Manchester Student Life
Manchester has the biggest student population outside of London, so if you turn up here you know you’ll be well catered for. It’s a vibrant and energetic city with so much on offer when you need that well-earned time off from studies.
Nights Out
Image Credit
The Warehouse Project took the Manchester music scene by storm when it started in 2006. They bring in some of the biggest name DJ’s from around the globe hosting a series of club nights from September to NYE. Tickets sell out fast so make sure you have your finger on the pulse when they release the line-up!
Image Credit
Printworks is a popular venue among students and locals, home to bars such as Cargo, Floripa, Hard Rock Cafe, Bierkeller, Walkabout and more. There are also activities such as Ten Pin, Treetop Adventure Golf and Escape Reality (Escape Rooms) and also home to a 20-screen VUE cinema which includes Europe’s second largest IMAX screen. It’s a guaranteed fun night out with friends!

Manchester boasts a thriving live music scene; you’ll be spoilt for choice with venues to choose from. The city attracts both internationally and nationally recognised artists as well as supporting local up-and-coming acts. Here are a few popular spots to get you started: Gorilla, Soup, Deaf Institute and Band On The Wall.

Public Transport
Manchester has excellent local, national and international transport links. Getting around the city itself is easy by foot and bike as well as having a comprehensive bus, tram and rail network. To get further afield, there are great connections by road and rail to the rest of the UK; you can be in London within 2 hours by train. Manchester also has its own airport, that flies to over 200 destinations: perfect if you fancy a European mini-break!
Eating Out
Being the third largest city in the UK, Manchester has over 650 restaurants! It has loads to offer from styles of cuisine to independent family-run restaurants to chains that everyone loves!
Image Credit
Rudy’s has two relaxed neighbourhood pizzerias in the city, where they serve proper Neapolitan pizza. It will soon become your new favourite pizza spot!
Image Credit
Northern Quarter is Manchester’s creative hub which has unique character and charm. There’s an array of quirky eateries to try such as Nibble Cafe for delicious seasonal dishes.
Image Credit
If you like street food then Manchester is the perfect place for you! There’s Mackie Mayor, a Grade II listed building with independent food vendors, GRUB, which is street food heaven on Red Bank, and Bundobust, an Indian street food and craft beer hall.
Shopping
Image Credit
Arndale is the biggest inner-city shopping centre in the UK. With over 200 shops at the Arndale, you can totally spend the whole day there when you need to escape from your studies. It is highly accessible in the city centre so you can’t miss it!
Image Credit
30 minutes away from Manchester city centre, you’ll find the Trafford Centre. It is best known for its painting, statues and murals on the walls and ceilings, giving a Renaissance atmosphere. There are 200 shops in the centre, including Zara, The North Face, Selfridge's and more.
Image Credit
There are two Selfridges in Manchester: Exchange Square and Trafford. If you’re in the mood to treat yourself, Selfridges is the place to be! There are always events and workshops happening, so if you have the afternoon off, why not try something new?!

Top 10 Tips
Manchester has loads of sports grounds all within close proximity of one another. You can watch a variety of sporting events including football, cricket and track and motocross cycling. If you’re more of a participant than a spectator, get involved in the Great Manchester Run.
From Manchester, you have easy access to the Peaks. Perfect if you’re the outdoors type, or if you need to entertain the parents when they come to visit.
An area for the LGBT scene. Stick around in the summer for Manchester Pride. Manchester is home to one of the UK’s largest LGBT communities so there will be plenty of ways to get involved.
A good first port of call for entertainment. Boasting food, drink, films, gigs, clubs and bars and even a gym; it has pretty much everything you’ll need.
Manchester has an impressive amount of festivals thanks to its cosmopolitan and creative energy. Whether you are into dance music, literature, food and drink or films, you’ll find a festival that’s right up your street.
One Manchester experience you are certainly not to miss is a visit (or several) to the Curry Mile on Wilmslow Road. Round up your mates and see who can stomach the hottest dish.
The Oxford Road Link bus connects the University of Manchester campuses with the city centre, and it’s free if you live on certain campuses.
Manchester’s Chinatown is one of the biggest outside of China itself. It’s a must for a meal out or just some interesting shopping. Head to International Buffet & Restaurant on Nicholas Street for an all-you-can-eat buffet and Buy One Get One Free on drinks.
The Royal Exchange Theatre is well worth a visit at some point, and if you think you can’t afford tickets, think again! As a student, if you book on the day of a performance, you can get tickets for just £10. Even better, you can nab one for a fiver on Mondays and possibly even free on a Friday if you call up at 12 pm!
Head down to the awesome Piccadilly Gardens on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. You can visit the street food stalls for a quality lunch and then stock up on fruit and veg for the week.

Amazing city to live in if you love shopping, eating out and going to nights out. There’s a lot of Asian supermarkets and middle eastern shops so it’s really good for those international students who want to cook their National food from home.

The cost of living however has gone up so it may be quite expensive for some people but it is not as bad as London. read more

Manchester is exp...
Manchester is expensive. There are so many places to eat out in Manchester which is great and a lot are reasonably affordable. Places like Hatch are great to go to because theres a wide range of food. Again, there are a lot of places to go shopping in Manchester, the arndale and afflecks are two main places that offer a lot of options, but there are shops everywhere. Public Transport links are pretty good, there is a lot of buses and main train stations a bus ride away from MMU. Nights out is 1 star as it isn't my scene, but from my experience there are popular clubs, and also the gay village is a place to go if you are lgbtq+ and want to go to lgbtq+ clubs/bars. read more
I've lived in Man...
I've lived in Manchester my whole life. It's a great city and has loads of stuff to do. Nights out in the centre can be pricey but if you travel outside of the city centre (e.g., Stockport) you can pay much less and still have a great night. I live in private rented accommodation and pay a super reasonable price for a 2 bed terraced with my boyfriend. I have paid much less doing this than my brother who has lived in student accommodation. It has meant that I've missed out a bit on 'uni life' but you can afford more nights out with the money you save so it all evens out :) read more

Despite being fur...
Despite being further up north, Manchester is still quite expensive to live in. As a student on a budget, I wouldn’t recommend eating out much. There are plenty of student-friendly places to get food that isn’t too expensive, but they can be tricky to find. Despite this, Manchester has an amazing nightlife with numerous clubs in the student area! The Manchester Arndale centre and Afflecks are not too far from the university campus and provide plenty of places to go shopping and eat too. Public transport is incredibly accessible throughout the city. If you need to get somewhere, there is a great chance that there will be a bus that can take you there. If it’s a bit further out, there’s always the trams too. read more

the transport in manchester is amazing compared to the small town i lived in before. you’re always near a bus stop or a tram stop and even if you’re not taxis are always available. lots of amazing shops to go to: there’s the arndale centre, afflecks, and the trafford centre is only a bus ride away. lots of smaller or independent shops in the city centre too. the nightlife is very good too, there are loads of clubs to go to. for concert enthusiasts there’s the o2 ritz, manchester academy, the o2 apollo and much more who always have amazing artists performing. the independent cafes and restaurants here are unfortunately more on the expensive side, but they are usually worth it (i really like the crafty pig near piccadilly, loved the crowd pleaser sharer). read more

It’s quite a grim place to live, especially if you don’t have money. Due to the cost of living crisis, everything is expensive and you probably would have to cut back on going out, which is a shame due to the many excellent food and shopping places you have here. But then again, even Poland and Latvia are beautiful if you have money. That is a shame for this city which only caters to the rich. read more

I've only lived in one other city in my life so don't have much to compare. Curry mile is a great place to have food and try different cuisines. The buses are usually on time but sometimes, just annoying when their timings are all weird. I've had the best time at night outs and on weekends you'll see oxford road filled with students and people till late night. There are some security concerns for the women, which I've read about on forums and FB groups so that's something to take a look at. read more

Can’t really complain about Manchester. Cost of living is cheap if you stick to the right places, obviously does get more expensive if you head into the NQ, Spinningfields etc, but even then there’s plenty of places to suit a budget. So many restaurants you’re spoilt for choice. Many clubs also, the WHP is a massive incentive to be a student here, and so many bars you’re guaranteed a great night out. Fallowfield and Withington also boast many pubs and bars on the cheaper side, so you don’t even have to go into the city to go out. House parties are going on every night in Fallowfield, and even if you do go into town the bus is £1.50 read more

I really love living in the city, I'm from a much smaller town in the North West and moving to Manchester has been brilliant, especially for my confidence bc I don't really like to go out and socialise. The city was easy to adjust to and though I don't go on nights out, my friends love them and say theyre great read more

You can get a bus pretty much everywhere. There’s loads of great charity shops as well as some stores that can’t be found anywhere else in the country. Nights out are great, if you like clubbing or prefer other activities like mini golf. read more

Loads of shopping...
Loads of shopping eg Trafford centre and Arndale and new cathedral street, tonnes of places to eat out - curry mile, Chinatown, or for fancier stuff look in the city centre (deansgate and spinningfields) and Trafford centre food court. Nights out can vary loads depending on what you want so there’s WHP, basement clubs, the classics like ark and revs, then some fancier clubs and bars for special occasions. Really frequent and cheap buses (£1.50-£2.50 single tickets) and buses at least every 5 minutes, trams in the city centre but most things I’d say you could walk to within the city centre. read more
