Housing

Student housing is when the student rents a basement or a apartment and share it with some student but this means that they would have to provide themselves with own food and if its on campus accommodation means that your school is providing everything and they would give you food but some say this is more expensive than just renting your own basement or an a apartment.

If you want Manchesters accommodation then you have to pay for the insurance as well as the water bill and electricity all these would be included in your fees. And the price depends on how big the house or like the location is if its near the campus its probably more expensive than probably that could be a few miles away from the campus.

Extra Info

All the payment would go through the bank so they would pick up the money probably at the end of the month or maybe you want to pay for the full year at once and there are due dates youre your supposed to pay the fees and the payment has to be on time cant be late.

Criteria Location Requirements Positives Vancouver Your GPA average should be 82%. If you study hard you should be able to get this average. 28,154.06 per year for Canadian citizens.

I think all courses should be fulltime because the students can finish faster or a least we should have a choice of if we want to do part time or fulltime That the houses are closer to the campus Negatives Might be far for some students A negative thing is that why do you have to have a 3 years if undergraduate The fees is way too much.

Admission Deadlines

They should let us apply more than once a year If I am going to school full time how will I be able to work part time. It is going to be hard.

Summary of Program

Housing

Level of degree and length of program

I will have a Law degree.

But if the houses are closer to the campus then that mean the price is going to be higher than what u can find own your own I think the students should get a little bit cheaper then what price they offer The amount of years it takes to get this degree I think is a lot.

Name of Institution: The University of Manchester Criteria Location Positives The University of Manchester Oxford Road Negatives Its not in the city and it might be hard for some students to come to the campus because they might live in the city and not on the campus This could be a problem for some students that have an average of Bs I think the fees is too much for part time students and full time students They should let us apply more than once a year I think the credits should be less because the students might not have enough time or they probably didnt get a chance to get all those credits I think we shouldnt have to pay so much for the housing because the students are already paying a lot for their class and courses and books. I think the government should be paying for the housing for all the students.
