Birmingham

As the second biggest city in the UK, Birmingham has everything you could be looking for including shops, clubs and restaurants.

The nightlife in Birmingham is far better than I expected. There is a lot to do is birmingham you will never be bored because there’s always something going on. My favourite is broad street and the bullring for shopping! I love that the uni is so close to everything also.

Good city there are lots of shops and extra activities and trains are great and that’s easy to get around but traffic is awful so driving and buses take ages. Bham has a bad rep but nights out re usually good but very expensive on the weekend so

great food, shopping and nightlife spots nearby. Always plenty to do around the city centre and broad street.

There are a wide variety of foods, including a mini chinatown, a variety of resturants at the bullring which is also fantastic for shopping. The transport is great too since the train station is in the heart of the city.

There is lots of cheap transport to get into the main city of Birmingham. The student area, selly oak, has lots of shops that are relevant and useful for all students from all backgrounds. There are easy links to the main train station which can take you anywhere you want. There is also an airport nearby allowing internationals to easily arrive and students to visit other countries cheaply and easily.

Birmingham is a great city! The Bullring is conveniently 5 minutes away from the university, so shopping and eating out is easy.

Nothing to add, food is good, not much value for money, unsafe city, all in all not a bad experience.

The food is great, the Bullring is extremely close to the New Street station, a lot of cheap places to chill out in. Best place to be in right now

Good city, loads to do, the bull ring is a great place to do some shopping and broad street is great for clubs. Have a look at some of suburbs of Birmingham and you may even see a more varied landscape

Great nights out, brilliant foods and there are pleanty of free events all year round even if you feel the need to venture out its not far from food nor drinks.

Plenty of places to shop and eat many of great quailty but theres some with alright quality just not the kind you would go back to very much.

Brilliant city, food selection, shopping facilities and overall student experience. So much to do in a reasonably travellable area.

Birmingham as a location is a really good location as it has the bullring near by which means shopping is so easy and students can purchase food whenever they wish to. There is broad street which is mainly for the nightlife as has many different clubs that be open and these have very low priced entry which means it's a bonus for those students who are living the university lifestyle.

Birmingham is the youngest city in Europe, and it caters for the young adult demographic fantastically. There's loads of shopping to be done in the Bullring and the adjacent New Street, numerous clubs along Broad Street, and lots of pubs and restaurants (including many Wethershoons'!) everywhere! As it's a large city, it can be quite expensive, but there's always happy hours, McDonalds, and Primark! Every winter there's also the German Christmas Market, which is always lovely to walk down and buy some presents and food. There's great transport, with lots of frequent bus routes and train lines, plus the new tram system so wherever you live, you can get about super easily.

Massive city, lots of things to do not matter what your intrested in, pretty good value for money compared to other places. Easy to get around on the train but bus network is a bit complicated.Some issues recently with local council not collecting bins but been sorted.

Great location for shopping and night life. Plenty of choice for clubs, with most nights of the week having a good club open. Also great choice of bars, pubs and clubs.

Birmingham has a lot to offer but many of the things are not very well known or easy to discover so there's a lot of hidden gems known to the locals but for the tourist, it may be harder to find Birmingham as interesting as London

There’s so much to do in Birmingham from shopping to taking a walk round one of Birmingham’s parks or botanical gardens - which is easily done with the transport available. In Birmingham there is the bullring for shopping, many places to go out on Broad Street and restaurants and bars to be found in Brindley Place.

Selly Oak is great for students. It has so much variety in places to eat at fantastic prizes, some of my favourite: Yakinori and the Bristol Pear. It is not far away from Harborne for great restaurants or to the centre for amazing shopping. Selly Oak station is max. 10 minutes walk from anywhere in the town and is very cheap to get into town in less than 10 minutes. Alternatively, the bus runs at £1 single into the centre, too. Selly offers lots of fun things to do in the evening, with a new bar/club opened recently called Circo - has great student deals most days and a club event on Fridays.

Amazing for shopping and food. Literally every restaurant and shop I can think of. Really diverse place to live. Nightlife is incredible! Only downside is the homelessness and the amount of people who ask for money on the streets.

Birmingham is a great place to visit with friends and family. There are a range of things you can do to enjoy your visit. There are plenty places for you and your friends/family to go to eat! Places like Brindley Place have some great restaurants and bars, and they’re all just a walk away from the canal. Some even have a balcony view of it! City centre/Bullring is a great place to shop because of the variety of shops there is. There’s everything from budget to designer. It is also full of great places to eat such as Wagamama’s, Nandos, Pizza Hut, etc. There’s also China Town located right around the corner from the Bullring if you fancy some Asian cuisine. If you fancy a night out, there are plenty of clubs on Broad Street to party. There are also a few in city centre and a few in Gay Village which is in city centre too.

The location is great, about 15 mins from town. The nightlife is amazing. So many different clubs of different genres and the taxis and Uber’s are so cheap to get there and back as it’s not too far. Shopping is great, the bullring is massive and has just about every mainstream shop you can think of to get all your favourite things. There’s plenty to do from cinema, shopping, bowling, to ice skating, clubbing and eating out. Star city is about 30 mins away and offers all sorts of activities and restaurants all under one roof! Everything here is pretty cheap and so very good value for money; especially conpares to places in the south like London! Overall, Birmingham is amazing and I would highly recommend coming here.

Great atmosphere living in the city centre where everything you could want is within walking distance. Great for night life and just to chill.
