r/UoM

Hey friends! I’m a freshman at UoM, studying Engineering as an undergraduate. I’m a girl looking to make some girl friends here! Maybe we could go to welcome week together or hang out sometime! XD

I’m from Shanghai and I can speak English, Chinese and some French.

Some of my hobbies: music (Mostly R&B and dance pop, my favorite artists are Tate McRae, keshi, Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande), Formula 1(Ferrari), reading, sports(swimming, badminton, cycling and hiking), and I loveee animals!

Just DM me if you’re looking for new friends in UoM too! :)

Hello!

I have stupidly deleted the acceptance letter that I received, and I can't find it anywhere in my emails. I have my accommodation agreement and all that stuff.

Does anyone know who to contact about this?

Hey all, today I found a passport in Salford Quays and I want to try and reunite it with it's owner!

I took it to Stretford police station but they told me to destroy it/send it to the passport office, but I'd rather give it back to its rightful owner.

Passport name is Bilqees Adebukanla Balogun-Alli

Im going to be moving into halls pretty late(the 20th or 21st) and was wondering what the actual time frame is for moving in. Do you have to book a slot? Or can you show up anytime after the official move in date?
Thanks!

Hii I’m an upcoming MSc student and I’ve heard it’s difficult to make friends in postgrad unfortunately. I’ll be doing marketing btw!! But yeah, it’d be nice to talk to people that are not just freshers I feel old

Feel free to dm!

Hey everyone,

I’m an international student and had my place at UoM confirmed back in June. I'm starting to get a bit anxious about the timeline so I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss any information. When do we typically receive our student email details and info on paying tuition?

Could anyone let me know when the registration/admin process usually kicks off?

Hi, I'm due to start in September and I got my offer of accomodation to Weston Hall. However, recently I read a forum talking about the lack of safety for women in the hall, lack of privacy by maintenance workers and issues like rats and mould. Can anyone confirm this? And if its true, how would I go along to switching accomodation?

I’m starting at uom this september and I’ve been allocated Richmond Park.
Just wondering if anyone who’s lived there (or is there now) could share what it’s actually like?
How social is it? What kind of events/parties happen during freshers and throughout the year? Is it easy to meet people from other flats/halls? What are the flats and kitchens like and is there anything you wish you knew before moving in?
Also curious about the mix of home/international students and the general vibe compared with other Fallowfield halls.
Any tips for Richmond specifically or things I should bring/avoid bringing would be appreciated :)
Also would appreciate any group chats etc.

Hi! I was set to go to Warwick this year for history and politics…but have started having doubts and am wondering whether I should try and go to Manchester through clearing. I already live very close to Warwick and would have liked to move away, but chose it because it was my favourite course. I’m a lesbian and do like to go out (though not too frequently), and am just worried that I won’t get the university experience I’d get in bigger cities that have more queer spaces. Especially after looking at societies, as Manchester had a lot more options. That being said, I do really love Warwick’s course, and when I went to Manchester on the offer holder day I wasn’t entirely drawn to it
(it was initially my top choice, but the introductory session put me off/the uni itself seemed much larger than others).

Does anyone have any experience as a queer student at Warwick or vice versa? Would going to Manchester be equivalent prestige wise to Warwick? Just trying to get some more opinions.

Hi, I'am a reasercher, who is focusing on accelerated method of teaching Chinese. In just 10 lessons I can make you speak basic Chinese. Its free of charge.

hiii im coming to uom this upcoming sept to do biology. im hoping to connect with any bio related freshman as we might land in same mandatory classes !!!

p/s : i live in HOS private accom so if you also do, i want to connect toooo !!!

does anyone know when they will give out the CAS number, some of my friends have already recieved from their unis and im wondering when i will get mine

Just applied for accommodation and I lowkey regret having 2 of my options as non-en-suites , just wondering how likely it is that I end up getting those ones, is it completely based off of availability or will they prioritise en-suite options. Emailed Uni already and they told me to go on waitlist if i wanted change it.

Hi I got into Manchester university through clearing yesterday. I'm supper happy but now need to think about accommodation and know i will have to decide quickly. Can I have some advice please?

I'm not a social butterfly but would really like to make friends but I don't drink, so I think a quieter halls ith some social would suit me better.

I'd like to be fairly close to the uni. I'd like and en-quite but cost is an issue what are people's experience with shared?

I'm undecided on catered or self catered - thinking maybe catered is worth the extra cost and replaces weekly shopping?

Thanks for your help.

🏠** **Hi everyone! I’m looking for a female student to take over my tenancy for the 2026–27 academic year. You can move in immediately if you’d like!

💷 £160 per week

👩 All-girls house with 6 rooms in total.

📍 Upper West Grove, Manchester, M13 0BB

🎓 All housemates are second-year University of Manchester students

The girls are all my friends, and I can genuinely vouch for them. They are kind, helpful, generous, and very easy to get along with.
I’m moving out because I’ll be staying with a family member, so I’m looking for someone to take over my contract.
I’m not posting the exact house address publicly, but if you’re interested, please message me privately and I’ll send you all the details, including information about the house and tenancy.
Please feel free to message me if you’re interested or know someone who might be! 😊

Hi guys, i just got my accommodation and got whitworth park. Is anyone down to swap for anything with an en-suite. I’m willing to pay up to 200 pounds to swap. Thanks 🙏

26fall incoming, but really mind sharing bathrooms and living rooms with girls ( cuz it’ll be awkward and inconvenient, guess many people think so as well?).

How likely is the university of Manchester to reserve a space for me in case I get an extra mark?

I got 172 marks in a level maths and it is 173 for a B which was needed for my offer. I rang the MDAS line and the lady told me to fill a form and email the admissions team to explain. I just wanted to ask how likely they are to reserve a space for me if my remark is successful and I get my grade to make me meet my offer or will it be too late by the time it gets remarked?
