'I love how Manchester Metropolitan have added new innovating buildings to the university – these are state-of-the-art. I really like how the university is near the city centre and that most of the buildings and accommodation are close together, maintaining a campus-like feel within a city. The courses offered at Man Met are varied, with very interesting units to study and there are a wide variety of social activities available to students.'
