      I had absolutely no experience in dance or cheer or gymnastics! All I did was work really hard in the freshers sessions and had specific workouts/stretches I did to prepare for tryouts, if you want a video specifically about how to join cheer at uni I'd be happy to make one! There were a couple of other people that were beginners, but because it's quite competitive you do need to stand out to make the team especially at Manchester xx

    Do you know where medical students tend to live for accommodation? I like the social aspect of fallowfield but I feel like it would he way too loud when I need to study. I also think city accommodation is closer to facilities like the library etc but then doesn't have the same social aspect as fallowfield ☹

    • @ShairaBerg
      @ShairaBerg  3 года назад +1

      To be honest there were a lot of medical students in fallowfield, I think if you choose a slightly less 'full on' accommodation fallowfield could still be a good choice.

    Furthermore, I have anxiety so I prefer not to be in an acom full of kids doing drugs, but I do like to be around decent people, so would Dalton-Ellis hall in Victoria Park be alright for me?

      There's lots of people from different backgrounds and cultures at Manchester, my friend group from uni is very mixed! I'd say it's very diverse and there's also no discrimination at all (that I know of through my friends).
