Taking a car to Manchester University

You can get permits on a semester basis at some of the halls in Fallowfield. I forget which, and how much it is, but it is possible and some do.

Most people I know don't bother and if you're thinking of driving to university forget it unless you have more money than sense.

Private housing you can park in the street but have you seen the parking situation in Fallowfield? You will be very lucky to be able to park near your house.

Private halls tend to charge an awful lot of money for cars.

Just a problem because most of the houses are on "Coronation Street" type roads - very narrow and lined with cars, so it's always difficult to park! One of my boyfriend's mates has a car, but they live in Levenshulme, bit further out and possibly not so busy. However, if you take a car you should find room for it, but also be warned it's likely it may be vandalised!

I drive to uni.......i park in a car park on a council estate in somewhere called plymouth grove and takes me ten minutes to walk from there to uni. Its easier for me cos i live in chorlton. I cud get a bus easy enough tho.
Be careful tho cos if u a dizzy blonde like myself and leave the face of ya stereo in ya glove box it will get stolen. Mine has twice...y did i not learn from first time i dont know.

hi steph, do many students who live in fallowfield take their cars?

Do many mancehster uni students take their cars with them during term time?

You can get the 23 to the trafford centre though. There are not many 86's before 7:00 though so I see your problem there. I went to Salford and had to get the 86/46/84 to town then get a bus into Salford from there.

Its Wythenshawe Hospital so I would have to walk to princess road and get the 109 at 6.30am.....I did it in the summer when my car was in garage was not too bad but gettin home I had to wait till half 3 for a bus was not home till half four.....just made the day too long when i am supposed to study 2.

Wythenshawe is a pig to get to by bus from Chorlton ever since the 84 stopped running there. I doubt we will ever get the Metrolink.

However Cheadle has a direct bus link to Wythenshawe and it gets a lot of trouble there at night because of it.

Don't get me wrong there are a lot of decent people who live there, there is just a lot of chavs as well and they really do cause a lot of trouble. I bet you have seen your fair share of it working at that hospital.
