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.“We work with a number of schools in Manchester, all of which accept absolute beginners, but please note the possible start dates, as these students can usually only start their course on certain dates. You can find this information in the profiles of the different schools.
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.”Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Aug 08, 2024I am looking for an English programme for my 10-year-old daughter. We don't need accommodation. Do you have any options?“In the summer, Britannia English Academy offers a junior programme for students from 7 to 17 years old. It's possible to book English lessons only or the combination of English lessons with social activities.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 21, 2023I am unable to attend 2 consecutive weeks. Would it be possible to attend 2 weeks but not in a row?“You are very welcome to book 2 one week courses, however please note that you might not be placed in the same group the second week as they might have advanced too much during the week you will not join them.

- Do you also take care of the flight from Italy?“We do not take care of flight bookings, but we will be happy to recommend good options for travelling. Schools organise return airport transfers on request. ”Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jan 15, 2025I would like to book a summer course for my 14-year-old daughter in Warrington, Manchester or Liverpool with homestay accommodation for a week from mid-August.“It is an excellent choice to have your daughter participate in a junior programme: it will be a very formative experience and certainly enriching in many respects, first and foremost for learning English! Please note that many summer programmes end in the first week of August. At the time of writing (2024), however, we can offer you an excellent school in Manchester, Britannia English Academy, which offers junior programmes throughout August. ”Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 01, 2024
