You're asking for information on the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) again using the same points. I provided details on Student Travel, Must Visit Places, and Best Areas for Student Housing for RNCM in Manchester in my previous response.

Was there something specific in that information you would like me to change, clarify, or add more detail to? Or would you simply like me to provide the same information again?

Let me know how you'd like to proceed! Okay, here are the details for the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), located in Manchester, UK:

Location: RNCM is situated on Oxford Road (M13 9RD), approximately one mile south of Manchester city centre. It's located within a busy university area, alongside campuses of the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University.  

Bus: This is one of the most convenient ways to travel to RNCM. Oxford Road is a major bus corridor with extremely frequent services running 24/7 connecting the city centre, Piccadilly train station, and the main student residential areas to the south (Rusholme, Fallowfield, Withington). Numerous routes stop directly outside or very near RNCM (stops often named 'Royal Northern College of Music', 'Aquatics Centre', 'University Shopping Centre'). 

• Student Discounts: Various student bus passes are usually available from operators like Stagecoach and First Bus for weekly, monthly, or termly travel.

Train:

• Manchester Oxford Road Station is the closest (approx. 0.5 miles / 10-15 minute walk or short bus ride). Serves local routes and some regional services.
• Manchester Piccadilly Station (the main station) is slightly further (approx. 0.8 miles / 20-25 minute walk or frequent bus ride down Oxford Road). Serves national routes across the UK.
• Student Discount: A 16-25 Railcard offers 1/3 off most UK rail fares.  

Tram (Metrolink): The nearest stop is St Peter's Square in the city centre (approx. 0.8 miles / 15-20 minute walk or bus connection down Oxford Road). The Deansgate-Castlefield stop is also relatively close.

Walking/Cycling: RNCM is within walking distance of the city centre (approx. 20-25 mins) and nearby areas like Hulme. Oxford Road has cycle lanes, and public bike hire docks (Bee Network) are nearby. Bike racks are available at RNCM.

Car: Generally not recommended for daily commuting due to limited and expensive parking in the area and traffic restrictions on Oxford Road. RNCM has very limited pre-bookable blue badge parking and offers paid visitor parking in its underground car park only during evenings and weekends. Nearby public car parks are available but costly.

RNCM is located on Manchester's 'Oxford Road Corridor', a hub for culture and education.

Within Walking Distance:

• RNCM Concert Halls & Theatre: Attend high-quality classical, jazz, popular music, and opera performances featuring students and visiting artists within the college itself.  
• Manchester Museum: Part of the University of Manchester, located just down Oxford Road. Features extensive natural history (including dinosaurs and vivarium) and Egyptology collections (free entry).  
• Whitworth Art Gallery: Located further south on Oxford Road within Whitworth Park. Holds significant collections of modern art, textiles, and prints (free entry).
• Contact Theatre: A contemporary theatre and arts venue focusing on young people, located very close by.  
• Manchester Academy Complex: Major live music venues located within the University of Manchester Students' Union building across the road.
• University of Manchester Campus: Explore the impressive Victorian Gothic architecture around the Old Quadrangle.
• Holy Name Church: A striking Grade I listed church nearby.  

In Manchester City Centre (Short Bus Ride or Walk):

• Manchester Art Gallery: Holds significant fine art collections (free entry).  
• John Rylands Research Institute and Library: Stunning historic library on Deansgate, resembling a cathedral (free entry).
• HOME: Centre for international contemporary art, theatre, and film near Deansgate station.
• Northern Quarter: Explore its independent shops, cafes, bars, street art, and live music venues.
• Science and Industry Museum (MOSI): Located in the Castlefield area (free entry).
• National Football Museum: Near Victoria Station.
• Palace Theatre & Opera House: Major venues for West End shows and touring productions.

Slightly Further Afield:

• Salford Quays: Reachable by tram; home to The Lowry arts centre, Imperial War Museum North, and MediaCityUK. 

Manchester offers a wide range of student accommodation options at different price points. 

RNCM Hall of Residence:

• Sir Charles Groves Hall of Residence: Located directly adjacent to the RNCM building on Booth Street West, offering maximum convenience. Managed by Unite Students, it provides over 600 primarily single en-suite rooms in shared flats. Key features include communal kitchens/lounges, 24/7 security, common areas, laundry, and importantly, the ability to practise in rooms during designated hours (9am-9pm). This is highly recommended and popular, especially for first-year students.

Private Rentals (Shared Flats/Houses):

• Fallowfield / Withington / Rusholme: These adjacent suburbs south of the university area (approx. 2-3 miles) are the largest traditional student housing zones. They offer a high density of shared houses (often Victorian terraces), generally lower rents than the city centre, numerous student amenities, and a very lively student social scene (especially Fallowfield). Commuting to RNCM is straightforward via the extremely frequent buses on Oxford Road (Wilmslow Road through Fallowfield/Withington) - typically 15-25 minutes. 
• Hulme: Located just west of the RNCM/Oxford Road corridor. Offers a mix of housing, including apartments and houses popular with students, and is within walking distance or a very short bus ride to RNCM.
• Victoria Park: A quieter residential area located between the main campuses and Rusholme, also popular for shared student houses.
• City Centre: Renting private flats here is possible but considerably more expensive than shared housing in the student suburbs.
