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.
