Manchester ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Manchester
What our students said about Manchester
Manchester is a nice city. You're able to visit many attractions on foot and the public transport is an additional benefit which works very well. In my opinion, generally the city is too dirty. There are too many homeless people which is terrible to see if you are not used to it and not familiar with this situation. The nightlife also has two faces. There are many locations to have fun and enjoy the nightlife, but there are also many drunk people who are argumentative. If you see the bigger picture of Manchester, it’s a city worth visiting.
Manchester has become my new favourite city! There is so much to discover and you experience something new every day. The city is perfectly located and it is very easy to discover other big cities by bus and train.
Beautiful city! Lots to see. I was delighted and surprised that entrances to museums and exhibitions are free :)
A pretty, lively city with lots of shops. Certainly not as pretty as London, but pleasant
A nice city to study English in (better if you go in summer though)

Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in Manchester
I am interested in looking for a school where I can learn English from scratch, and if possible, I would like to see if you have accommodation.
The schools we work with offer a wide range of accommodation (host families, single or shared rooms in flats or residences, etc.). Homestay is the most recommended option for a true language immersion experience, and if you also take into account that, in most cases, half board or full board is also included, you will have the opportunity to continue practising the language around the dinner table, and you will learn much more about the local culture and traditions.”
I am looking for an English programme for my 10-year-old daughter. We don't need accommodation. Do you have any options?
I am unable to attend 2 consecutive weeks. Would it be possible to attend 2 weeks but not in a row?
