Place yourself at the epicentre of Manchester life, close to the imposing Museum of Science and Industry and the bustling restaurants of Chinatown. Look out for Manchester’s best kept secret, Ho’s Bakery, to try their legendary roast pork bun. Cycle down the Rochdale Canal Towpath, a picturesque stretch of waterfront that takes you all the way to the South Pennine hills. By night, meet friends at Sakura, Deansgate Locks, to enjoy a cocktail among the exposed brickwork of the converted train station.

Living at the impressive-looking Vita Student First Street, you’ll be able to walk to Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester in less than 15 minutes. Grab a bike from the free cycle hire and pedal to the student quarter bars and restaurants on Oxford Road or to the great shopping in the Northern Quarter in around five minutes.

On your way home from lectures, pitstop at Gorilla, an industrially chic bar and eatery. Located under the railway arches, its huge burgers and an all-day breakfast menu make it a student favourite.

When you get home, relax in your boutique-style studio, complete with wooden floors, a modern desk space, comfy double bed and a shiny ensuite. When friends come to visit, cook them dinner in your high-gloss kitchen and take them to the stylish common room to unwind.

Relax on the designer sofas in front of the huge flat screen TV or work on a group assignment in the communal study areas. When you want some personal time, workout in the on-site gym or head back to your studio to catch up on your favourite shows on your own TV.

Completely safe and secure with 24/7 security, Vita Student also has a free monthly cleaning service. You can even pick up a free grab and go breakfast on your way out the door! With 250MB Wi-Fi, TV license, bills and contents insurance included in the price, living at Vita Student First Street is hassle-free.
