Remember your emotions when bidding farewell to the nestling surroundings of home for the first time? Starting at university or college can be a daunting experience, especially when you've upped sticks to a new city altogether. The combination of novel surroundings, new friends, attitudes, even accents is undoubtedly a tad overwhelming, but its also downright thrilling.

This mishmash of the exhilarating and the intimidating helps put the Student Special in context. Initiated by City Life magazine to help acclimatise the plethora of brand spanking new students who annually descend on this fair city, the Student Special is now in it's tenth year. Covering all the imperative facets of student life in Mancunia; music, clubs, food and drink, cinema, sport, travel, the arts, gay and lesbian, the Student Special offers sharp insight and trusted advice into the Manchester student experience, making it a godsend for any fresh-faced young thing eager to make the most of their duration in the student capital of Europe.

The decision to modify the format for the forthcoming edition from a magazine format to a handheld glossy guidebook also ensures that students will return to this reliable manual for guidance as their year whizzes by. The 2003 Student Special is only £2 and we pay for postage and packaging if you are a UK resident.
