Hi
@jzxxxxk [br] I’ve lived in 2 accommodations in my first year. Cambridge South and MSV Dwell living. Genuinely, how sociable the flat is really depends on who you are living with! I know people in ‘ the most sociable’ accoms who haven’t been sociable at all! There are so many accoms in MMU so I haven’t been to them all but I can defo suggest a few pros and cons for each. These are obvs from personal experience and people will defo of had a different opinion to me!Cambridge south -
Cambridge is one of the most popular accoms socially. It’s one of the cheapest and very close to Oxford Road and lecture halls. If you are ok with noisy and party life this might be a good place for you. You have to share 2 toilets and showers between 10 and have one big kitchen. The kitchen isn’t furnished with sofas ,just the kitchen table, but has all necessary equipment to cook with. Cambridge doesn’t have a common room but people often just make really close mates with their Plentiful flat mates or socialise with other people on other floors. Cambridge North hasn’t been refurbished, but appliances still work. The social aspect and location is brilliant. It’s near the library, Tesco express and bus stops. I lived her for a bit but moved to MSV.
Cambridge north
Its like an upgraded version of south, upgraded kitchen appliances and bathroom. Same social vibe and it’s just across from north in the same courtyard, so just as good with location.
MSV
I love this accom and it’s really close to the centre of town and right next to courtyard, which is a really popular pub with the students. It has a gym, which is well furnished and clean, and the rooms has double beds and rlly roomy. These flats usually have 4 people in them. They are smaller so less noisy but still a nice in between between party and quiet. Facilities are lovely and they have a cute common room with lots of stuff to do.
Birley
This is another of one of the most popular accoms. They have a range of buildings round Manchester. Modern kitchens and spacious social areas and just as social as Cambridge.
Cavendish
this is located next to Cambridge and has bigger dorms usually of 12. It’s a little more expensive than Cambridge but has more of a common room type of lay out as it has a cinema you can book and have nights out in for free. Kitchens are spacious and have big bay windows to look out over the city. They also are pretty sociable accoms too!
these are just some of the accom that I’ve seen in person, there are so many in Manchester!
