Hi there,

Welcome to the official Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) Accommodation Thread for 2024!

Here, you have the opportunity to meet and chat with fellow offer holders, meet other people staying in your accommodation, and ask any questions you want regarding Manchester Metropolitan University accommodation.

Below are some icebreaker questions to help you get started:

“What course have you applied for?”
“Have you booked accommodation yet? If so, what accommodation have you booked?"
“How are you feeling about starting University?”

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Hi my daughter is interested in booking Oxford Court or Briarfield for this September. It was not showing as available on the portal, is it all booked up or is there more availability to come?

Hello. I am asking for recommendation for Female only en-suite flats. I wish to stay in a quite place. I prefer to stay in the MMU halls if this choice exists before looking at the other private partners outside. I will be doing Art courses if this helps. Thanks in-advance.

If it's unavailable on the portal then it's likely that it's booked up, I'm afraid. That being said, you can contact the Accommodation team on [email protected] to check with them directly 🙂 - Chloe

Hi! The only difference really is that the Plus rooms are bigger. All other features (bed size, flat size, etc.) are the same🙂 - Chloe

Hi! You can filter your search for female-only flats when booking on the accommodation portal 🙂 - Chloe

Hello.
Here is the link.

You will be allowed access to the portal & can book only if you have made MMU your firm choice.
Good luck.
Im joining in September and want to know which are the main lively/ party accommodations and which are the more relaxed ones?
Hi I’m deciding between Birley and Cambridge, which do you think is better and why? Is there a difference between the lifestyle in north&south or between townhouses&en suites too ?

Hi there!

I stayed at Archway halls in my first year at MMU and I would say it’s definitely a happy medium. There were parties within the blocks that you could attend if you were feeling it that night (you can easily find which flat they’re in through accom group chats), however when I didn’t fancy joining, or had work the next day, I found the rooms to be pretty sound proof and therefore could also enjoy a quiet night in. I can’t give much insight into the other accommodation options available since I don’t know too much about them. From what I’ve heard Birley townhouses are great for a party vibe if that’s what you’re searching for! Anymore questions about accommodation, feel free to ask!

Best wishes,
Molly, Student Rep
Hey, if anyone here needs accommodation, I have an ensuite accommodation for £215 at Unite students Mill Point for 44 weeks and I’m looking for a tenancy replacement.
The accommodation is roughly a 15 min walk from AMBS . It is very accessible to grocery shops (lidl/tesco). Dm me if interested.
