Experience in Manchester, United Kingdom by Rhiannon

What is it like to live in Manchester? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

I would definitely recommend Manchester, it's a really big city but after a few months you begin to find out where is good to go and you become very familiar with Oxford road, which is the road in between halls and uni. Fallowfield is the main student area where most people live, it's like its own community of students with lots of bars and pubs and is you can easily walk to uni or get the bus.

It's very fun, going out is a big thing and there are plenty of places to go. The Warehouse Project is one of Manchester's highlights, it's in the night and they last from September to December every year where big DJ's play.

I paid £77 a week for my house, but you can get them cheaper/more expensive.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Manchester? Is there any advice you can give?

Not at all, there are so many places to live, again, I'd stick to Fallowfield which is the main student area.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

The Curry Mile is in between Fallowfield and uni and is a mile full of curry houses! there is also a big Sainsburys in Fallowfield.

What places would you recommend visiting in Manchester?

Beetham tower - Cloud 23, it's a cocktail bar at the top of the Hilton hotel in Deansgate, it's very expensive but you see all of the city and god to go there on a one off occasion.
