Manchester University Campus Life

The campus at the University of Manchester is like a small city, with its lecture theatres, Students' Union, library, extensive computing facilities, sports grounds, welfare services and numerous shops, cafe-bars, and restaurants. There is also a museum, art gallery and theatre on site.

The City of Manchester

In short, Manchester is one of the most happening cities in the UK, with a plethora of interesting attractions and many green areas. The single most important aspect of any associated city for a student, however, is the night scene. Well, Manchester certainly excels in this department as there is simply a seemingly unending supply of nightspots, including numerous bars, pubs, legendary clubs and live music venues.

Student Loans

The University of Manchester 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.
