The city of Huddersfield

Located to the northwest of Manchester in northern England, Huddersfield is well connected by road and rail and benefits from two, nearby international airports (Manchester International Airport and Leeds/Bradford International Airport).

Huddersfield itself is a medium-sized town with plenty of culture and history. Its pedestrianised city centre streets are characterized by restored Victorian architecture and a large collection of cafes, restaurants, and traditional pubs and bars, while the nearby beauty of the Pennine Hills offer ample opportunity for hikers.

Student Loans

Huddersfield University is allowed to charge new, full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for a student loan to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Student loans are the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
