Is Manchester a good place to study and work?
My spouse and me plan to move to manchester (UK) next year.
My spouse will study for PHD at the university of manchester and I will work (I am a programmer – Oracle Apps Dba).
Is it a good place to live, study and work?
Where is a good and safe place to live in manchester with good transportation link to university?
Thanks in advance!
Manchester’s a great place to study and work. I was a student there for 4 years. There’s lots of diversity and culture. You want to stay away from Moss Side and the area around there. Otherwise, it’s as safe or dangerous as anywhere else. I lived in Didsbury which is pretty quiet and cilvised but also a bit more expensive than some other places, Withington is ok too and is a bit nearer the uni.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy your time there. I did.

LikeDislikeYes! Manchester is a great place to live. There are some rough bits – avoid Moss Side, Wythenshaw and Longsight, but also some nice areas like Chorlton, Didsbury. Prestwich in the north is also good and quiet (and near the tram line)
But yes, I lived in Manchester for three years and loved it – there are loads of nice places in town to go, and plenty of cultural attractions such as the Cornerhouse, The Lowry, the Museum of Science & Industry and festivals such as the upcoming International Festival taking place as well.
Plenty of decent IT jobs going as well, especially in all the new businesses round the Salford Quays redveloped area.
