Which are the best halls at MMU Manchester? The accommodation questions megathread

ohh okay, thank you for your help though, but birley is still good accommodation it's the one I want haha, hope you still have a good time though

Ayy, its just expensive is all haha, and yeah man, good luck!

thank you!! if you don't mind me asking, what did you say to them on the phone?

Oh I was just kinda like, well how is it that I've just been invited to stage 2, and all the accommodation is gone, except Daisy Bank. And she said that thats just the case, but some space opened up in Birely, (I think someone must've cancelled or something) so I just took that one.

It seems decent, but I'm paying £143 a week which is kinda **** haha

ohhh right thank you! Was MMU your insurance choice? Since you got invited to stage 2 so early?

Ayy, its just expensive is all haha, and yeah man, good luck!

Which Birely accommodation did you get? I got mine this morning! I'm in Vine Birely

Ayy same! I think I'm on the 2nd floor? I can't remember exactly what flat though

ooo I'm on the 3rd floor so maybe I'll see you in September

Yeah I defiantly am prepared to commute, are you from Crewe campus

I'm looking to study Fashion Business and Management next year at MMU but not sure about the accommodation..

From the website I like the look of Cavendish and Birley but not sure after reading mixed reviews on here. I'm looking for my own bathroom but not sure what buildings have them? I've got my own car too so would love parking but can't see anything on the website about that. I'd like to be somewhere lively but not too rowdy (I've heard Cambridge is a nightmare) and Daisy Bank seems too far from campus.

Also how does payment work? On the site it's advertised as weekly but does the money just come out your account every month or at the end of term or what?

If anyone could give a little bit of advice that'd be great!

If your after your own room w/ parking i'd suggest Oxford Court. I stayed there in first year, its kind of russian roulette whether you get a lively flat/block or the complete opposite. Some blocks are very lively and others are completely dead. Birley is without doubt the nicest halls and are fairly lively, very expensive though. There are various payment methods, most people pay three instalments throughout the year as did I. Not sure if you can pay monthly.

Are the Birley flats/townhouse all girls/all boys or are they mixed?

Starting in 2017 and want a good social experience! however don't want to go into cambridge halls although they are known for the best social aspects. What other halls are social? was thinking about Birley but worried it won't be great for partys?
