Student Living at Manchester Met
What university accommodation will look like.
The study experience at Manchester Met
If your child is moving away from home, you will need to look at the different accommodation available and the costs.
Manchester Met offers a wide choice of rooms, with everything from the latest environmentally sustainable eco-townhouses, to en-suite flat shares and more budget-friendly rooms. The majority of our student accommodation is located on or near campus and come fully equipped with Wi-Fi, inclusive bills, contents insurance, study space, social areas and more.
We understand that as a parent or guardian you may worry, so for extra peace of mind, all halls have 24-hour security and a residential life team to provide support. We have 11 University student residences. There is also a lot of private student accommodation in Manchester.
If their cooking ability is almost non-existent, maybe suggest they lend a hand in the kitchen before departure. It won’t take long before they have a signature dish they can knock up, and a little bit of pasta goes an awful long way.

LIVING HERE
We guarantee to make an offer of University-approved accommodation to all full-time undergraduate students studying at Manchester Metropolitan University for the first time, providing they register by the deadline. Priority is given to disabled students.
Students with unconditional or firm conditional offers can apply for accommodation upon receiving their offers. Students applying through clearing will still have the chance to apply for accommodation.
MOVING IN
Moving in is an exciting and hectic time. Being well prepared can help avoid any added stress. You can help to make sure they bring the essentials, as well as things that will help make the university experience more comfortable. Don’t forget things like hangers and cleaning materials.
What to bring will vary slightly depending on which accommodation your child will be living in. Typically, they will need to bring things like bedding, towels, cooking utensils, and cutlery. Furniture and appliances are provided.
This is a big change for you as well. Your house might be quieter or if they are commuting, there will be a change in routine, which might take you a while to adapt. If you are worried, talk to others whose children have gone to university. And, think about what you’d like to do with your extra time – perhaps taking up a hobby or spending more time with friends and other family members.
Health and wellbeing
We understand that the physical and mental wellbeing of our students is crucial to a positive university experience. That’s why we provide a range of services to support students, from free sports activities to promote a healthy lifestyle and help meet new people, to free counselling and crisis support should your child ever need it.
