I lived at Moss Court in my second year of university and I loved it there. The flats themselves are spacious and have plenty of storage, and washing machines in your kitchen so you don't have to worry about laundrettes, it has lifted on the inside and balconies on the outside of the upper floors and was cheaper than most other places I considered. The location itself is a great place, a 5-minute walk to an array of shops (including Spoons!) and a lovely park just across the road. Universities are easily within walking distance but if you prefer the bus you have access to so many different buses down the main road you'll never be waiting more than a few minutes, or the 111/15 stop is just across the road. The very few issues I did have here were all dealt with in a timely manner and the manager on the main desk is very helpful and kind. If you are considering living here I would definitely encourage you to do so.

A home away from home. Lived in Moss Court last year, and although I did not have a lot of expectations coming in due to the price, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it became my home. This is primarily a result of the accommodating and hospitable staff, who always made us feel comfortable and were always open to feedback. The team did their best to make Moss Court as homey as possible. If you’re looking for a place to call your home without splurging an absurd amount of money (especially in this economy), then Moss Court is for you. This is a call out to international students, especially my Canadian lovelies; you won’t regret booking with Moss Court!

Best student accommodation, close to The University of Manchester and affordable (Cost-Benefit is 10/10). The flats are well-equipped, and the rooms are spacious. Each flat has its washing machine, so you don't have to pay extra for laundry. Also, I have enough space to keep enough food because two fridges allow everyone to keep their food fresh. The management is really responsible and supportive. If I have any issues, just an email is enough for them to fix them. For example, when I arrived, I asked the manager if they could change the carpet in my room because it was old and dirty, and the manager accepted my request and changed it a week after. The location is the best! Whitworth Park and the art gallery are in front of Moss Court, Poundland, Tesco, and Lidl are a 5-minute walk, and the Curry mile is just a 3-minute walk. You will have enough restaurants with a great variety and almost 5 bus routes to the city centre. I will recommend it as a good option for any international student :)

This is definitely one of the better accommodations I’ve stayed in in the past few years. There’s a full working kitchen, which works out well as I like to cook. The others in my cluster really appreciate my cooking too! This is right near the university and some shops. My room actually looks over the park, so the view is good too. I don’t have a car, but this is really close to a bunch of things and right by a bus stop. The employees are super friendly. I’m definitely going to stay here next year.
