Overall

I wish I had known...

It is very difficult to change programmes of study, most of the time this requires restarting at the first year level.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Final comments

Overall, the University of Manchester was an excellent institution; I definitively grew as a person and learned a lot along the way. I would recommend this institution with the caveat that it sometimes becomes far too easy to spend too much money on nightlife. Make sure you budget carefully and you will be fine.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Because sharing a house in England is pretty cheap and it gives you independance. Plus, it enables you to meet new people.

I didn't find a room through Uni but through the internet, and I was really happy about what I found.

Housing

Type of housing: hall of residence

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: hall of residence

Why?

The atmosphere was excellent. There were a lot of English students. Moreover the typical hierarchy of the place (warden, president of the junior common room) is something which is typically English and was was worth it.

Personal comments

The accomodation office within the University was really helpful. It took them two days to find me a hall of residence that fulfilled my requirements. I didn't want to live amongst other international students because I was eager to improve my English so the Hall of residence was great. I met great people and the food and the activities provided were fantastic. Unforgettable !
