So I'm going to be doing a masters at Manchester from September and I foolishly thought I would be able to apply for accommodation in August and have a good chance of getting a place in student halls. But after phoning the accommodation office I finally got them to admit that it is quite unlikely that that'll be the case, and I was advised to also look for private accommodation.

Turns out there hardly seem to be any rooms left in private halls either. I keep making inquiries only to be told that everything is sold out (update your fucking website accordingly then, cunts), but that they can put me on a waiting list.

How likely is it that I'll be able to find student accommodation this late in the game? I don't really want to look for rooms in private houses because I don't want to be isolated from the wider student body like I was during my undergrad. But it looks like I have to unless I'm willing to pay more than £120pw.

Don't suppose anyone in Manchester has a shed for me to live in?

Not to worry, pal. The student area of Manchester is absolutely massive, you won't struggle to find a cheap house within walking distance.

Are you UoM or MMU?

Get yourself down Velvet on't Canal Street and shack up with a feminine looking bumder, m8.

In all seriousness, you should be fine just keep looking. I doubt you'll get isolated, fucking everywhere in Manchester is a studenty place. My mate is getting the jail soon, so his housemate will be looking for a lodger. Something will come up.

UoM. I live in London and I'm not going to be able to go up for any viewings before I move, so I'd rather find a place in some kind of student halls, where I'd know I'm just getting a cookie cutter box to live in with nothing else to worry about.

If you can't find anywhere using traditional methods, try Spareroom, my mate who did his masters last year at Manchester did that.
