With Wilmslow Road lined by bars and several halls of residence, Fallowfield has been one of the top student accommodation areas in Manchester for years. During the term, the area is bustling with students who came to be part of a population boosted by a diverse population.

Fallowfield is one of the most well student housing areas in the city of Manchester, with many student bars and restaurants in the locale. It lies roughly 3 miles (5 km) south of Manchester city centre. The former Fallowfield Loop railway line, now a cycle path, follows a route nearly parallel with the east-west main road.
