Before they merged, the two former universities had for some time been sharing their residential facilities.

====City Campus====

Whitworth Park Halls of Residence is owned by the University of Manchester and houses 1,085 students,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.accommodation.manchester.ac.uk/search/details/?property=54 |title=Details (The University of Manchester) |website=www.accommodation.manchester.ac.uk |access-date=10 August 2016 |archive-date=16 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160816170133/http://www.accommodation.manchester.ac.uk/search/details/?property=54 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.accommodation.manchester.ac.uk/summer2016/vacationresidence/ |title=Accommodation available at Whitworth Park Halls |access-date=10 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160825231341/http://www.accommodation.manchester.ac.uk/summer2016/vacationresidence/ |archive-date=25 August 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref> located next to [[Whitworth Park]]. It is notable for its triangular shaped accommodation blocks. Their designer took inspiration from a hill created from excavated soil which had been left in 1962 from an archaeological dig led by John Gater. A consequence of the triangular design was a reduced cost for the construction company. A deal struck between the university and Manchester City Council meant the council would pay for the roofs of all student residential buildings in the area. They were built in the mid-1970s.

The site of the halls was previously occupied by many small streets whose names have been preserved in the names of the halls. Grove House is an older building that has been used by the university for many different purposes over the last sixty years. Its first occupants in 1951 were the Appointments Board and the [[Manchester University Press]].<ref>Charlton, H. B.(1951) ''Portrait of a University''. Manchester: U. P.; pp.&nbsp;168–69</ref> The shops in Thorncliffe Place were part of the same plan and include banks and a convenience store.
Notable people associated with the halls include [[Friedrich Engels]], whose residence is commemorated by a blue plaque on Aberdeen House; the physicist [[Brian Cox (physicist)|Brian Cox]]; and [[Irene Khan]], Secretary General of [[Amnesty International]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.idlo.int/english/WhoWeAre/Pages/people/ik.htm |title=Irene Khan Biography on the IDLO website |access-date=21 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224120040/http://www.idlo.int/english/WhoWeAre/Pages/people/ik.htm |archive-date=24 December 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The former UMIST Campus has four halls of residence near to Sackville Street building (Weston, Lambert, Fairfield, and Wright Robinson). The Grosvenor Halls of Residence were demolished in 2015 to make way for a new engineering campus.<ref>{{Citation |title=MECD Time lapse – Grosvenor Halls of Residence demolition (Phase 1) |date=December 2015 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GH16FOdb9M |access-date=30 August 2023 |language=en |archive-date=30 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230830135047/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GH16FOdb9M |url-status=live }}</ref> Chandos Hall, a former residence, has been closed and demolished.

Other residences include Vaughn House, once the home of the clergy serving the Church of the Holy Name, and George Kenyon Hall at University Place; Crawford House and Devonshire House adjacent to the Manchester Business School and Victoria Hall on Upper Brook Street.

The [[Victoria Park, Manchester|Victoria Park]] Campus has several halls of residence including [[St. Anselm Hall]] with Canterbury Court, [[Dalton-Ellis Hall]], [[Hulme Hall, Manchester|Hulme Hall]] (including Burkhardt House) and Opal Gardens Hall. Halls at Victoria Park are generally more traditional, and more likely to be catered.

Hulme Hall, which opened in 1887 in Plymouth Grove, is the oldest hall of residence at the university. It moved to its current site in Victoria Park in 1907.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://manchestervictorianarchitects.org.uk/buildings/hulme-hall-oxford-place-victoria-park-rusholme-manchester |title=Hulme Hall, Oxford Place, Victoria Park, Rusholme, Manchester |work=Architects of Greater Manchester 1800–1940 |access-date=25 November 2022 |archive-date=17 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221017115101/https://manchestervictorianarchitects.org.uk/buildings/hulme-hall-oxford-place-victoria-park-rusholme-manchester |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Fallowfield Campus====
The [[Fallowfield Campus]], {{convert|2|mi|km}} south of the Oxford Road Campus is the largest of the university's residential campuses, built largely in the 1960s as a 'Student Village'. The [[Owens Park]] group of halls, formerly with a landmark tower, is at its centre, while Oak House is another hall of residence. Woolton Hall is next to Oak House. Allen Hall is a traditional hall near [[Ashburne Hall]] (Sheavyn House being annexed to Ashburne). Richmond Park is a recent addition to the campus, as well as Unsworth Park which opened in 2019.
