Despite my initial reservations regarding attending this university for my MSc, after attending the University of Manchester for my undergraduate, I now never want to leave. I had heard whispers about what sort of university it was and previously attending the University of Manchester did not help. They had prided themselves on being a Russel Group and not much else which meant that students were left unsupported with judgemental staff. This was a stark contrast I immediately noticed when I started at Manchester Metropolitan University in September of 2021. The staff there feel more on your level and less as though they are looking down their nose at you. They are always there for you to go to and offer unwavering support and guidance. I enjoyed this university so much that I am looking towards doing a PhD here, just so I can remain in the safe arms of MMU.
