20 Signs You Go To University of Manchester And Love It

Take a peak at these signs you go to University of Manchester and how proud we all are to go there! These should be very relatable!

You remember when it was 2 for £5, but times change and inflation ruins everything. This wine may be cheap and may taste like petrol but it’s how a true Fallowfield night both begins and ends. These are some of the signs you go to University of Manchester.

2. You’re Surprised When Someone Suggests An Uber Over A Bus

Why would you get an Uber when you have a bus pass? And why would you not have a bus pass? If you’re a student in Manchester without a bus pass then you’re either doing something wrong or you’re living in Victoria Park and that’s wrong in itself.

3. Your Going Out Shoes Are Trainers

Heels who? You’ve got used to the laid back vibes that Manchester’s night life offers and couldn’t possibly consider going back to your home towns tradition of heels and a fancy dress on a night out.

5. You’re Covered Head To Toe In Tommy Hilfiger

It’s all vintage of course. You got it from Depop, eBay, or from Cow Vintage in the Northern Quarter.  Your jacket and jeans combo is only acceptable because it’s Hilfiger. If anyone else tried to mis-match non-Hilfiger demin it is totally unacceptable.

6. You Refer To University Place As The Tin Can

University Place is never called University place. But to honest if the university is going to build a giant tin can, then we’re going name it as such. Sometimes it’s called the Tin of Tuna, sometimes it’s Mackrel – but it’s never University Place.

11. You’ve Had A Sick Time On The Drunk Bus Into Town

The drunk magic bus is one of the best parts of a night out. There are sing alongs, there are dares and there is laughter. The bus on the way home is a completely different, depressing story.

12. You’ve Had A Hangover Maccies Delivered To Your Door
