University of Manchester Accommodation

In need of UoM accommodation for your second or third year? You’re spoilt for choice! With student housing stretching as far as the eye can see in Manchester, you’ll never be short of options when it comes to finding next year’s home-away-from-home.

If you’re after somewhere right on the uni’s doorstep, Victoria Park is the place for you. Located just around the corner from UoM’s main Oxford Road Campus, Victoria Park is also home to some of Manchester Uni’s first-year halls, so you know you’re never far from the student action here.

Nearby Rusholme is also a popular neighbourhood amongst students, mainly thanks to the amazing food scene in this area. Seriously – Wilmslow Road’s ‘Curry Mile’ is heaven for anyone and everyone who loves South Asian and Middle Eastern food, and with so many restaurants and cafés serving delicious but affordable dishes, it’s safe to say that this area is student (and bank) friendly.

Fallowfield is by far the most popular place to look for Manchester student homes and flats, with four times more people using the UniHomes website to look for student accommodation in Fallowfield than in the next most-popular suburb (Withington).

More interested in where the nearest club is? Manchester city centre is only a short walk away from UoM’s main Oxford Road site, so you can easily head out to the Northern Quarter or the Gay Village whenever you’re in need of an energetic night out (as a study break, of course). But if you are a ‘stumble to bed with a late-night kebab’ kind of person, maybe you should think about looking for a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom student flat in Manchester city centre – think of all the money you’ll save on Ubers if you can walk home in under five minutes from a night out.

Of course, there’s way more to the city centre than bars and clubs. There are shopping opportunities galore thanks to the Arndale Centre, whilst indie retailers can be found around every corner – from a Lucy & Yak store to the Afflecks marketplace, there’s so much for you to explore. And that’s not even counting the hundreds of cafés and restaurants that make up the city centre. With a sweet treat opportunity on every street, you’ll never be bored as a University of Manchester student in the city centre.
