Even if other NBS students don't end up booking into that particular flat, I was told there were about 20, if not more, NBS students at New Medlock overall so no one should be left out/worry as I should think there might still be a nice community of people going to NBS who live there. I’ve not actually started yet so I can’t comment, but I imagine this to be the case because it’s very easy to visit each other etc.

Hi. I’ve just managed to book into a 2 bed flat at New Medlock with another student from Northern Ballet School! Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice on here - it’s been really helpful and I’m so pleased I’ve managed to secure something. If anyone’s looking for rooms in New Medlock with other NBS students it’s definitely worth ringing them directly as they can give all the information about flats that have been blocked off. The number I used is 0161 236 8487.

Yes my mum and I were very shocked at the price but didn’t really have another option as we wanted to at least have something secured for living next year. Thank you for your help.

Thank you. That’s really kind. Has your daughter had any experience at either Parkway Gate or Dwell MSV yet? Just have to decide between the two now!

Thank you both very much. I’ve managed to apply for a room at MSV so fingers crossed! If anyone is definitely there next year, if you can let me know that would be great. Going to ring them on Monday and check whether they can put me with other students.

I rang New Medlock as I thought this might be the case and they offered me a shared flat and non-en-suite with 7 other people, 1 being a NBS student. Unfortunately I didn’t feel entirely comfortable with a flat this large and a shared bathroom as I’m moving quite far away from home and as an only child so it’s a completely new experience but they said there was nothing else apart from that available. I understand I was quite late in the process of booking somewhere however I wasn’t able to book anything until I found out about funding the other day. I’m currently waiting on a phone call back from Parkway Gate as they did say there was one NBS student still there but in a fully booked flat - hoping they are able to move things around a bit so I can share with them instead!

Hi. I’m 18 and it will be my first year at NBS this year. I’ve had to book a room at Parkway Gate as they were the only ones left and I was told that there were several NBS students there. Unfortunately I’ve found out this morning that most students have moved to New Medlock as the prices were cheaper but there’s now no rooms available to have a flat with another NBS student. Just wondered if anyone else if going to Parkway Gate and is at NBS?
