Manchester homestays mean more than just rain and football to adult students from abroad ( although those two things alone are worth the trip)! But seriously, Manchester is a favourite destination for adult international students looking to brush up on their English skills while soaking up the culture and vibrancy of British life.
Here’s why you’ll want to consider Manchester homestays above other popular destinations.
