Piccadilly Point

Living at Piccadilly Point, your student accommodation will be just minutes from Manchester’s main train station, so you’ll be perfectly placed to experience the best that the city has to offer. Wander through the picturesque Piccadilly Gardens to the Arndale Food Market, where you’ll find everything from authentic Jamaican jerk chicken to freshly caught fish of the day. Afterwards, stroll to the neo-Gothic Town Hall and the imposing Central Library to admire the splendour of true Mancunian architecture. Wander through Chinatown on your way back home, and stop for dinner at Try Thai for a tasty green curry and Bangkok Fizz cocktail.

From Piccadilly Point, you’ll never be late for class as it’s just a 15-minute walk to both the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University. On sunny days, grab your bike from the secure storage and arrive in half the time. With Manchester Piccadilly station just three minutes’ walk away, you’ll find it easy to get around the rest of the city, or to leave town for a day trip at weekends.

But there’s no need to go far when there are cool venues like Gorilla a few minutes from home.  Try their famous eggs Benedict for brunch or stay late for a tipple from the bespoke gin parlour.  For a change of scenery, hop on a train to Salford Quays to take in an art exhibition at The Lowry followed by cocktails and live music at Corridor.

Back at Piccadilly Point, polish off your latest assignment at your purpose-built study desk, then head to the shared kitchen and living area to enjoy dinner with your new housemates. The fully equipped kitchen has a sleek breakfast bar and everything you need to cook in style or even host a dinner party. Later, retreat to your private bedroom and freshen up in your bright ensuite bathroom, before climbing into your comfy three-quarter sized bed for a good night’s sleep.

When you need to unwind, head to the common room to see who’s around, then challenge your mates to a game of pool, or watch TV with your friends. If you’re feeling energetic, work up a sweat in the on-site gym, then head outside for some fresh air and sunshine in the garden area.

With a key card entry system and on-site security, you and your belongings will be safe at Piccadilly Point. Free Wi-Fi, contents insurance and utility bills are included in the price, so you’ll rest easy knowing you won’t have to worry about any hidden costs eating away at  your student budget.
