Jennie, that is a great location to live as it is so centrall, just right by the universitys, great nights out in Didsbury village, and cheap nights at the student bars. My daughters grandfather lives in Rusholme so am a frequent visitor up there, would love to meet up, go for a curry maybe as you are on top of the curry mile.
I am also a teacher, but looking to try something new,want a lesss stressful job.
