ACCOMMODATION Manchester is a student-friendly city in which to live, with great affordable accommodation both in the heart of the city and a little further out (with good transport links if you do!). With average rental prices of £74 a week, it is perhaps surprisingly lower than the national average of £79.42, considering it is one of the major student cities.

MANCHESTER

Within Manchester, there are a lot of students based in areas with lower satisfaction levels, such as Victoria Park (56%), Longsight (44%) and Rusholme (56%); with Victoria Park and Rusholme offering rates of £70 a week, and

Longsight being cheaper at £62. The city centre is rated highly at 74%, but has more expensive rents of £89. For Man Met students, areas near campus, such as All Saints and Cambridge Halls, score well at 78% and 86% respectively. Uni of Manchester students tend to live around Fallowfield (68%) and Withington (58%), which offer slightly higher weekly rental prices of £75 and £71. Didsbury has great links to the city centre whilst offering a more community feel, with rental rates of 73% and satisfaction rates of 62%.

AFS TOP TIP Living close to university has its benefits, but you usually pay for it with high rents. Chorlton has solid feedback and satisfaction levels from our students (60%), but offers great value for money with average weekly rents of just £55, with excellent MetroLink & bus service links to the city.
