The teachers here are friendly and helpful to all the children. Lots of activities to do such as painting,water tray,arts and crafts and a good playground outside for supervised play. Most children who I know went there enjoyed it, I went there myself! It is quite safe and secure in my opinion and the children are watched over constantly. The favourites seem to be singing and story reading.

Especially, in my course (tourism) there are just two students and therefore we get full attention of our tutors, which makes the university very personal. When I have any inquiries they help me or give advice. The most of the tutors are also very good and open-minded lecturers and deliver appropriate content with loads of enthusiasm. However, the university gets just four stars because not everything and all of them is/are perfect.

I can only speak for the music department, but we've had first play on everything from state of the art jamhubs, ukulele classes, African drumming with brand new djembes- not to mention the large work stations with new touch screen computers! The tutors are fantastic and are always on hand for advice and a shoulder to cry on when lessons go wrong! The cafe is fab if a little expensive, the canteen serves amazing street food, soups, main meals, breakfasts, sandwiches, drinks and cakes! Though the one downside to it is that it's too small! Every lunchtime there is a crush to pay and choose food- only bad point!

As you might have guessed from my Salford review, I'm something of a Salford University fan. And…read morewhile Manchester Metropolitan is still a great university, there's one word that comes to mind when I think about it. 'Fragmented'. I could be completely wrong, after all, it was a post-grad course I did here and they tend to be sectioned off somewhat from the rest of the crowd... hang on, I tell a lie. One of my best friends is currently doing her Masters at Salford and she feels part of the machine, so it goes to show, there can be differences. The fact that Manchester Met has so many campuses has a great deal to do with it, I think. The main campus is set across Oxford Road, which as we all know is one of Manchester's main party streets. Bars, clubs, pubs aplenty are dotted along the street, so your student accommodation would only be a stone's throw from someone being sick via too much sambuca. Depending on what kind of student you are, this can be a good thing or a bad thing. But there's more. While Oxford Road has a sense of community, some students are chucked far, far away on a campus entitled Crewe and Alsager. Have you ever passed Crewe on a train from Manchester to God-knows-where? I have. Many times. It takes a very long time. And I visited the Crewe campus. There is NOTHING there. Similarly campuses are scattered around Didsbury as well as other parts of Manchester... perhaps I feel like I've been spoiled with Salford and the fact that everything's within walking distance - in fact I know I have. I do admire Man Met's student union building, as it even has a rock club in it, and the Humanities department has a great mix of teachers. I adored my supervisors during my Masters, they were fabulous. However one of my best friends did make the mistake about talking about Man Met's 'not so great reputation' (the rumour that they'll let anyone in regardless of grades) on The Weakest Link, to which Anne Robinson raised an eyebrow and the Man Met head honchos chastised him greatly. So my conclusion would be, don't get drawn in by its central location and party atmosphere. Go there because you like the tutors and find a course that suits you. If you do, you have the potential to make good use of Manchester's student Mecca. Enjoy! (Just don't get stuck in Crewe, for the love of God. Unless you're into suburbs and trumpets.)

Futureworks is a leading media training facility in Manchester which offers courses in everything…read morefrom game design to sound recording. Futureworks offers short, fast-track and diploma courses as well as degree equivalent qualifications in a range of disciplines and technologies. The rates aren't the cheapest in town (you can get short courses in some of the same software and technologies cheaper at The Manchester College) but I think they're fairly priced and are worth the money. I've been here for one of their short editing courses and thought it was great. The staff were really attentive and didn't just shout out instructions as they do in some other training centres. They mixed lecturing and demonstration with hands-on practice and one to one discussions, which I found useful as I felt I was falling behind but was a bit embarrassed to ask for help. The centre itself is easy to find (just at the end of Oxford Road before the Central Library) and has state of the art facilties and equipment. The whole place is very shiney and modern and is so covered in buttons and gadgets it feels a bit like you're in the future...perhaps thats why the call it Futureworks....

The University of Manchester's Student Union is very mediocre and disappointingly so given the size…read moreof the student population. I assume the fact that so many people live in Fallowfield, where there is ample nightlife, has rendered the Union pretty much defunct as a venue for student nights whereas the antithesis is often found to be the case at other campus universities. The bar has been revamped and now resembles a burlesque-themed brothel. I've only been there once. Biko's café on the first floor is pretty good, get there early for a fried egg sandwich for a pound and there is a student market opposite which I used to run the occasional vintage stall at. It used to trade on a Tuesday but as this semester I have the first two days of the week free, I haven't been on campus to see whether it's still running. Despite being located in the dark and dingy Academy 2, the market is often worth a look in. There are very browse-worthy vintage and clothing stalls along with bicycles and second-hand books. Most things are priced very reasonably and you are able to barter which always makes shopping a little more rewarding.

This is also the building that hosts the Academy 2, 3 & Club Academy venues. Other than for gigs, you probably wouldn't want to come here if you aren't a student and you can't anyway. In the evening, you can only get in with a concert ticket or a student card.
