Fallowfield

Student central — the beating heart of Uni life

5.8

Overall

StudentLivelyAffordable
Best for: Students

Fallowfield is THE student neighbourhood. Owens Park halls, cheap pubs and takeaways on Wilmslow Road, and house parties every night of the week during term time. Not for everyone — it's loud, messy and empties out in summer — but for three years of university, nowhere else compares.
