Hi I've applied to a few accoms that weren't mentioned, Daisy park, denmark road, weston hall and brook hall. I just was wondering what you thought about these? I want an accomodation with good social life but nothing crazy crazy. Great video!
Hi! Great video, actually really helped me to make up my mind but I'm still wondering if I could get your advice. I'll be going to Manchester next year as a master's student. Honestly, all I care about is quietness. I've had my fair share of fun when I was an undergraduate so I just want a space on my own inside the campus to study and sleep comfortably. I don't have any budget problems and I'm looking for rooms with private bathrooms, still not sure if i should go with catered or self-catered though. Any advice for me? Thanks!
Great video but have to disagree about Woolton Hall. My brother was there and I loved visiting him there. It had a really homely vibe and a real sense of community. To be fair this is going back 15 years but I can't imagine it's fundamentally changed that much.
Hello! I have a question about my current choices for accommodation. I have five options currently: Sheavyn House, Unsworth Park, Daisy Bank hall, Richmond Park, Brook Hall. Are these options good? Thank you!
Hi! Especially in covid times I haven’t really been anywhere near them but I do have friends who are in Victoria park and city and they do say it is quiet and there isn’t really much going on, city is nearer the uni and city so I suppose you are closer to possible things to do but tbh there is such great transport links you aren’t really too far from anything wherever you choose to go! :) x
Yeah the social life is good at unsworth there is always something going on but it’s big enough to have the range of people that you can still chill if that makes sense! I’d say it’s good for what you’re looking for :) x
@@PhoebeJones thank-you! fantastic video in terms of the information you put across, seeing as the website lacks the insight that students have, and are also a little biased :)
Hey, what do you think about catered halls? Are they worth it? They're around the same price so I feel like I will be saving a lot of money in the long term... Is the small kitchen they have okay? Or is it shared with many people?
The small kitchens for eg the ones in ashburne that they use for the week are quite small but to be honest it’s very rare that there will be a lot of people in there at the same time. I share a flat with 10 people and it’s extremely rare for 2 of us to be In the kitchen at the same time, even at “Normal” meal times as people’s eating habits are strange at uni! Catered hall food seems to be ok, obviously you don’t have too much choice and also the meals are at certain times eg 8:30 for breakfast so you’d have to get up early or miss breakfast. I think the amount of people that use the kitchen will depend on how many are in your corridor etc I think it varies per accom!
Hey! This was a great video really informative, thank you! Just one question, do you know if these accommodations are only for freshers? Or can second and third year students also live here?
Just a question about accommodation prices, for “catered” is the price of catering included in the (~£6,000) total or is there an extra fee for meals on top of the 6k a year?
no that fee includes meals so no extra (obviously. you have to pay "extra" to buy things to eat at weekends (if catered weekends aren't included). Sheavyn house however does do a cater package so you can pay a fee per week/meal to eat at the catered facilities at Ashburne :)
Hi! I just firmed Manchester for English Lit and I’m thinking of choosing Denmark Road, Brook Hall & Burkhardt. What do you think of those accoms / have you heard anything about them? Xxx
Hi, Denmark road is nice and it’s right by the uni, but Denmark road and Brook hall aren’t run by the uni, so everything is a little bit different regarding rules and who to contact about things. I know Denmark road is ran by sanctuary students so I think anyone can go there(not 100% sure on that though). Burkhardt and Brook hall and both in Victoria Park which is abit away from the “social” scene of fallowfield and seems to be quite a quiet area social wise. I think there were a couple break ins in some of the accommodation in Victoria park if I remember a couple months back. For the application process you have to pick 5 and it’s not in any preference order and usually you get one of your 5 so you kind of don’t have as much of a choice about accom as you think you do. But if your looking for a social area and people to be around fallowfield is definitely the place to be :) x
@@PhoebeJones amazing, thank you so much for replying! I actually had no idea Denmark and Brook hall weren’t run by the uni, so that’s interesting. I was thinking of applying to Victoria Park, mainly because I wanted to make sure I had a mix of a social life and some peace (as I’ve heard Fallowfield can be rowdy sometimes). But, I’ll definitely check out all the options! :) xx
do u think manchester accommodation is alright if I want to have my girlfriend over every other weekend from a different uni? or should I just go with private
So I’m joining UoM this September and wondered if you could suggest a good accommodation for me. I’m looking for something that’s catered, with private bathrooms. I also value social life. Additionally I’ll be studying engineering (if that matters.) Budget isn’t an issue. I’d love if you could give some suggestions. Catering would be nice, but the private bathroom is pretty important.
for social life I'd 100% recommend fallowfield, and look for ensuite so I think there are about 3/4 that fit that but I'm not sure if these are all self catered:)
If you need to bring a car, what is the best accommodation parking wise? If the accommodation does not have parking are there any alternative places to park?
There is a car park right by Richmond but there are a couple spaces here and there and some around sheavyn and Ashburne and in the sports car park by unsworth but as a lot of the accoms are very close together you can easily park and walk and you would probably only have a 2 min walk at most

Sameee
This is so so informative plus can you do a video on what’s it like to live In Manchester ?
Hi yeah sure! What would you want to know? X:)
@@PhoebeJones things to do, cost of living etc
@@Raycarlaxo best clubs, best eateries/takeouts, bus routes from fallowfield to campus
The tower is empty, Tree Court is the only block left that's in use for Owens
Not anymore :(

I’d say self catered is quieter as you can keep to yourself
@@PhoebeJones Thank you! Any advice on which one will suit me the best among the ones you've talked?
Great video but have to disagree about Woolton Hall. My brother was there and I loved visiting him there. It had a really homely vibe and a real sense of community. To be fair this is going back 15 years but I can't imagine it's fundamentally changed that much.
That’s nice to hear!:) I get what you mean about it having a community feel!
Hello! I have a question about my current choices for accommodation. I have five options currently: Sheavyn House, Unsworth Park, Daisy Bank hall, Richmond Park, Brook Hall. Are these options good? Thank you!
Hi! Yes I think that’s good choices
what is your opinion on hulme hall and saint anselm hall....which one's better acc to you and why ?
what are your thoughts on the other campuses (victoria park and city)? I’ve heard there’s a lot less going on, is that what you have noticed?
Hi! Especially in covid times I haven’t really been anywhere near them but I do have friends who are in Victoria park and city and they do say it is quiet and there isn’t really much going on, city is nearer the uni and city so I suppose you are closer to possible things to do but tbh there is such great transport links you aren’t really too far from anything wherever you choose to go! :) x
would you say ensuite is way better than shared bathroom? just wondering if i should avoid either x
I would say en-suite, I mean you can’t avoid either otherwise you won’t have anywhere
what’s the social life like at unsworth? not looking for the overkill that you get at oakhouse, but looking to have a good time
Yeah the social life is good at unsworth there is always something going on but it’s big enough to have the range of people that you can still chill if that makes sense! I’d say it’s good for what you’re looking for :) x

Freshers are guaranteed but 2nd and 3rd years can also live there
@@PhoebeJones Great, thank you so much!!
Aren’t the UOM lectures online starting from September? If so, it’s quite ironic with the ‘rather be at MMU’.
It varies for course mine is in person and some online in September

@@PhoebeJones okay that’s great thank you, still can’t decide between Nottingham and Manchester but I think I’m leaning towards Manchester :)
@@seb131 :)! If you have any questions feel free to ask :) x
@@seb131 I'm deciding between Manchester and Leeds but leaning towards Manchester too :)
@@izzgrace6638 Both very good unis grace, I ended up firming Manchester, and my insurance choice was Nottingham :) I also had an offer from Leeds
Hi! Thank u for this video :-) were you able to change ur curtains? Xx
No I didn’t change mine but It might have been possible too, no one else did though :)
If I get full scholarship, then I don’t need to pay for accommodation or?
scholarship would be for tuition fees so you still need to pay for accommodation:) x
@@PhoebeJones Thank you!
@@PhoebeJones what’s the eligibility criteria for getting fully funded scholarship

do u think manchester accommodation is alright if I want to have my girlfriend over every other weekend from a different uni? or should I just go with private
Technically you can’t have anyone over but it just depends on if the rest of your flatmates are ok with it, so I’d say generally it is alright :)
So I’m joining UoM this September and wondered if you could suggest a good accommodation for me. I’m looking for something that’s catered, with private bathrooms.
I also value social life.

@@PhoebeJones yes, I think I’ll go for either unsworth, Richmond or sheavyn (provided I get in). Thank you so much
What course u joining. I am goin September 2021 for 2 nd year and booked Richmond park fallow field. And btw you are from which city in india ??
@@rahulkalra6065 Yo how was richmond park? might be going there

Thank you very much. Very informative 👍🏼
Glad you found is useful!😊
does unsworth have a lift?
Some of the blocks do yes
is accom based off first come first serve basis? xx
I think it may be but I’m not 100% sure
It’s random apparently which is why you don’t number your options. I applied for accommodation afew weeks ago and they say then it’s completely random
@@saraedwards2255 Thanks !
What about Ladybarn House?
Ladybarn house is across the road from all these accommodations and it is a private halls
@@PhoebeJones Oh, are the ones you referenced on-site accommodations in Fallowfield for UOM?
Yes :)
@@PhoebeJones Thank you! 😊
The communal bathrooms in Ashburne are atrocious.
Can’t believe Unsworth was just £160 per week. Now, it’s £207 per week😭 Still I am happy I got it.
Oh wow!! That’s a massive increase
