Hi @Himmy1994

I have not lived in Manchester but I did live in student accommodation in Birmingham during my first year at BCU.

Here are some of the important things I considered when choosing which accommodation to live in:

Cost

Tenancy length - check how many weeks your course is so that you book the right length.

Ensuite or shared bathroom - my preference was ensuite however this is a personal decision. If you are going with shared bathroom then I would recommend checking how many people you will be sharing with.

Location - check how far it is from university, a supermarket and the local area.

Facilities - some accommodations will have extras included in the rent - for example free parking or gym access.


Let me know if you have any general questions about living in student accommodation!
