    It looks pretty decent though. Why do you discouraged for us not to go there then?
    Yep, it was pretty decent. All brand new and that. That was actually the root of the problems the year I lived there though - nothing was finished when we first moved in. We had to pay for expensive internet and it only got installed 5 weeks after everyone moved in, there was no reception (unless you count a portakabin which nobody was ever in - getting parcels was a nightmare), there were builders everywhere, doors were always left open and it just didn't feel finished or safe in general.

    I expect it's much different now the teething problems are over, though I expect it's also a lot more expensive (we paid £73 and £76 a week all inclusive when we lived there - for that money even with the problems it was a bargain)... Now I've seen what else you can get for your money in Manchester I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

    I live across the road from Victoria Point and now its finished it looks good, have made a few friends with people there and they have no complaints, if I don't find a houseshare for sept '13 after my placement I think that's where I'll be headed

    uncomfortable mattress and paper thin walls are the biggest cons.

    I would recommend living or asking to be put with UoM students, as MMU finishes earlier and then they get noisy.
