Looking for anyone who knows Manchester University or has dcs there to tell me what it is really like. DS and I went to the open day on Saturday. We know the city already as live fairly near, and expected to like the university but were unimpressed. There seemed to be a lot of corporate gloss and PR-speak from staff, but the campus, residences, study centre, library, sports facilities, etc all seemed a bit inadequate for a huge university despite all the talk about massive investment. Maybe we looked at the wrong things or got a misleading impression.I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions. (Name changed on request of ds).
