Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
It is very easy to arrange for on-campus accomodation through the university; however, sharing kitchen and toilet with 1 other residents is not a pleasant experience. Be warned that local students like to get themselves drunk and vomit everywhere.

Personal comments
Very unclean, very noisy, a lot of pranksters stealing things from our kitchen and come in and disturb you in the middle of the night if you forget to lock your door before you go to bed.

Final comments
Try to buy a semersterly bus ticket. Don't wonder about to much rain and fog in Manchester. It's also very industrial and a bit criminal. But in general, get there as soon as you can.

Personal comments
Night Clubs: Area located near Piccadilly Square (Copacabana, etc). The area near the canal is also excellent. I'm sure that whatever your preferences you'll find a place that suits you.
Events: Try to go to a concert of a famous artist. Also try to go to a ManUtd football match.
