MANCHESTER
city guide
HI! I’M DAVID, STUDYING TOWARDS
AN ENGLISH DEGREE AT MAN MET
AND I LIVE JUST OFF OXFORD ROAD
IN MANCHESTER. I come from down
south and chose Manchester because
it’s a huge, buzzing, student-friendly
city crammed full of interesting things
to do, great places to eat and drink,
a big arts scene and is located in the
friendly north!
NIGHTLIFE
by David Heffer
I love that Manchester is a melting pot
of diversity. It doesn’t matter where you
come from, the sport you play or which
team you support, who you pray to, what
type of music you like, the type of food
you most enjoy, or whether you like bars,
pubs or clubs because there is so much
choice here – everybody fit rights in!
You will soon become familiar with
Oxford Road, also known as the Student
Quarter. It is two miles long, stretching
down to the Curry Mile; and littered
with great venues. The Font is nestled
down an alley next to Oxford Rd station
– laid back & decorated in a funky style
that gives your eyes plenty to feast on;
cocktails start at just £2. Next door is
one of the five chilled New York-inspired
bars, Black Dog Ballroom, also offering
cheap drinks. Pop around the corner to

The social scene in Manchester is vast
and caters for everyone. There are a few
hubs in the city, which feature the best
places to head to for a night out.
