Whether you’re a student of the University of Greater Manchester (formerly University of Bolton), or are studying at Salford or Manchester University, Primo managed halls in Bolton are an excellent choice of accommodation.
A national provider of student accommodation, Primo offers an ideal budget-friendly student accommodation choice for the 25/26 academic year. Just a short walk from the University of Greater Manchester or a 5 minute walk to the bus/train station (for those students studying in Salford or Manchester), the location is superb.
Primo has two great student halls in Bolton – The Pack Horse and The Bank.
Both centrally located and just a short stroll from the University of Greater Manchester (and the transport interchange), they offer great value for money with rents starting at £110 per week at The Pack Horse and from £117 per week at The Bank. No need to worry about bills because these rents include all bills. More disposable income to enjoy your leisure time.
The Pack Horse with 99 rooms is a more social environment with a large common room, a gym and a concierge.
The Bank with 28 rooms is more suited to a quieter student lifestyle, suitable for those in their final undergraduate year or undertaking postgraduate study.
Both halls offer a choice of tenancy length – 46 or 51 weeks. Rental prices are all inclusive, no need to worry about bills!
