FRESHER’S GUIDE U n i vers i ty of Man ch e s ter I s l am i c S oc i e ty Welcome to The Ultimate Survival Guide - Here you will find out everything you need to know for a halal and stress-free start to your new student life. www.manchesterisoccom WELCOME TO MANCHESTER Congratulations on making it to the University of Manchester (UoM)! We would like to offer you a warm welcome to this amazing city, prestigious university and most importantly, the vibrant muslim community across campus. University is a critical time for all people, it’s the first page of a new chapter and a time where we find ourselves devloping in ways we can’t have imagined. It gives us the opportunity to make lifelong friends and share unforgettable experiences and we hope that here at the ISoc we can facilitate this inshallah. We ain’t gonna lie to you, Manchester (aka mcr, manny, 0161, the rainy city) is where the sesh is at. Being the biggest society on campus, the University of Manchester

Islamic Society (UoM ISoc for short) hopes to enhance your student experience by creating a hub to make friends and have fun in a halal environment. It’s a place where you can increase both your academic and islamic knowledge, get involved with activities and charity work and ultimately a place where you can try and gain the pleasure of Allah (swt). Starting university is a pretty daunting experience, especially if you are new to the city and even more so if you are new to the country. So us, the University of Manchester Islamic Society, have put together a handy little fresher’s guide full of tips and tricks that should hopefully settle you in. We wish you a pleasant stay in Manchester, all the best in your studies and we look forward to meeting you at all of our events bi’thnillah! Welcome, to our old friends, our new friends, the people we’ll force to be our friends. Welcome all! Welcome to a university of boundless opportunities and society of endless experiences! ISoc has

the potential to be a huge part of your life, will you let it? Atifah - 3rd Year Dental Student ISoc is one of the most active student societies at Manchester. In my experience, they work hard to support the Muslim student community. I would say that they are also an open and inclusive society that adds so much value to the University. I always welcome the opportunity to work with them. Patrick Johnson Head of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion University of Manchester The most note-worthy thing about ISoc for me has been the warmth and togetherness I have experienced. When the long winter evenings made everything look bleak, the approachable nature of the people I met through ISoc brightened up my student life. When the beautiful summer days stretched out before me, the lectures organised by ISoc motivated me to manage my time effectively as a student, so that I could gain worldly and spiritual knowledge of benefit. ISoc has kept me grounded and given me a plethora of good times!

Let it do the same for you! This is going to sound clichéd but Im gonna say it anyway because its true and Ive experienced it first hand. ISOC is THE motive at uni. If you wanna have experiences for life, stay close to Allah swt and be surrounded by amazing people make sure you come down and meet us at all our events!. Minahil- 3rd Year Medical Student Aziz - 2nd Year Medical Student 01 TRANSPORT Getting around Manchester is pretty easy. It has wonderful bus, tram and train links If you’re going to be using the bus everyday, you should deffo consider buying a StageCoach unirider ticket; it will save you bare dollar! The unirider ticket costs £250 for the whole year and it will let you use almost every bus in the area. It might sound like a huge purchase for the beginning of the year, but look at it as an investment You can buy this ticket on the StageCoach website, or in the Students Union and you’ll need your student ID card. Make sure to keep your reciept in case you

lose your pass! If you don’t think you’ll be a frequent bus hopper and will just use the bus occasionally (i.e to go central), the 142 route by the Magic Bus runs from East Didsbury to Manchester Piccadilly Station, for only £1.50 Make sure you download the StageCoach App! If you plan on cycling to Uni, we strongly advise to lock up your bike securely using a D-Lock, and keep it in a safe, well-lit location. It’s a bit peak up here ngl to you! The University of Manchester sells subsidised bike locks on the Manchester University Online Store. To qualify for a subsidised lock, you’ll first have to register your bike for free with the University. You can also do this online Check out the uni website for more information on buying bikes and safe places to store on; https://www.manchesteracuk/discover/Manchesters tram service, the Metrolink, runs frequent maps/travel-by-bike/ services to Altrincham, Eccles, Bury, Rochdale. East Didsbury and Ashton-Under-Lyne. Shout out to all the

students who are from Manny (the struggle is real!) The Metrolink runs a service to the Trafford Centre and the famous Media City, have fun exploring Manchester!! The nearest station to the University is St Peters Square; alight here and then walk down Oxford Street, which becomes Oxford Road. I would deffo recommend taking the tram at least once during your time here at Manchester; something to tick off on your to do list. If you need to quickly travel from south to north campus (shout out the engineering mandem), The Magic 147 bus offers free travel for University of Manchester staff and students between the Sackville Street and Oxford Road areas of the campus. The buses run every ten minutes throughout the day, Monday to Friday between 7.15am and 615pm Just show the driver your Student ID and enjoy the ride! Finally, the final mode of transport is the famous taxi. If you feel like splashing out on your student loans, or have 5 minutes to get to your important tutorial, whip out

your mobile device and request an Uber. Quick, straight to your destination and sometimes if you split the price between your friends it can be way cheaper than a bus. #FinanceHacks101 HAIRCUTS You’ve moved to a new city; unfortunately its time to cheat on your barber. There are many barber shops and hairdressers conveniently situated close to Uni. For the MANDEM If you’re looking for a decent and reliable trim, look no further than Scissor Cuts on Wilmslow Road (aka the Curry Mile). Banging service, decent price, may Allah bless the Kurds! For the SISTERDEM We would recommend Sabiha’s Hair and Beauty Salon, located on Wilmslow Road (aka the Curry Mile). They offer many services for a great value! *Mandem is a slang term refers to a group of males and sisterdem refers to a group of females 02 PLACES TO VISIT A city of swagger and spirit, history and heritage, fashion and football, Manchester is know as the “Capital of the North”. Explore this bustling city; from

its boujee coffee shops to beautiful parks. Being a student means that you can be on a tight budget; but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! Visit the countless number of free entry museums and art galleries found on campus and around Manchester. We recommend the Manchester Museum (home to a giant T-Rex) and the Whitworth Art Gallery (pictured at the bottom) containing a newly opened Islamic Textile Exhibit and a beautiful little glass cafe facing the park. Make sure you check it out! When the sun is out, explore the parks found all around Manchester. Near univeristy we have Whitworth Park (opposite Lidl) and Platts Field. If you’re able to travel further visit Alexandra Park or Alderly Edge! Take a bus into the centre of town and from there you can discover the vibrant streets and quirky cafes of the Northern Quarter and the Printworks District. If you need to buy any study supplies, clothing or a fresh pair of trainers, head towards the Arndale Shopping Centre and explore the
