About Location

Proximity to Universities – Easy Access to Your Studies 

Manchester Student Village (MSV) puts you right where you need to be. With the University of Manchester and MMU both within easy walking distance, you’ll never have to worry about missing a lecture (unless you really sleep through your alarm). The RNCM is nearby too, making MSV a solid pick for music students. 

Whether it's morning classes or late-night library sessions, your campus is always close by — no buses, no stress. You’re really living in one of the best Manchester student accommodation you can find here! 

Local Amenities & Conveniences – Everything You Need at Your Fingertips 

Living at MSV means everyday essentials are basically downstairs. There's a handy convenience store right under the building for snacks, supplies, and last-minute top-ups. Hungry?

You've also got Courtyard — the iconic student pub — right on site. Great food, big screens, quiz nights, and a buzzing vibe all week long.
