly how many people are there sharing one washbasin?

No they don't you can't just come out with facts like that. I knew about 30-40 people in Oak House, Fallowfield. Not one of the was kicked out after first year, some may have had to do a re-take in the summer but they all came through fine.

Fallowfield is definitely the place to be, well it was at least when I was there 4 years ago.

Beware lots of people on this forum try to justify their inadequate social skills by suggesting things like this.

But what I say is what I hear from people

Ah, thank you so much!

aimed at anyone, is it worth it to pay more for a washbasin in your room?

Late reply to it now so the issue might already be cleared but I went to Manchester a couple of weeks back but the girl showing us the accommodation didn't know about the firm or insurance thing so I phoned up instead. Good news, accommodation is guaranteed for both so I applied last week even though I haven't sorted out my firm or insurance yet

I have one in my room. TBH, I'd sooner have the extra £10pw that it's costing me. All it means is that I have to walk 3m less to brush my teeth in the morning, although some guys seem to think that it also allows them to walk 3m less when they need the loo

okie dokie thank you! and wow.. they're gonna wash their face in the same place they wee in, boys amaze me. Which hall did you stay in if you don't mind me asking?
