Didsbury: One of the most popular parts of Manchester for anyone to live, never mind just Students, is Didsbury. You’ll have to balance paying more for your student accommodation and travelling further to Uni, against having access to the fantastic lifestyle this area offers.
Fallowfield: With no less than eight halls of residence situated here, Fallowfield is the hub for most Students in Manchester. This is reflected in the large number of takeaways and late-night bars, so if you’re after a quiet life then this may not be the area for you.
Hulme: Close to the city centre Hulme is an area that has been invested in a lot in recent years, and so there are plenty of newly developed buildings to choose from. It is quieter than some of the other options as there are not so many bars and clubs.
Oxford Road: Not an area as such, but the closer you are to Oxford Road, the closer you will be to the University of Manchester’s main campus and some of the coolest hotspots in the area as well.
Rusholme: Halfway between Fallowfield and the City Centre, Rusholme is one of the most affordable places for students to live. It is most well-known for the ‘Curry Mile’ which is packed full of Indian restaurants and attracts people from all over the North West.
Withington: In-between Didsbury and Fallowfield is a densely populated student area called Withington. Withington is popular as it has lots of reasonably priced student houses and flats.
Don’t worry if your student accommodation is not located that close to your Uni in Manchester, there are plenty of ways to get around. Manchester is a compact city, like Liverpool, and there are lots of buses, trams and trains around to get you where you need to go. Manchester is also a really cycle friendly city as well, with lots of marked cycle lanes running throughout the city.

Art & History: Manchester is home to a wide range of galleries and museums, where you can learn about topics as diverse as classic art, the history of football and the campaign for social justice.
Heritage & History: Manchester is the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and it has a variety of musuem’s celebrating things such as it being the home of the first commercial bus route and first passenger railways too.
Food and Drink: Manchester has an extensive food and drink scene, and is firmly established as one of the most exciting places in the UK to eat or drink. From humble street food and pop-up markets, to afternoon tea and fine dining – whatever you fancy to eat, Manchester will offer it.
Retail: People travel from all over the world, never mind the UK, to come and shop in Manchester thanks to its bustling shopping centres, high street destinations, international department stores, and independent boutiques.
