| hi late reply but i figured I could help a little on the subject. I'm english and have got a place to start at Manchester in september (after a gap year). Although the university is not in the same league as oxbridge, LSE etc. it still has a really good reputation in the UK and apparently well received with employers.
On a more superficial note it's the most popular university amongst students themselves and manchester on the whole is just a great city to be in, best outside London at least.
Just to touch on previous posts, yes it is very rainy but i'm sure everyone's aware of the British weather stereotype, on the other hand it's brilliant for nights out, shopping and football (i'm biased but you must have heard of man united?). Whatever you're looking for though I don't think you'll be dissapointed! (and no i'm not a member of manchester's tourist board) |
