It’s a really good accommodation, specially for international students, they get a chance to interact with other international and Home students. I really enjoyed my stay at Mill Point. The staff is really cooperative and humble people, specially Ayoub, they would make you feel like home always with a smile. The rooms are also really nice and well equipped with everything a student would need.

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.

They have a huge spider problem that they don’t want to address and i mean huge spiders. When I told reception about this I was told they were friendly. So during the summer I decided to sweat in my room rather than sleep next to several spiders

Mill Point is a very good place to stay with close proximity to the Manchester City Centre, University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University. It's nearly adjacent to Piccadilly Train Station which is very convenient for travel for any student. The staff is very friendly, my special mentions go to Ayoub, Amal and Kai. Very friendly staff and overall, a good place to stay.

The lift was out of order for over two months, and we were compensated only £12 each. Washing machines are always dirty and smell. Apart from that, everything is fine. Receptionists are always cheerful and helpful, and all the maintenance requests are completed very fast.

From moving in, at the start great experience with no issues apart from my shower having some black stuff in the corner of the shower, however as time went on in block B2 we had a couple issues with the elevator that were frustrating as well as Walter leaks when heavy rain was happening, the maintenance men tried sorting it out as soon as possible the elevator was frustrating original time and the compensation should have been higher for a resident who was on top floor and like a 2 month outage, Instead of £26 it should have been much higher I believe however the second time the elevator had light issues it was sorted way quicker. I appreciate the staff a lot as I used to order a lot of parcels, like a lot, they were great in managing it all for me, and whenever I had issues like a lost key, they sorted it out for me, so the staff were great.

For me, Mill Point is very good value for money. The interior furnishings of the room and the toilet are clean and tidy; The kitchen is not big but basically enough for two people to cook at once. Sometimes I invite my classmates to my kitchen for dinner and to watch movies. In addition, the staff is not only very enthusiastic, but also very aware of the dangers.

I booked a premium suite because I wanted a bigger bed and more space in general and they surprised me with my room. It is actually huge since I got lucky and got a room at the end of the building. I can even fit a coach and coffee table. It is just 12-15 min walk to either uni and city center and the cleanliness is good. The block is quiet since we’re all postgrads which is amazing (the undergrad buildings look more lively though).

The staff at Mill Point are all really lovely, and do their best to support me with any problems I have. I love having a chat with Kaki when I pick up my parcels and post. One time I accidentally dropped my key in the bins and Ayoub jumped in to help me find it!!! The maintenence man here fixed my shower the same day I reported it was broken which was amazing! Such great service and I have loved living here this year, always a friendly face around.

Extremely bad management team. Do not bother voicing up your issues to the reception as nothing will get resolved. Team members will enter your room freely in the name of doing "maintenance" work. A guy from the team entered my friend's room when she was showering. Also, they randomly charge damages fees to your student account without providing evidence that it was caused by you. If you paid a deposit, it is a sum that it's likely you will not get back. Remember to take pictures of every corner of your room when you're checking out to avoid being exploited. Overall, very negative experience. Feedback to the school about these issues but it is unlikely that improvements will occur. Staying somewhere else might be better for you.
