Recommended accommodation

Ive applied to study photography MMU and have my conditional offer, just applied for accommodation and was wondering which are the best halls? Cavendish is completely out of the equation as it looks like a prison! Ive put Birley down as my first choice, has anyone else applied to stay here or at other halls in manchester? :smile:

I've not applied for accomodation yet but I was going to put down Birley as my first choice too! Mostly because the others look horrible😂 what other accomodation have you applied for?

No, you don't get your accomodation confirmed until you get your results so you'll be fine. Are you doing btec?

Hey I was going to ask the same question, but how can any of you afford wimslow or birley they are like £6000 a year, all the others look like prisons and youth hostels I am soooo unwilling to go to the others

So true ! But I don't know where else I can go for accommodation, I can't find any private places to go, do you know where I can look ?

Well I think i might settle for Briar fields halls but on the prices it simply states "TBA" which is soooo helpful, but i looked at their rents last year and it was a reasonable 4800 for a en suite which is pretty good from what I have seen so I am guessing it'll be similar this year also.

Other options for you to look at are "Liberty point" accommodation, I know someone who goes and it looks lovely and is about 122 per week, one last option is "Manchesterstudenthomes.com" and look around there for halls. I personally have no idea which way I'm going to go.
