Welcome Juho! Manchester is a fantastic city to live in as a student, having the highest population of students in the UK and a city often described as a more compact and friendly London. Do you know where you'll be living yet, halls I guess? Thanks for joining and be sure to stick about! You'll learn alot about the city and student life here, any questions just fire away.
