Manchester Metropolitan University

There was just one introductory session in freshers week, where we were able to meet the people we would be with for the next three years. They helped us to get to know each other through activities in this session which put me at ease as I previously knew no body. The freshers fair was really helpful aswell. I lived in Needham Court and it was amazing. My room was large and I had my own bathroom as I chose a more expensive accommodation. The security were really helpful and we had their number should we need them. The halls were clean and I felt safe. I spent much of my time in the Library and I thought it was outstanding. There was also study pods in the Business school which I used often which was nice as a change of scenery when studying. I thought the food in the student union was overpriced and always took over an hour to come, so I did not spend much time there, but the rest of the facilities were amazing. I enjoyed having big lectures and then have tutorials afterwards where it was more intimate and I could ask questions. The content was mostly really engaging and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I like that we had to tap our cards on entry to sign in, as it encouraged me to make it to the early lectures rather than to sleep in. I am from a small town in somerset so I enjoyed being in Manchester. There was a buzzing student atmosphere due to there being so many universities and everyone mingled. The city was big enough to have unlimited things to do, but small enough that I quickly learnt my way around. I also loved how safe it felt, I would often walk home from work o deansgate locks to my flat by Manchester arena at night and feel very safe.
