The nightlife in Manchester is second to none, with themed club nights and J-Soc hiring out clubs and bars on occasions, it's the place to be. In terms of kosher food, Hillel provides students with 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, during term time.

Food & Accommodation
Hillel House is the main accommodation in terms of kosher food for first years. It provides 3 meals a day, 7 days a week during term time. In north Manchester, there are a few kosher restaurants and kosher delis, so kashrut can be kept without too much difficulty!
