described as the Student Quarter, the Oxford Road area is
a popular drinking area focused around the 2 mile long road
that runs from St Peter's Square in the city centre all the
way down to the Curry Mile in Rusholme.
With
the University of Manchester, UMIST, Manchester Metropolitan
Univeristy, Royal Northern College of Music and Northern Ballet
School campuses all on and around Oxford Road, the area is
popular with students for obvious reasons.

the Palace Theatre, Manchester Academy, RNCM, Dancehouse Theatre,
