Birmingham

Night life is great, lots of options something for everyone. Lots of nice cocktail bars and restaurants, lots of clubs wether you like raving or R&B or pop. The bull ring provides lots of different clothing options plus Selfridges provides stuff you can’t get else where ie Tiffany etclots of quirky places in digbeth, ghetto golf, digbeth dining club.

Good city for students as it has quite a lot of educational opportunities as well as part-time or full-time stundent jobs to offer. Loads of young people from various countries, pretty welcoming and tolerant.

Birmingham is a good city for students as it has a quite big range of activities out and good opportunities for part-time student jobs as well. Not too busy and not too boring.

Birmingham is a nice place to be in as there is lots and lots of clubs to go to and also the bull ring where there are a lot of restaurants to eat at.

Despite the bad press, Birmingham is pretty decent. We’ve got the mailbox when we want to be fancy, digbeth when we want to be edgy, soho road when we want to be Asian, Selly Oak when we want to get mugged (jokes aside, Selly Oak is a #problem). But all in all, it’s a big city, relatively cheap and lots going on. 9/10 would recommend to a friend

You can do a lot of leisure activities and shopping in Birmingham. Not forgetting clubs and bars for a great night life experience. The bullring is the main attraction, there's an indoor shopping centre situated in the bullring where there's your favourite brand shops such as BOSS or RIVER ISLAND and many more. The cinemas is also situated near the bull ring. There's also food places like PIZZA HUT or NANDOS and many more. Not forgetting a massive library to get your studies in. Night life is also exciting as there are many different attractions to chose from from a range of prices

Lots to do on the weekend, great restaurants to eat at, and amazing places to shop. The Bullring has everything you need and more.

Best thing about Birmingham is that it has lots of good places to eat - lovely food AND good atmosphere. Grand central is always introducing new restaurants so definitely recommend!

Birmingham often is put down as a city of concrete and industry but if you look clos e enough you'll find hidden gems (not just in the Jewellery Quarter). Nights out are great but nothing any major city wouldn't be able to offer. Every night there is a student specific night or some classier options for those not interested in the top 40. The only real benefit is the great and reasonable gigs on offer. With 90% of the UK writhing a 4 hour drive of the city, transport is excellent with reasonable costingbuses and trains from Birmingham New Street Station going anywhere. Any shoppholic will be satisfied with the Bullring shopping centre. Otherwise there are hundreds of independent shops and vintage sales in Digbeth, the up-and-coming part of town. Even if your must-have brand ain't in town then just take a train to London (from only £7) to satisfy your needs. Eating out can sometimes be impossible to decide with the variety on offer. Host to the award winning Digbeth Dining Club, new and interesting venues as well as the classic brands are all on offer. Especially for Vegans and Vegetarians with plenty of restaurants popping up to fit alongside the UK Vegan Society's HQ. Entertainment can range from 'rainy day' activities like a film or bowling alley to 'get out of the city' activities like visiting the mountain biking trails at Cannock chase or visiting Oxford or Leamington Spa for a day by train. Despite being in the midlands, you should expect to pay city prices from most things. However, look out for deals and offers which can make anything from a pint cost only £2 or a three-course meal out under £10 and you'll do just fine. As a Londoner and previous resident in Manchester, I was sceptical it could live up to my high expectations but it's done well to meet them. Highly recommend!

Literally have the choice of just about anything that you want from cosy n cheap to high end and fancy. Love it all, but my favourite is probably the garden room in Sutton coldfield

Birmingham is one of the best places for students to live outside of London in the UK. This is due to the wide range of activities and shops that are near the University of Birmingham. There is always something to do whether it is going to Poetry Jam or spending a couple of hours at the Bullring.

Excellent transport links throughout the city, usually do not have to wait more than 10 minutes for a bus or train. Most buses pass through the city centre too, providing shopping links such as the Bullring and high street, as well as accommodating for nights out on Broad Street. Birmingham has a bit of a rep for being rough, however I would say it's no more dangerous than any other major city.

Birmingham has the best nights out with a lot of variety and something to suit everyone. The shopping is good aswell as you have the Bullring, Selfridges and Grand Central.

From my experience I don't really feel that Birmingham has much compared to other cities and towns. I think that there needs to be some dramatic changes to the transport as there are not enough buses and trains. I also feel that there needs to be more places to eat out because the majority of the places are overpriced and definitely not worth the money when it comes down to the actual taste of the food. I also don't think there are big ranges of entertainment compared to places like London and Manchester.

Birmingham has many different shopping places, food places, and entertainment in a very close area. It has a great nightlife and there is a range of things to do.

Very fun packed city! Full of life never nothing to do but can get fairly busy but overall is worth the visit

the food was amazing I was in love with the night life several places to go and a variety of shopping places for the day. Would love to visit again get the cabs are hard to reach out to, suggest visiting on a weekend and taking a car if willing to travel to clubs parties, let me know how it goes maybe ?

Birmingham is multicultural so has restaurants from all kinds of different cultures. It is nice to eat something different. There are different shopping centres such as the bullring, Fort shopping centre etc. Pricing is good. It does have a lot of places to have fun however it gets a bit repetitive, we need more places to go and have fun.

Birmingham is the most alive city in my opinion. I have visited few other cities but I never had nights like those in Birmingham. Broad St. is the place you can't miss .

The geographical heart of England, Birmingham began life as a sixth- century Anglo-Saxon village. Today, much of this city of over a million dates back to post-WWII redevelopment in the 1950s and 60s. Cutting edge museums and galleries, innovative theatres and excellent shopping have contributed to Birmingham's appeal as a weekend break destination. Don't miss the Balti Triangle, home to the Pakistani food in the UK, the hopping bars and cafes of Gas Street Basin, or the National Sea Life Centre.

Lots to do. A bit rough. Lots of homeless people. Good food. Good nightlife. Fun City that isn't as expencive as London.

Birmingham is an amazing city full of students from all over the world. There are a variety of churches to go that suit any denomination as well as multiple small groups that will assist you during your time in university. Bullring is huge and has pretty much every store you need, but a personal favourite is Grand Central with a variety of food to choose from! Travel - buses and trains within Birmingham are cheap and good value for money - ubers are frequent, however, don't make them a habit or else the money builds up! If living in the city centre everywhere is pretty much walkable!

Great place to live and study . Lots of places to enjoy student life close to home. Places to spend days with family on visits. Lovely people
