    Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

    I have loved living in this part of Manchester. It’s a close enough walk into town, and just on the outskirts so that you still feel relaxed and not fully in the hustle and bustle.

    How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

    They have responded really quickly, at least in 24 hours.

    Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

    At first I didn’t get U+ but after a couple of months of not having any friends, I bought the membership and made some of the bestest friends. Especially since I’m quite scared with making friends.

    Manager's response

    So pleased to hear this, thank you so much for taking the time to leave the review. It's great to hear your positive feedback on U+ and making friends at Union :)
