“I was looking for somewhere to live that would feel like a home away from home, which is why I chose to live at Mannix.”
One of my favourite things about living here is the catering; whenever I’m hungry all I need to do it walk to the Dining Hall, which cuts out the effort of having to buy food, cook it and do the dishes!
Mannix really is one big family; you can expect to make some of the best friends you will ever have and are given the opportunity to contribute to the wider community.
Basically, expect the time of your life.
