University of Salford

Manchester is a very big city so...there is plenty of stuff to do. Night life is quite exiting because you can go out clubbing every night if you want to! That´s really cool. As I said before thought I live in Salford it only takes me 15 minutes walking to get to Manchester center. The are plenty of clubs to go but it depends on which kinda music do you like. For example I do like salsa, hip hop, R&B, rap, soul... you know, all this kind of stuff. So... I tend to go to "Ponana! or "Havana" or "Copa Cabana" or "La tasca" but if you do like house or techno don´t worry...you have a huge variety of places to go. Best cafe... mmmmm I would say "Cafe Nero" it is very expensive but...it is worth it. "Starbucks" it is quite ok as well. Events or places... well..as you know in Mancehster there is Manchester United so... if you do like football you cannot miss to go to "Trafford Center". Filmworks is a chain of cinemas and it is really cool to go there. As student you have discounts from monday to thrusday so... it is good going there or to the Theatre. In Manchester there are plenty of restaurants from eveywhere. China town is where all the chinesse restauyrants are but... it is very expensive. Manchester is full of Italian restaurants and the food is great... I do like a very small italian restaturant called "Don Giovanis" and it is in Oxford Road, one of the main roads in Mancehster center... that restaurant it is very nice and the people who work there are very friendly...I go there for a meal very often. And... I think that this is all. Manchester is a very industrial city amnd the weather is crap, you knwo, cloudy and rainy but...it is ok. You get used ti it and...at the end...you love that city!

Cost-savingP^Not at all. As I pointed out before. UK is expensive so... if you want to study there you need a good grant or... your family have to be wealthy.

Salford is a bit of a rough neighbourhood, but if you're careful, you'll be allright. Manchester is within walking distance, and is bustling with life, though a bit depressive in the way it looks. Check for Ryanair specials, and you might be flying to Dublin and back for £25.

University bedding pack costs £30, so better ask the frindly international helpers to take you to a shop the first day (or take a taxi) to get your duvet & stuff.

I lived on campus, in Horlock Court. The student union shop, HSBC bank, the university bookshop and the laundrette were located on Horlock complex, and adjacent to it was the sports centre, which was really convenient. My bedroom was supplied with high speed internet broad band internet access and I had my own phone. About the fees: it was a bit expensive but it was worth it. I really enjoyed living there.
