Honestly the only accommodation I know of almost worth the money considering the jump to the next priced halls, cleaner 2x weekly and bills are included. Despite the rumours, Oak House was the place to be and an institution that will be sorely missed.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Honestly the only accommodation I know of almost worth the money considering the jump to the next priced halls, cleaner 2x weekly and bills are included. Despite the rumours, Oak House was the place to be and an institution that will be sorely missed.
Very noisy place to live. The bedroom doors are poorly engineered and bang loudly. A sticker on mine says "2004" so it has obviously been this way for a long time. People slam them at all hours, and sometimes it can be difficult to actually close them silently. Plus the bedrooms are not very soundproofed. So, unless you get lucky with compatible flatmates, you get woken up at night a lot. Also next to the busy Wilmslow Road, which can also wake you upi... Other than the noise it is OK, but the noise is bad enough that I'd recommend against this place.
Oak House isn't as bad as people say, just more basic than other accommodations. The rooms are a decent size and relatively soundproof, although I would recommend paying extra for one with a sink, it was a lifesaver for me. Yes the green walls are horrible but if you decorate it's absolutely fine, and because Oak is older and cheaper, you don't have to be worried about putting blu-tack up and ruining the paint, it's probably already chipped. The kitchens do what you need, although 1 fridge and 1 freezer for 8 people can be a bit tight. The bathrooms are ok, again just very basic. There are two floors in every flat, one for boys and one for girls. The boys get a shower and the girls get a bath with a shower on the wall. I would recommend oak, the people are great, and the accommodation does the job.
If I could still be living here permanently I would it's better than a 5 star hotel x
Covid-19: Money back but not for everyone lmao
RAH TING. BIG UP THE OAK BLOAKS.
If you wanna party it's great. S*** when you have deadlines.
If you consider yourself as somewhat of a sensitive soul, please do yourself a favorite and pay some extra money for another accommodation. I am an exchange student and first was shook by the accommodation prices in general, so I took the cheapest of course. If someone told me that the £40 i save per week would cost me my sleep, I probably would have chosen differently. I personally can’t agree on the management part, when anything was broken here, or when I wanted to change my room, I always have been helped within one day. But besides that: tiny communal area, people drinking several times a week in almost every flat, no equipment, and I swear I don’t know how I still didn’t develop claustrophobia in these tiny corridors and my prison cell that they call a „room“.
Fondly known as a s***hole, but beloved by all who live there in first year.
if ur up for a fun first year experience choose oak house !!!
Do yourself a massive favour and put oak house as your first choice. + Good wifi + Thick walls + 1 bathroom per 4 peoole + Social hub of fallowfield + Cheap - Not the prettiest (bring decorations) - Sometimes a tad loud -20 minute bus ride from Main campus, 30 minute from City centre
This accommodation is bangin, it's the cheapest so you have plenty of spare cash to fund the sesh, Tower lot will chat s*** about how it's better up there but when you're stuck on the 13th floor with no lift how you gonna get down? That's what I thought b****. Oak House has max one flight of stairs, not that far to walk up and little damage when you stack it down them. Oak House you have to live and die by the sesh. Got a 9am tomorrow? Have an early night then. But if you're awoken by a knock on the window at 4am get on out there and kick on through.
Avoid it's unclean, badly managed and not secure as advertised. Robberies occur and staff do not deal with the entrances that are unsafe promptly. Poor Internet. No local amenities and 45 minute walk to university sites.
Its very live in oak house, its got the best location, of all, right next to squirrels the pub + everyone goes to oak house because its sick, v nice. Rooms are a bit s*** but nice and cosy. Kitchens are aight. Wanted Richmond Park with the dank en-suites originally and was disappointed with oak house but once you're here you realise richmond is over priced and s*** in comparison
Best experience on campus, it's really not worth paying for an ensuite, oak house have the best flat parties
The best Hall if what you're looking for is loads of flat parties, loads of people, and loads of intoxicated experiences.
Oak house is good if you wanna be very social but don't believe what other people say about it being too much of a party place there is a time and place. It can get noisy sometimes but for the most part it's okay. There is a quite time enforce during exam times so no worries there. Also it's really what you put into it if you want to be partying all the time and going out you can but at the same you have your space to stay home and chill too. If you are looking for clean and tidy ultra quite place don't come here. If you wanna socialise and bond with flat mates don't mine the noise but like paying cheap rent then this is the place.
One of the most social halls and also one of the cheapest. It's not the most attractive but everyone here loves their first year. It's also not very noisy as everyone always says, so still very easy to concentrate on work.
Good fun, social atmosphere, near to lots of shops, etc.
The epitomy of cheap and cheerful; but it's so sociable and because it's so run down no one cares if you put posters up or make a mess!
The true university experience.
The best place to be whilst at uni. Everyone is so friendly and you make the best friends. Can get quite noisy but you get used to it. I'm so pleased I chose this place
One of the cheapest halls and is great for the amount you pay! The halls are in flats rather than corridors so it's more difficult to meet other people that live near you, however it is possible. The flats are nice enough for what you're paying and are a good size, so would recommend.
Best place to live hands down, wouldn't recommend anywhere else
terrible accomodation, good social experience
If you want to make the most of freshers, have a social life and also work a bit then this is it
It's really social, loads going on, and shower is amazing
Great place for social, met great people and have had a great time so far!
Oak House is the daddy of fallowfield's social life- perfect 1st year experience. Close to Squirrel's Bar, it is the biggest halls in Fallowfield. There's always something happening. Great people. Spontaneous events. Rooms are actually bigger than what you think. Very cosy. The place to be for social activities but don't get me wrong- you can still study well here. Wherever you stay, doing well on your course is down to you not the halls of residence.
The best socially, basic rooms but they are liveable, right next to Wimslow Road which is very handy, quite loud at night
Cheap and great place to meet people
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless they have absolutely no money. For £92 a week you are getting a roof over your head and basic utilities. Laundry services cost extra and there is nothing provided in the kitchens. Common areas are small, making it hard to socialise, and the rooms look like prison cells. I've stayed in a hall with bad rooms before, but the management put a lot of effort into making our stay enjoyable. At oak house, the management are unfriendly, rude, and condescending - a big shock as an exchange student far away from home . Essentially all you are getting from this hall is an opportunity to socialise, and nothing more.
Unreal Halls for social life, and making the most of Manchester
Real poor socialising areas in flat, but had a fantastic time as it is what you make of it
-always noisy here -everything is local (except uni and a train station) -buses to uni are very regular -the room is like a prison cell
It might not be the most modern of accommodation but it is all you need as a first year. Everyone who lives here is so friendly too!
If you want an amazing social experience then look no further. Expensive at 90 quid a week but it is the cheapest the university has to offer. Devastated when I got it initially, now would not go anywhere else. The rooms are small, it looks like a prison and you have to share a bathroom but it has got that special something.
Ugly halls, poor quality building and appliances but in a top location and sociable.
By far the best, cheapest and most sociable halls in UoM, you will love it!
It's old and ramshackle but the social life surpasses any other hall. It's a shame they're knocking it down.
Terrible halls, dingy and small. Best place you can live in first year in Manchester. The heart if student life. Kitchen and common area are fantastic for pres and there is always something going on.
