The city tour was a great touch and introduced me to the healthy ways of living in Manchester as well as getting me closer to the other student that had just arrived. We ended up spending a lot of time together.

City/place
I very much recommend downloading an audiobook or some music and then just walk the streets. The canal at the school is a small dirty thing but if you walk alongside it to the west (downstream) you'll find some cute scenery, with a slightly wider canal, nice places to eat, and overall nicer places to walk around. Also, make sure to always bring an umbrella.
Accommodation
If you want to Cook noodles you should make sure you have enough water in the pot, you may also wish to stir it once or twice so it doesn't get burnt & stick to the bottom of the pan.

I paid for 15 lessons but first day we wrote a test and went for a walk around the city, I didn´t get any lesson. And on Thursday we went for another walk - why? I came to learn English, not walk around the town twice a week.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
30h/week have lessons in the morning and in the afternoon, even if it doesn't leave you with a lot of free time to visit the city, it's worth it as groups in afternoon lessons are even smaller than in mornings.
Other comments
Due to students English level, the higher English level was upper-intermediate, if you are looking for some advanced level classes you may ask if any advanced class is open.
