Study abroad accommodation

Students studying abroad in Manchester for a year are guaranteed a room in Manchester accommodation. Students coming for one semester only are not guaranteed a room, but under normal circumstances are usually allocated one.
The University offers you a wide range of residential accommodation, ranging from modern self-catering apartments through to traditional collegiate-style halls of residence with meal plans. All students are given their own room with many facilities available including en-suite bathrooms. Many rooms also have inernet connections.
Your residence is the place where you will meet new friends and spend a lot of your free time. They are self-contained communities with their own bars, common rooms and a hectic programme of social activities.  Additionally, halls of residence have their own sports teams - rugby, hockey, cricket, netball and squash are just some of the sports available - and some have other social groups in-house - orchestras, choirs, drama and other societies.
 BUT applications for University accommodation should be submitted to the Study Abroad Unit together with all other application materials.

• Security guards man campus entrances and patrol hall grounds 24 hours a day
