the REALITY of the student life at university (University of Manchester)

- It's been almost two months since I moved to the U.K and it has been a crazy experience. I gathered some of the videos I filmed randomly in the past weeks and decided to compile them to show how much you can do in 5 weeks. I thought it was important to reflect on how hard and overwhelming university can be for some people- like it has been for me. At some point, I was really down and I got through it. I ended up doing incredible things after, so keep your head up because the only way out is through.
Clarification: point number 7 has two parts, mental and physical. They complement each other. That's why I didn't separate it.

i just got accepted to manchesterrr and started to watch all youtube vids relating to this uni lmaoo
Omggg congratulations!!
same here haha
Me too what are you studying
@@lucanatlas I’m doing pharmacy wbu
I just got accepted too! I’m nervous because I’ll be 24 just after classes start and am trying to get over there from America. My visa alone is over $18k and tuition is insanely high but it’s my dream school! 😅 trying to make it happen.
ahhh!!! uni of manchester is my dream uni, and i randomly looked up uni of manchester on youtube, and oh my god your videos are amazing!!!! i'm so happy i discovered you! 💛
I am so happy to know that!! I hope you get in Manchester. It’s amazing and you will love it 🤞🏻
As someone who is applying to study in the UK and Manchester specifically (and still debating that choice) - thank you so much, this is incredibly useful!
I am so glad! If you ever need any help or have specific questions hmu 😊
Literally my dream uni is Manchester and then to work in the children’s hospital ❤️
That’s great! I hope you achieve it.
I received a conditional offer from the University of Manchester and your videos are really helping me to decide between it and other universities thank you.
Thank you!
Wow, i could've not had more goosebumps because of an intro ;')
Thank you!
As someone from manny, I’m proud to say that we love our city
I just got into the University of Manchester for Law i am so EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
Massive congratulations!!
Was it exciting?
I'm an Indonesian and I was offered a conditional acceptance for a foundation programme at the University of Manchester and your video is really inspiring. To think that I am going to have to move to a different continent with different cultures and language at the other end of the world is truly terrifying, especially when your future is still very much undecided (I still need to meet a certain criteria to be able to progress to the university since I need to take A Levels). But your video is truly inspiring and you just made my heart truly set on doing this
I am glad to know that! It’s going to be an adventure. It’s a journey with up’s and down’s but very special and with lots of opportunities. I wish you all the best!
Wow the colour grading looks sooooooooooooper good 🎇🤩
Thank you!!
Love this video, it's so real!
Thank you!!
just got accepted to manchester! can't wait
Congratulations!!!
Celina Sousa thankss!!
I’m studying at university of Manchester for an exchange program in the spring of 2020. What dorms do you recommend and what locations are the best for living?
Hey! I hope you love Manchester. You have some halls in the city centre which are excellent. Denmark road is really lovely but the social life is not that great. In general in the city centre people are more focused on studies. I would say the perfect place is Victoria Park, Hulme Hall, St. Anselm and Dalton Ellis are very nice. Specially, hulme hall. Then in fallowfield everything is crazy. Super sociable, except for Ashburne (which is also nice). The best hall in fallowfield is the new one, which actually looks like a hotel. It's Unsworth. After that one, the best ones are Woolton hall, Richmond park and ashburne hall
@@Celinassousa Is Victoria Park generally nice or are there any that you wouldn't recommend at all? Cause the ones you mentioned are all catered but what about the self-catered ones? Thanks for this answer though, as an international student it's so difficult to get a hold on which ones are recommendable if you can't go over to check them out :)
Anna KH I understand! Burkhardt is good, I know people there and because they share facilities with Hulme Hall it can be social as well. I don't know anyone staying in Liberty Point but it looks really good. However, I don't know how social it is. I don't know Canterbury but some friends of mine checked it out because they were thinking about moving there and they didn't like it. Some people don't like the texture of the walls because they kind of look like ”prison walls” (but some people don't mind them at all!)
@@Celinassousa Okay, thanks a lot! I will for sure keep your advice in mind, your videos have been so helpful and well made already :)
@@Celinassousa Okay, one more question (sorry to bother you but I literally don't know anyone from Manchester, I hope you don't mind): Do you know anything about the less expensive ones on City Campus like Whitworth Park or Wright Robinson? Or would you generally recommend taking a cheaper one or better to invest but have no issues? Cause I don't have that much money but people keep complaining about the cheaper ones (f.e. that Burkhardt has issues with mice and such). Thanks a lot again!
Superb video quality. Gotta give it to ya
Thank you!
I'm starting a masters degree at manchester university in October :3
That's great! Congratulations 🥳
@@Celinassousa thank you! I might see you there after all this madness!
Hi! I’m from Spain. Last week I got an offer for Management (International business economics). I’m so excited!! I hope that I will go there next year ✈️💕
Celia López me too!!!!!
You are going to love it! Manchester has such a great community. The university is amazing. Work hard and good luck 🤞🏻✨
Congratulations!!
Great!! Which course?
Celia López me too! I got an offer for international business
this video is amazing, tysm
knew i recognised you! i went to the law dinner too :)))
Oh hi!! 🥳
I've just firmed UoM for EdPsych so hopefully starting this September...! This video was really interesting & helpful, thank you! I have subscribed
Congratulations 🥳🥳 thank you so much for the feedback! 💗
Hi currently all universities are in a lockdown, how are you studying there?
Jason Teoh We are doing online classes
Hi! sounds like we'll be on the same course! See you at Manchester!
Just seen your comment above - I’m doing BSc not masters, but will maybe bump in to you at some point!☺️
this was so so useful!! 💗
thank you!! I am glad you liked it ❤️
Thank you sm for this video
Thank you for watching it! I am glad you enjoyed it ⚡️😌
Damn this rly put things in to perspective
Thank you!
Your room is cool!!
Thank you! I have a video showing it in detail 😌
I was like looking at something else then saw the you got in to university of Manchester screen and almost died. I thought I got into uni.
Wonderful video! If everything will go well I' ll be at Manchestester uni this autumn as an undergraduate. Do you know which halls are more convenient and close to the campus?
That’s great!! Congratulations! Hopefully, we will all be there. Regarding the halls, if what’s more important to you is being close to campus than Victoria park or city campus are the best. For halls you have 3 areas (Victoria; city; Fallowfield) Victoria is closer to main campus (humanities, social sciences, med school). City campus is closer to north campus (sciences). It varies! Some courses have lectures in both campuses. So either city campus or Victoria will be close to campus!
@@Celinassousa thank you!
Hoping all goes well for you!!! X
hey i just received a conditional offer from U Manchester today, which requires my IB scores from me...after watching your video i kinda wanna go there lol!
That’s great! Try coming here on an open day, if you are able to. It’s an excellent opportunity to get an insight into what this student life really is like
Hii I love your channel!!🧚♂️✨❤️💝💕💖 Even I’m intending to do law. I’m not able to choose among uni of Manchester, Bristol and Durham. What would your unbiased choice be? 😊
I have heard Bristol is amazing for law!! Although our law teaching staff at Manchester are amazing, experts in their fields! Their research is amazing. I don’t know much about law at Durham but I have heard Durham is amazing overall.
I would say it’s definitely between Bristol or Manchester! Think about what matters the most to you. Is it the teachers? The campus? The extra curricular opportunities?
I would say the only down side of Manchester for law is that we don’t have a proper law library just for us, but that’s fine!
Looooooveddd it🤩🤩
YES! 🤩💘
I plan on applying for the art and design foundation year, I can’t find a lot of information about it. Do you know if it’s hard to get accepted into?
I don’t have that information but try emailing the admissions office. Their email is on the university’s website ☺️
idk if you still need this but the university itself does not have a foundation program except for Math and Engineering. But they do partner with others like INTO Manchester (this is the most famous foundation program to progress to University of Manchester). I'm going to INTO Manchester September this year and if you applied and got accepted to the foundation year, you'll also get a conditional acceptance to the university (with the condition which is you need to meet the grades required)
wandereality this is really good advice!
wandereality I used to be an INTO Manchester student however I am a UoM freshman now !! I would like to give you an advice to achieve A* in your class at INTO. STUDY THE PAST PAPERS!!!! IT HELPS A LOT.
@@Ibnalkhail ممكن اسالك كم سؤال if you don’t mind?
I am from India and I have applied to UoM for my masters. But I keep hearing about racism in the University, which makes me reconsider my decision to come and study there. Could you tell me what exactly is the case on campus and in the city? Thank you.
Hi! I am glad you considered Manchester for your masters.
I have never witnessed racism here. I don't think Manchester is a racist city. It's extraordinarily multicultural, and the university respects that a lot (and promotes it!). There are many inclusion events, and all ethnicities are respected. If some particular cases happened, I am not aware of them, but I don't think it's common.
@@Celinassousa Thank you! I hope Manchester is good as you describe it to be.
Which course have u applied for?
Manchester is full of south asians (Pakistanis / Indians etc) I would say that there are more people of colour than those who are white who study at the University of Manchester. It’s diverse so I don’t think there would be racism especially having family who are Pakistani attending the university having no issues.
You only need to worry about racism if at all at the 2 ancient elite unis in the UK, and no guesses where! 😂
I’m Korean and applying to study Computer Science of this university. But I heard that majority of students here are Chinese. I know that in Business School more than 80% of students are Chinese. That’s awful. So I’m wondering is the situation same in the department of Computer Science. ( Please reply to me, thank you! )
I am not getting your point. Why is the fact that 80% of the business school students are Chinese something ”awful”? The University of Manchester is an international and diverse university. I do know we have a high number of Chinese students. I don't know the percentage and I think all nationalities are welcome.
@@Celinassousa I want to make friends with students from different countries, not a single one. If 80% percent of students are Chinese, then I no longer have much opportunities to know about other countries. I absolutely don’t discriminate Chinese students. Actually I have Chinese blood. I just want to know different kinds of people, not one single kind. And also, if I study in Britain, I think I should pay more attention to know about British students. If I only know a few British students, then that’s absolutely weird.
@@아나킨스카이워커-f3u I understand your point about having a varied network. I'd recommend signing up with societies of interest and actively reaching out to others who aren't from your country.
Like all things, we have to be intentional.
If your programme incorporates group projects in its assessment style, that's an opportunity to have a varied team. Currently, my programme (PGT) is made up of about 92% Chinese students. 🙂
Good luck!
@@ifeomanwulu741 Thank you for your reply. That’s helpful. Is PGT means Postgraduate Teachers? (Sorry, I’m not quite familiar with British educational system.) But I’m going to be an undergraduate student next year, not a postgraduate student. Do you know anything about undergraduate students in the University of Manchester? I’m applying to become an undergraduate student majors in Computer Science in the University of Manchester now. I’d be rather grateful if you can tell me something about it. Thank you so much!
hey i just wanted to ask that if the deadline is jan 15, and i applied on january 2. so when am i likely to receive my offer? which month?
I'm studying in Saint Petersburg University and it's funny that my university use your video on English Language Course
Omg I have quoting this comment for 2 weeks now! This is insane to me 😭
Hey nice video first of all ,secondly can you provide some details about Md medicine course which is offered in the university you study?! It would be much helpful as i am planing to join this fall 2020 September intake!! Thanks in advance!
What do you think of the current situation with the occupance of the flat?
I'm applying to Manchester for UG Law. Any particular advice?
Focus on why you want to study law and the skills that you have that are transferable to the degree!
Is there any nuclear engineering MENG Hons courses here
hhhhhh find you! I live in Birley in Hulme hall. Sometimes when I pass through Greenwood, I would be attracted by your wallpaper and lights. emmmm, highlighting point! I am not a voyeur hhh, just cos others wall are usually empty, so your wallpaper is especially attracted.
Ahahaha I always felt like I was being watched all the time 👀👀 Awww thank you!! I already miss hulme Hall 😭
Celina Sousa I miss humor hall toooo😭,but under COVID-19 situation， I have to go back to my own country🤣🤣 and I feel like I have not experienced the semester2 yet😅
I miss hulme hall...., wrong typing
I’m going to hulme next week
I’m really worried because I wanted en-suit how is the bathroom arrangement there? How many people share how often & well are they clean? Is the food any good? Overall opinion 😖
I'd like to apply for business and german, do you know if they will interview me ?
I am not sure but I think so. Send an email to the admissions office asking that, they will be happy to help you!
Please can you help me, what are the progression rates after INTO Manchester Foundation program? Do you have classmates who progressed through foundation? Thank you in advance
Hello! I would love to be able to help you but I don’t know anyone who did the INTO Manchester Foundation program. But I know people who did a foundation year and then progressed normally into their first year 😊
I could help you as a former INTO student and now I am a freshman EEE student at UoM. Contact me on my instagram (iijbf) as I can reply to you quickly
You remind me of myself when I used to ask the same question and I was terrified I won’t be accepted at UoM. Time repeat itself
Madam celina sousa i want to study msc advanced electrical power system engineering and it is my not only dream but my life from past 10 years because of family situation i couldn't but Allah may help me sure i have trust on him. I will do work hard and earn money from my industry to get admission. Could you tell me and help me how to get admission
Thanking you sir
I have my interview in two weeks, I am so stressed, what if they don't give me an offer? Great video btw ❤︎
Hopefully they will! Trust yourself and don’t forget to say why you want manchester. This university is really unique and has great values, that's what makes us different. Good luck 💗
What acommodation are you staying in? Would you recommend it?
Hulme Hall! I definitely recommend it but be aware that this year we had an issue with cleaning and people stealing food. It happens everywhere and it depends on your flat mates. Some people have no problems, others have a lot. I struggled a lot with it, people stole food with some frequency and the kitchen was often dirty. But overall I loved my experience in hulme Hall and the rooms are so modern!
I want to study MSc here in 2021 September intake. Can you guide me
Is law from the University of Manchester worthit?
does manchester uni have a psychology course
Yh www.manchester.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/2020/00653/bsc-psychology/
MoonlightTiger 14 thanks
Exactly..
It's hard!
What are your overall monthly expenses in Manchester?
Accommodation was around 770£ per month. The rest of my expenses were £150. I already had most of my meals included in my accommodation rent.
Hey! I just got an offer from Manchester from the same course as you and i was wondering if i could talk to you about the same as i have some questions! Do let me know if i can message you. Thanks xx
Of course you can! Congratulations 🥳 dm me in my Instagram @celinassousa
How is Manchester for Asian students...
Do uni of Manchester accept students at age of 17 ???
Yes!
Almost first 😂
Almost!! Maybe next time 🥳🤞🏻
Would u like to collab xx
I need advice on my personal statement how do I make it pop
I would say make sure that you show how much potential you have. Connect everything you have done and your skills to your degree. Show them much your subject excites you. That’s what they want to know: 1) you love your degree 2) you are the right person for your degree. I would avoid clichés but there is nothing wrong with putting a little flair. Start your personal statement with a very catchy phrase. Then make your personal statement well structured and end with a conclusion!
If you ever need help, I'm here for you, beautiful 😉
Whats societies??
You mean what societies you should join?
Are you british originaly
Portuguese!
Firsssssttttt
You are always first :(
You need to step up Stepan!!
