I haven't really enjoyed my time at university. Nobody else ever came to class so I never made any friends. The workload was impossible to cope with and many of the lecturers were arrogant and unhelpful.

Great university with all amenities

Professors are too busy so won't help you with your projects, other than that the facilities and courses are awesome.
Very good student life and very good facilities
Good, I think everything is good for student and very comfortable and convenient
I joined UOM specifically for the student life rather than the teaching quality, although the teaching is also very good. There is SO much to do outside of teaching hours that I struggled a bit to concentrate on my actual course! I would absolutely recommend this uni for anyone who's looking for diverse experiences and opportunities.
Good environment in ambs lots of friendly professor and tutor to help
Amaizng expereince staying in parkway gate. The satffs are very dry helpfull
Great! 👍 love living here!!!!!
I love the school, very nice people and nice clubs that I can join. Love the community and the learning method.
This university is fantastic with a diverse student body and a supportive body of staff!
Just wish the university would take more decisive stances on issues, responding to student voice better.
Nice university, clean study spaces.
The university is really nice, all the buildings are representative of what your future will look like e.g the business building looks like offices. The people are nice, the lectures are great and everything is easy to follow.
The University of Manchester has a vibrant academic environment, empathising on research and industry experience through internships and placement.

Overall great experience at UoM
I absolutely love it here. The faculty, staff, teachers and facilities are unlike any other. Yes the internet is annoying but everything else makes up for it. The best part is, if you are an international student the university makes sure you don’t feel homesick. There’s so much going on and they take such good care of all it’s students it feels like you gained another mother. Especially if you have disability the university will take care of all your needs.
I think overall it offers the best it can and at times it seems like it’s a bit disconnected from its students
Great facilities and campus. Some variety of societies but there could be more, Student Union is good.
It didn't feel like the club activities were very well developed and the wifi required multiple reconnections.
Very welcoming, so much to do! Best professors and lecturers. Email communication is great.
I’m studying Adult Nursing at the University of Manchester and I am absolutely delighted with my uni experience. The campus is in the heart of Manchester and there is a lot of great opportunities for students, activities for leisure, sports, food, entertainment and more. There’s a big sense of community and belonging I have found in UoM and would absolutely recommend anyone to apply!!!
They always have some sort of event going on and send active emails for students looking for jobs whilst studying.
Great experience and nice environment
Great teaching and social experiences
I liked uni. I didn't make a lot of friends but overall I had a good experience the first year. Here's to a better second year!
An amazing University. Great city, multicultural and perfect for students. Nothing to complain about.

Vert useful. Very nice. Good university.
Overall nice experience, the people are greate and the units are well structured
Good experience in here, love to stay here for next year
There are some services provided across campus, eg career advice, but you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get to it as drop-ins are highly limited.
Quite fulfilling experience overall
The university of Manchester is one of a kind! As a sociology student, I feel at home and that there is so much to learn here. Learning here at Manchester doesn’t end in the lecture halls, it extends into the social world as well and I love it!
You will always find people that you connect with! The study spaces are great, especially Ali g considering its open 24/7.
It could be better in terms of social well-being. Which is missing between international and domestic students.
Information on certain aspects like careers is more complicated then it needs to be.
Good university, can feel a bit lonely at times
Uni is amazing! Good union prices and reliable wifi
Study spaces have to be renovated
The WiFi is probably the worst part about UoM.
Best uni for societies and for studying
great uni, the societies are great and the location is great
Great university but I didn't enjoy my course because it was so hard (Maths and Physics)
Great place great WiFi great facilities
From the comfortable environment to the friendly teachers and staff, it all made my study life easy and comfortable.
Really great staff and facilities compared to rest of the accommodations
Corrupt and doesn’t listen to its students. Staff on strike most of the time. Unhelpful support services. Generally incompetent IT team with **** wifi and data breaches as all their servers are on ancient tech. But those weren’t asked about in the star ratings lmfao
Overall the uni experience is fine
University of Manchester offers a great academic experience, and the faculty staff are exceptional.
That is excellent but is a little far from universally. Route to accommodation is scary at night
My course has treated me terribly but facilities is good
It has been an effective and enriching experience
Great university - would recommend
Nice campus environment and kind peers.
Some tutors are supportive, some lecturers are great.
It’s a good uni innit like I’m just there to chill
Great university. Good facilities for students.
nice campus and faculties, I can always get helps as an international student.
The SU is very politically biased, unfriendly atmosphere for students outside the groupthink. Wifi is often intermittent
Beautiful campus, great tutors, and helpful staff.
It’s a good experience to study at the UOM
I love the campus, always busy and a really nice atmosphere. Plenty of good study spaces but everywhere can get very busy
Great uni experience, all I could’ve asked for
