Student Life
Students in Manchester enjoy a dynamic lifestyle, with access to world-class education, cultural diversity, and a buzzing social scene. The city's affordability, excellent transport links, and friendly community make it an ideal place for students to thrive academically and socially. Here are some of the things that truly magnify the student life experience in Manchester.
University’s diversity: Manchester University offers a diverse and inclusive student community. The student union offers over 400 clubs and societies that students can join based on their interests.
From sports and performing arts to academic and cultural groups, there is a club that matches the interests of every student.
The campus is lively and filled with events, expos, and workshops in which students can participate and experience one of their best university and student life experiences.
Popular shopping destinations: Manchester has some of the biggest shopping malls around Greater Manchester. Students can visit the Manchester Arndale Centre, situated inside the city centre. It's a large category shopping complex with over 200 official branded stores, with a big food court in the centre.
There is the Trafford Centre, a gigantic shopping complex situated on the outskirts of the city and is one of the biggest shopping centres in the UK in terms of area size and structure. This supermall takes more than a whole day to explore in full.
Students can find fresh produce and affordable groceries at places like the Northern Quarter Market and supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury's.
There is a road called Curry Mile in the Rusholme district of the city, which has over hundreds of traditional and multicultural cuisines, fast foods, and dishes. There are many sisha bars and halal meat shops in this area.
This place is tremendously popular for foreign students studying here. Prices are cheap, and goods sold here are exported from eastern countries, making this place a curry hub of Manchester. People of all ages come here to have a taste of different continents.
Students can also visit some of the work-renowned places such as Old Trafford, home to Manchester United, or the Etihad Stadium, home to Manchester City.
There is a museum dedicated to football for those enthusiastic students who crave sports. The Imperial War Museum North offers a moving experience with its exhibits on conflict and history.

Transportation
Manchester is a big metropolitan city with the city of Salford built side by side. The whole metropolitan area is covered with multiple modes of transportation. They are further discussed below.
Walking: The city has wide sidewalks with appropriate markings and also built with proper pavement design so that disabled people can also commute easily. That's why Manchester is also termed as a pedestrian-friendly city.
Students studying at the University of Manchester can reach all their necessary amenities within a short walk. Even the university campus is designed to give students easy access to all of its campus areas within short walks. Most students living inside the central city area prefer to walk to their destinations as the city gets very busy during peak hours.
Cycling: Almost all the major city roads, especially those that connect areas of Manchester University, have dedicated cycling lanes. Students travel to university campuses by cycling with ease.
This not only helps them to stay active but also explore the unknown corners of the city that are not accessible by cars, and walking can be a bit too boring sometimes.
Every student housing provides cycle parking facilities. Students can visit attractive cycling roads such as Fallowfield Loop and Rochdale Canal Cycle Route, which are safe and scenic
Bus: Students can benefit from discounted bus passes, such as the Stagecoach Unirider or First Bus Student Pass, which offer unlimited travel within specific zones. These passes are inexpensive for daily commutes.
There is also a free shuttle bus that runs through a loop within the city centre connecting Manchester University buildings.
Popular bus companies such as Stagecoach, First Bus, Arriva, etc. cover all the streets and corners of Manchester with bus stops every 5-10 minutes. They offer weekly, monthly, and quarterly bus pass schemes; students get a discounted price.
Students wanting to visit Greater Manchester or other parts of the UK can use National Express to travel between the cities. These long-route buses have separate toilet systems and power outlets for passengers' safety and support.
Trains: For travel between Greater Manchester and beyond, trains are a convenient choice. Major stations like Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria are well connected. Students can avail of railcards for discounted fares
Tram & Other modes: There are online-based car rentals, such as Uber and Deliveroo, where students can share rides to the university, which is convenient and saves time. Also, you can travel on the tram. There is an overground tramway that connects the city centre areas to different parts of the outskirts of Manchester.
To save time, most transport systems in Manchester support contactless payment. Whether you're using buses, trams, or trains, you can simply tap your card or device to pay for your journey.
Housing and Accommodation
Manchester is known for its relatively affordable cost of living compared to other major UK cities. In addition to housing, students can benefit from a variety of housing options at the University of Manchester, catering to different budgets and preferences
On campus: Weekly costs typically range from £110 to £180, depending on the type of room and facilities offered. Their range of on-campus accommodations includes private/shared kitchens, with options for en-suite rooms, shared bathrooms, or studio apartments.
The weekly rent fee includes unlimited free water, gas, and electricity usage. It has 24/7 CCTV surveillance, paid laundry support, a sports room, and cycle/car parking options.
Off-Campus: Weekly rents for off-campus accommodations generally range from £90 to £150, depending on the location, size, and amenities. Student-centric areas such as Fallowfield, Rusholme, and Withington are popular among students due to their proximity to the university and vibrant student communities.
Private Housing: The cost for a shared house can range from £80 to £120 per week per person. Bills are not inclusive with the weekly rent and need to be paid with a separate account creation.
Students who are looking for a more personalised study environment can choose to rent studio apartments that include a private kitchen and bathroom. The cost can be £150 to £250 per week, depending on the location and facilities
