Horror stories about the architecture course/uni?

I can't talk about your course, but the life at uni is pretty amazing, the city is huge so there are zillions of things to do (shopping, gigs, etc), and the university offers a lot of activites, sports, societies, conferences and so on. It's not really easy to describe life at uni since you'll have your own experience of it, but I very much doubt it's a uni where you can get bored. The architecture is also quite incredible, just on Oxford Road you have a wide range of architectural styles and the city centre is also very very nice, so if you like taking pictures, you'll like Manchester .

Ooh haha cool, thanks very much!!! That sounds interesting Because I'm an international student, I was wondering how much housing costs in comparison to other places like...Nottingham and Liverpool perhaps?

Well, I'm a EU student, so even if I pay home fees, I'd say that Manchester is a pretty cheap city, tbh. The bus fares are not so expensive and there are plenty of little shops where you can do shopping and it's gonna be cheap as chips

I am also an EU student but it seems you are from a different part of the union than me. Manchester is extremely expensive compared to back home. Things like meat or even a bottle of Coke cost around TWICE as much as they do back home. My bus pass here is more than twice what I would pay back home.
The only things that are cheaper here than back home are peanut butter and gym memberships and fortunately for me, I love both of those.

Have you asked in the architecture forum?

I haven't heard any horror stories... I think jrhartley (hope I got that right) had some problems a while back but other than that I've never heard someone have anything really negative to say about it.

I'm on the course and no problems so far. The department is a bit stretched given the number of students, other than that it's good.

Haha i've searched but doesn't seem to have much information =| was hoping perhaps someone in the uni could tell me about the course! It's cool you're studying architecture in manchester! How many students do they have in first year? ><

Hi! I just applied to Manchester for architecture (intl student), and i know it's a rather popular university and choice of course too. But i've heard some...stuff about the department and the course, except I can't find the exact problems/stories. Anyone care to share them here? Also, how's life like in the Uni?
