Wellington Road South or Fallowfield: which way Stockport students move
Students on degree courses at the University Centre at Stockport College, or adults returning to study, may rent a room or a small flat close to Wellington Road South. That can mean a town-centre flat, a terrace in Edgeley across the railway, or Heaton Norris. A single room is a light load of boxes, bedding, a desk chair and perhaps a flat-pack bed, which the driver takes apart and puts back together. Send the address and the time the landlord hands over keys.
The other direction is outward. Fallowfield in south Manchester is about 4.4 miles up the A6, so a Stockport bedroom to a Manchester hall or shared house is a short run once the van is here. The weeks around the start of term in September and the end of tenancies in June fill up first. A room can also go the other way, from Manchester back to a family home in the Heatons, Offerton or Davenport for the summer.
Before a Stockport student move: keys, boxes and dates
- Ask the hall or landlord what time keys are released and whether arrivals are booked in slots
- Pack into medium boxes and holdalls, which carry far better on a terraced stair than one huge case
- For a shared house in Edgeley, check whether the street is setted and where a van can pull in
- Book the June run home as soon as the tenancy end date is fixed
- List anything bulky, such as a desk or a bike, so it is in the quote

Student Removals in Stockport: your questions
Is there a university in Stockport?
No. Stockport College on Wellington Road South runs degree-level courses through its University Centre, and Aquinas College is a sixth-form college. For a university, Stockport students look to Manchester and further afield.
How far is Stockport from the Manchester student areas?
Fallowfield is about 4.4 miles up the A6, so a move between a Stockport home and a Manchester hall or shared house is a short drive once the van is in Stockport.
How far in advance should I book a student move?
For September and June, book as soon as the date is known, as those weeks fill first. At other times of year a few days' notice can be enough.
Can you bring my room from Manchester back to Stockport for the summer?
Yes. Send both addresses, the floor and lift at the hall, and a list or photos of what is going, and the price is fixed before the day.
