Great place for socialising, but the student accommodation is in some of the less desirable parts, particularly Rusholme. We've barely heard from our daughter - although she's only been there 9 days so far! (plus a fortnight in September for Opportunity Oxford (an introductory period for kids from the wrong postcode, who went to a state school)). We can track her on the Live 360 app, which reassures us she is alive and safe, although equally concerns us when she is leaving pubs and nightclubs at 2.00am or later - which seems to most days so far!
