After living in Belfast for almost 3 years, I could recommend it to anyone who's looking for a friendly city to live in. The weather is the only thing you'd dislike about Belfast as it rains all the time, but you get used to it. It's such a friendly city - everyone is so welcoming and kind. You could easily make friends at pubs or meetups as people are very open. There are lots of events going on and the comedy scene is growing rapidly, there are lots of theatres and comedy shows. I personally recommend the Lyric Theatre and the Accidental Theatre. It's very affordable to live in as well, accommodation is much cheaper compared to England and food is cheap too. Overall Belfast is a lovely city to live in!

Belfast is an incredibly cheap city. Having come from England to study at Queen's, I find most supermarkets are cheaper, the food and drinks are cheaper, people seem to be more friendly and it's a lot less stressful than living in the South of England

With growing, top-class student accommodation hubs within the city centre and well facilitated universities, Belfast is ideal for students and young professionals. The Botanic and Cathedral Quarter areas rival each other over thriving bars and lively clubs. Laverys have slightly over-priced drinks but the many pool tables and layout of the bar is worth it. Restaurants within and around Belfast are beautifully varied and the food itself of high quality yet reasonably well priced. "Made In Belfast" do the best fish and chips! High Street and the Victoria Square centre offer a range of shopping experiences that suit everyone's tastes. Belfast has a few thrift and vintage stores dotted around the city that are fantastic for finding those hidden gems.

Very vibrant, up and coming city. Lots to do as a visitor. I love going to the bars such as Parlour and Cukoo and really enjoy nights clubs such as Ollies and Speak easy in the students union. Victoria Square is a must for shopping, some amazing high street shops but also designer brands. Really lovely places to eat in and around Victoria Square also.

Shopping and nights out are rather good but the transport is awful. Be sure to have a lift preorganised after a night out. Food and value for money are rather good and there's loads of places to choose from!

Beer and gear is all you need for a wavy time in Belfast don't forget the quality food available both out and at the click of a finger

Belfast has such a good atmosphere. Everyone is friendly, there is an endless variety of food to choose from, the nightlife is great with very good prices in many nightclubs and bars. The shopping (especially Victoria square) is very decent with more than enough shops to enjoy, and a coffee shop around every corner for when you're tired, the city itself is also not too big but not too small- so you won't be too tired walking around all day. It is just a great place to be!

Lots of pubs, clubs and bars. Victoria square and castle court along with many other shops. Christmas market has variety of independent food outlets and shops along with bars. Many places to go for food including independent and chain. Metro buses into town from outer town run regularly and at a good price.

Shopping options are great despite Primark's demise! Nights out are guaranteed good times and there's always good drinks promos on!

I've always wanted to go to Belfast for university as my brother and sister went when they were younger and did not regret it at all. I think Belfast is a great city and the nightlife is pretty good with food people.

I love the Queen's area, it's leafy and so pretty, with lots of nearby coffee shops, a museum, an arts centre and complimented by the Botanic Gardens. its only a 20 minute walk into the city centre high street shops.

In belfast they cater for the students. They have cheap nights out, university grouo activities. Parks for cheap lunches. Beautiful scenery. The university of belfast ulster has a very pretty garden at its entrance with benches to sit and eat lunch, you are beside the city centre and buses come very often. Its a brilliant location and great resources surrounding it.

Amazing nights out as there are so many clubs and bars to choose from within a closely nit space. So many shops within the city Center that there’s almost too much to do.

Great nightclubs ( a bit small but still a fun night!), everything is within walking distance and has a great variety of shops.

The university is in a great location close to bars, cafes and shops and is not too far from the city centre. There is so many places to choose from for eating out or going for a drink with friends. The city centre has a large range of shops and you can get everything you need :) belfast has many tourist attractions such as the game of thrones tour, giants causeway and the titanic quarter. I'm really glad I moved to belfast and have loved living there :)

Belfast is a great city. The main centre is small and easy to travel around, but there are many great places to visit on the outskirts also and it's very easy to get the train/bus to Dublin. The nightlife is great with lots of clubs and bars in the same area. Shopping is good and there are countless restaurants and cafes to enjoy.

Belfast is great for a night out, the place that does it for me is Limelight. Transport around Belfast is not the best but everything is within walking distance.
