Should I choose halls or private accommodation at Manchester?

Think halls just easier for first years as that way u prob get to meet more people and maybe slightly cheaper? At least then if u dont get on with flatmates u have option of switching to another flat and there will be other first years around. Unless u r mature student etc then not halls probs.

Manchester Uni is a bit spread out over the city but has main teaching campus and lecture buildings in clusters. Fallowfield is in a seperate suburb but I think a few halls (so am guessing it feels like a mini campus) in the same area and it is meant to be quite a happening area of Manchester with its own nightlife, bars, cafes, restaurants etc nearby so you don't always have to go into city centre for a social time but you would need to travel about 3 miles for lectures into city centre maybe. Thats just what I got from own reading and visiting the Uni in the centre anyways. Hope that helps a bit and anyone else feel free to correct me if i've got that wrong.
