Birmingham

There are plenty of things to do in Birmingham. The food is very diverse so there are plenty of different cultural foods you can experience such as South Asian, Korean, Chinese, etc. The nightlife is great too! There are a range of different clubs and bars to visit and enjoy. On top of that everything is decently priced. The transport is good but there can be delays on the buses and trains sometimes. Other than that, Birmingham is a pretty good place to stay.

Hello I would first like to start of by saying Birmingham is an amazing city with so many things to do and such diversity. At first people would often talk negatively upon the city but these are all people that have never took the chance to come and see for themselves so please come visit! it's clear that everyone has preferences and that's fine but at least come and collect your own perspective instead looking from outside the window. This city is lovely and as long as you don't look for trouble it's obvious that trouble won't easily find you so you should just focus on setting your priories straight and you should be fine!

Great expanding city- lots of places to go for nights out including cool bars constantly opening. There's new restaurants and cafes opening weekly and the shopping is amazing.

Birmingham gets a bad reputation but these days it is undeserved. It has become one of the most interesting cities to live in with choices for food, shopping, entertainment and an endless list more without the sky high prices you might find in London. Without a doubt, everyone should give Birmingham a go.

Beautiful city. Absolutely love it. There is so much to do during the day and so slang great bars and clubs for the night. You will never get bored in this city

Amaying City! Always somehting going on and there's loads for everyone do. The university is so close to the city centre and has it's own train station on campus which goes direct into birmingham centre and further afield!

Wetherspoons is life, broadstreet or gay village will be your main nightlife, and grand central is definitley over priced.

Great facilities, awesome night life. There’s everything for everyone in Birmingham :) There are hundreds of amazing restaurants to choose from to eat at and plenty of stuff to do too! Especially in the hustling bustling city centre.

I love Birmingham. The city is not too big but also not too small. For me, it’s just right. The uni I attend is within walking distance of the city centre which can be very convenient. However, parking fees can be very expensive if you’re in town for too long.

Birmingham is perfect if you like to go out but don’t like to travel far (like in London). All of the bars and clubs are close to each other, and only about a £5 uber away from the centre of you want to go to broad street where all of the clubs are. It’s a cheap city to live in and the shopping is amazing.

Nights out are amazing mostly because you're spoilt for choice. There's a club for every mood and music style and it never gets dull, plus everyone here knows how to party! Too many good places to eat, it makes dare night a struggle when everywhere is so good. For a not too expensive lunch I'd recommend Yakinori in Selly Oak or for a more pricey meal Mowgli in Grand Central is incredible. Shopping is fantastic, between the Bullring and Selfridges it's second only to London for half the price. This is because the whole city is excellent value for money. Plus with the O2 Academy you'll always find shows to go to which won't break the bank.

I absolutely loved the University of Birmingham! The university is a green heaven in the middle of Birmingham! I loved how close it was to the city centre but whilst also maintaining it's green and open space. The student accommodation on the Vale is fantastic, and the nightlife is so good! I wouldn't change my three years there for anything!

Birmingham is a nice big city to go to university. The heart of Birmingham city there is the Bullring shopping centre containing a range of restaurants and retail shops including Nando’s, Pizza Hut, New Look, Footlocker, MAC and the Apple Store. There are multiple nightclubs and bars to have fun at on Broadsteet such as Zara’s and Revolution Bar. Birmingham is very similar to London city.

I think that the location where my university is amazing because its close to city centre, there's loads of shops locally and the area is very multicultural.

Birmingham was an awesome place to have my uni experience. Given it's location in the Midlands it was super easy to commute between there and home - or anywhere else me and my flatmates wanted to go on a day out! Broad Street has such a crazy variety of clubs that you can have any type of night out you fancy, and the city centre is brill for shopping. Not to mention if you want to feel a little fancy the city is heaving with theatres and independent cinemas to add a little swish to your nightlife experience!

The University of Birmingham is in a great location!! Whilst it's a campus uni, the centre is only 7 minutes train journey away so achieves a perfect balance between a campus environment and being able to reach a city filled with a choice of clubs/shops/bars/and other entertainment venues!

The location of Aston University is excellent being located right in the heart of the city centre which is full of shops and places to eat. This location makes the university really easily accessible as all bus routes are located in the city centre which also makes getting to all locations super easy. The bullring is located no more than a ten minute walk away from the university which is full of amazing shops, not to mention the grand central which contains delicious eateries such as italian and japanese street food and low cost shops. The bull ring and grand central contain everything you could need and are only a door stop away!

A really great location near the city centre but not too close. Right next to it's own station so it has great transport links. Lots of pubs and shops in close proximity and a small retail park nearby for when you don't want to venture into town.

I love traveling, nights out in Birmingham is fun with friends and there are a few things to do here as well such as bouldering, mini golf, go karting, cinemas etc

Located in the city centre, everything you could possibly need is in close proximity, you will rarely need to use buses/taxis. There is a massive variety of food shops to eat from as well as hundreds of shops to buy what you want/need.

Birmingham is a great city with loads to do. It has great shopping and really fab independent restaurants and bars, and always has loads going on.

Great city, the nights out are huge and varied, getting into Birmingham is so easy, simple and cheap, but our guild of students on campus is such a good night out as well and it does great food during the day

Birmingham was amazing. in the heart right near the building Aston uni had 24 hour shop near it 2 min walk from lakeside. so many food places, food was cheap choive was so vast. Chinese indian Thai pizza off mcd baguettes sandwiches wraps homemade indian food. pasta and desert lounges about 3 of them and a massive Wetherspoons all 2 min walk max from uni. building was 5 times as better then Westfield and 10 min walk

Really decent for nights out, easy to get to broad street from all unis. Shopping is great, particularly with the bullring near by, which also has restaurants. Generally you get good value for money, nights out on the weekend can be expensive but normally it’s affordable. There’s not really much to do, there’s a museum and the city library but other than that it lacks entertainment and also green spaces in summer.
