Fallowfield

Student south - Owens Park, cheap pints and a 24-hour Sainsbury's.

Fallowfield

Fallowfield is Manchester's classic student belt, shaped by halls, house shares, takeaways and the Wilmslow Road bus corridor. It is built around convenience as much as nightlife.

Platt Fields gives the area its green space, while the bars and food spots serve term-time crowds. It is cheap, busy and very much tied to the university calendar.
