Living at home

Many students choose to live at home while studying at Manchester.

If you decide to live at home while you study, you’ll still have plenty of opportunities to get involved in student life.

The University and Students’ Union both run tailored support services for those living off-campus, including:

  • Commuters Society;
  • Commuter cafes;
  • Commuter student spaces (with access to lockers, multi-faith prayer rooms, kitchens and shower facilities);
  • transport buddy system;
  • day trips and networking events.

We'll help you get the most out of your time at Manchester, and make sure you have the same opportunities to socialise with other students as those living on campus.
