I’m doing comp sci and maths, I’m moving all the way from wales to whitworth park. I don’t really have much hobbies but might try some new ones. And I’m looking forward to meeting people who also have the same aspirations as me

Hey, does anyone know how I can find my university email address after I have activated my IT account. Apparently it's meant to be on 'MyManchester' but I can't find it :/

Hi, I got offered Manchester gardens as my 1st yearaccommodation but felt it wasn’t worth the money so Ilooked at private ones. I found st Gabriel’s which is sameprice but nicer and has gym etc. I’ve paid my deposit for stGabriel’s but now I’m worried the social life will be so dead.I share a kitchen between 8 of us but I’m not sure if it’s justinternational students as it’s a brand new accom and quiteexpensive.Any advice and should I switch back to a student hall?

I've been trying for 4 days to activate mine and it's still not working. Coming up with error messages but the IT team don't know what's up with it either. By the 30 mins wait times on calling them, I'm guessing they're having issues with a lot of emails.
