IQ Warehouse Two is perfect for students studying in Manchester. It is located in a prime location just a short walk from Piccadilly Train Station meaning there are plenty of local amenities. The staff are always friendly and willing to go out on a limb to help with whatever needs you may have. There have been lots of maintenance/repair works during my 18months in the residence so far, but there has always been advance notice given and the work has always been to a professional standard in order to maintain a high quality of living within the flat(s). The gym is excellent and has enough equipment for full body workouts. WiFi has always been reliable and fast enough for online gaming/streaming. There is a good mix of National and International students; there is a feeling of "all students are welcome" within each of the buildings. The living expenses are on the higher end for student accommodations but as with most things you tend to get what you pay for - and the IQ team were very flexible in allowing me to pay in monthly instalments to better suit my research stipend funding. I have also saved money by not having to commute, purchase furniture (the flat was fully furnished) or pay-out for a gym membership. Highly recommend IQ to anybody new to Manchester looking for a convenient location and friendly support. Thanks guys!
