Sphinx Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I just went to visit my mate who's doing Erasmus and it was awesome. Opened my eyes up to the cultural differences between us and mainland Europe. House parties with like 200 people too as well as ones with small gatherings (which is still like 20 people).

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted April 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 So, yeah, seems like I've got a good shot. My course director is keen for me to do it because my grades are pretty good, I'm going into my second year, and my career goals match the minor I'd be taking. Finance wise, I'd still get my student finance, my bursary from the uni, a possibly additional amount from the uni, plus a monthly grant of about 3-490EUR when I'm out there. Looks a goer. Exciting.

It'd be cheaper to leave her at home, wouldn't it? Seriously though, glad to hear it's all going well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members waters44 Posted April 29, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2016 You can try and play them off against Sky, but Virgin are notoriously difficult to get discount with. Do you have Sky Movies and Sports on your Virgin package? If so you can cancel them and get Now Tv which will save you some money. Do you get Internet through Virgin? If so they occasionally offer discounts on that but you have to sign up for 18 months. I gave up trying to save money with Virgin so currently have the basic Virgin package with Now TV for movies (and entertainment for Sky Atlantic while GoT is on). Total i pay out a month now is roughly £80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Anybody have a rough idea of the bare minimum monthly amount needed to live in Manchester (or as nearby as possible)? Not looking for a specific number, just need a rough ballpark figure. I've been offered a partnership in a start-up and we're launching it there. I could travel through every day but it'll be a 6 day a week gig and I'll need to stay over quite a bit anyway. I've got a mate who lives there and I'm meeting with them next week so hopefully I'll be able to live there and throw them a bit of money every week for rent. Failing that, I'll rent a room/house share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 To be honest it depends whereabouts. I live in Chorlton which is ponce central, but you'd get a house share for under 400. I'm sure there are many cheaper options but the area may not be that nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 For what it's worth, I was apprehensive when I first moved here but I love the city, so much to do, I love it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 That's good to hear. Only been a few times and never really made the most of it. I'm open to making the move permanent if I get settled there. I'll shoot you a message when I get sorted and see what sorta stuff you recommend doing/seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
