Say Hello

Hello Manchester folk.
I'm starting my PGCE in September so going to be looking for somewhere to live (ideally a studio/bedsit without shared bathroom/kitchen), have you any suggestions on: 1. where is cheap; 2. where to search for flats; 3. if there are any decent estate agents.
Looking forward to meeting a few of you & I may even give this polo a go...

If you're of a regular student ish age, then Withington and Fallowfield in South Mcr are the popular student areas for living.

If you're a bit older and don't really wanna doss around with kids, you could look at Chorlton, Whalley Range, West Didsbury and maybe Hulme. I'd take a day or two and visit the areas (as opposed to do it all online) then you can find the estate agents, but also you can find private landlords from ads in shop windows etc if you're lucky.
