Son looking to choose Manchester Metropolitan University.

Studying up on the 3 Ps? - Pills, Pot and Pussy. He'll be fine!

We have visited once and are back for a 2nd visit at the end of November as my son has this University down as his favourite choice so far.

He would be based around the Brooks building and in student accommodation nearby for the 1st year.

Is anyone able to give me some advice on the area around it (is it classed as Hulme?)

We are at the game against Southampton this weekend and plan to park up and have a good look around, just sussing out transport in and out of the city, and what the surrounding area is like.

I’m sure the student’s union will provide loads of info but I just hoped asking on an actual Manchester forum might give me better feedback. (ANY comments welcome, just thought first hand experience might be better)

I was around there the other day. Buzzing with students and locals all the time which makes it a pretty safe area.

Thanks to everyone who replied, it's been a big help. Especially in assuring the wife he's not moving to an inner city cesspit. Strangely she's more worried if he chooses the Birmingham City university than Manchester. Had a good walk around the other week when we came to the Southampton game, and his second open day is this Saturday. It finishes mid afternoon and we are planning to visit the City shop when the game is on, to pick up an order. Does anyone have a good recommendation where we might watch the game either in the MMU area or near the ground?
