Manchester is a big city with a lot of things to do, but it’s still smaller than, for example, London. This can be a good thing for students in many ways. The city is more compact in size, making the city centre more walkable and getting around the city easier. Another positive is the rental market. Where it can be very difficult to find reasonably priced student accommodation in the very biggest student cities in the world like London, in Manchester it’s still possible to find good options that aren’t super expensive. In this post we’ve listed some of the most popular options we offer for cheap student accommodation in Manchester.
