Every student will have their own motivation to why they chose to study here. The decision on where to undertake an undergraduate degree is a major milestone in life and, here, we wanted to collect our student opinions both from our home and international community on what their deciding factors were.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u2018\u2019When choosing a university, I personally visited all my application options for the purpose of gaining a realistic idea of what kind of institution I would be studying at.\u00a0When interacting with the staff, students, professors at The University of Manchester\u00a0as well as roaming around the city itself I had no doubts in my mind that it is the right place for me. It was the\u00a0qualifications of the academics, attention given to the students and the overall atmosphere on campus\u00a0that helped me choose Manchester.\u2019\u2019 Prior to coming to Manchester, I was afraid the city might be too overwhelming for\u00a0me, as\u00a0I was moving countries and I prefer smaller and more peaceful areas.\u00a0However, my\u00a0opinion changed completely upon moving to Manchester. Manchester is such a vibrant and captivating city and there has never been a dull moment\u00a0during my time living there. ”<\/p>\n

“Manchester is a vibrant,\u00a0multi-cultural city that is really thriving. Cultural venues like the cinema HOME or the Royal Exchange Theatre really appealed to me as a student from a small town in the North East. Moreover, as a musician and creative, Manchester\u2019s energetic music and arts scene has really helped me find a home alongside my studies.\u00a0From poetry zines to live music, independent theatre to massive musicals, there will be something for you.\u00a0Manchester is not just a place to study in, but a place to really grow in. It is a city full of history and diverse people that is eager to welcome you.”<\/p>\n

“I chose to study here because of the diversity of the University, but also the city as well. I grew up in a small city on the seafront and I wanted to change into a new world of big cities, good people and amazing attractions.\u00a0The best thing about the city of Manchester are the vast opportunities available in the city. Going from work\u00a0to\u00a0a\u00a0night\u00a0out, you can genuinely never get bored in\u00a0Manchester. Alone or even with a group of friends, there\u2019s always something to do, go to the park for some light reading or visit the old pubs at the heart of the city.”<\/p>\n

UK<\/h6>\n

\"\"“My interest in Criminology began at the age of 16 when my dad took me to a forensic investigation event at the science museum in London. The University of Manchester was always my aspirational\u00a0university. I had originally thought I would end up at another university because it was closer to home and the grade boundaries were\u00a0lower\u00a0but I was really attracted to the city of Manchester (coming from down South) and it\u2019s No.1 for Criminology so I really put in the work during my a-levels and it paid off!”\u00a0<\/p>\n
