Birmingham is a lively bustling city with a lot of culture and entertainment. All of the businesses you could need are present in the city and it's only expanding. There is a lot to do and there are a seemingly endless amount of night clubs.

Birmingham Student Life
Birmingham is one of the youngest major cities in Europe. It’s dynamic and diverse, making it an exciting and unique place to study.
Cost of Living
Manageable…
The cost of living is manageable.
Quite expensive…
Expenses in living are quite expensive.
Birmingham has everything you need…
Birmingham has everything you need. Large city, minimal cost - if you know where to shop to save.
An affordable city…
Birmingham is an affordable city to live in. You can cut finances down with student ID in many high street retail shops and for food. I walked everywhere so did not spend anything on transport.
Nights Out
Image Credit
Pryzm is the largest nightclub in the city, hosting events with international DJs as well as homegrown talent. Their student night called ‘Quids in’ runs every Thursday; entry is £1 and drinks are from £1.50, allowing you to have a big and cheap night out!
Image Credit
The Sunflower Lounge is a small but quirky live music venue for indie, rock and alternative music lovers. If you love discovering and supporting independent bands, this is the place to be.
Image Credit
If you are keen on doing something different to the typical clubbing, head to Ghetto Golf. Based in the old Custard Factory, you’ll find crazy golf, cocktails, DJs and street food. Open until 1 AM, you’ll be in for a seriously fun night!

Public Transport
The city is easy to get around by foot and bike; it has lots of walking routes and they are working on a new cycle highway. There are train stations dotted around Birmingham so it would be worth investing in a student railcard. The city has recently introduced a tram system, West Midlands Metro, which has made getting around even easier.
Birmingham is situated in the heart of England and consequently has fantastic connections to the rest of the country and Europe, whether it be by rail, road or air. London is around 90 minutes away by train and the international airport is just 10 minutes from the city centre.
Eating Out
Image Credit
Situated under the railway arches, the award-winning Digbeth Dining Club, is the ultimate street food destination. You’ll be able to sample from some of the best street food traders in the UK who are cooking up quality and locally sourced food.
Image Credit
The Balti was invented in Birmingham in the 1970s, so it’s no surprise that the city is famous for its curries! Explore the Balti Triangle which has some of the best and oldest family-run curry houses.
Image Credit
Birmingham also has a thriving Chinatown. Head there for the best noodles and dim sum! Some of the stand outs are Chung Ying Garden, Cafe Soya, Toppoki and for dessert, Wah Kee Bakery.
Image Credit
Shopping
The city offers one of the best shopping experiences in the UK. The iconic Bullring and Grand Central shopping centres are brimming with high street brands and a four-storey Selfridges. If you are looking for independent boutiques and vintage shops, go to Digbeth which is a few roads down from the city centre, or head out a little further to suburbs Selly Oak and Kings Heath and you’ll come across some unique finds.
Cultural Guide
Image Credit
Museums and Galleries
There are so many brilliant museums and galleries to visit. Some of the favourites are Ikon Gallery for modern art, Thinktank Science Museum and Sareholl Mill which is a must if you are a Tolkien fan, as the mill and surrounding area were a source of inspiration for The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
Image Credit
Festivals
Birmingham hosts a variety of festivals all year round. Top picks include Made Festival, UK dance and urban music and Flatpack Festival, which features fantastic films, live performances, installations and parties that pop up across Birmingham over a week.
Image Credit
Theatres and Cinemas
The Hippodrome is the UK's most popular single auditorium theatre. It has regular performances from Birmingham’s Royal Ballet, as well as musicals, opera, drama and comedy throughout the year. Birmingham is also home to the UK’s oldest working cinema, The Electric Cinema, showing everything from blockbusters to cult and indie films.

Sport
Birmingham is a great city to catch some live sport; it's home to the world-famous Edgbaston Cricket Ground plus three football clubs: Aston Villa, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion.

I have a whole list of food places and i’m still a quarter way through my list! Public transport in birmingham usually does get busy during peak times but nevertheless they are all ongoing and mostly in the centre of Birmingham town centre. read more

wot can i say. i used to visit birmingham in the late '70s and early '80s and it was rough (too say the least). i didnt recognise the place. i was stopping on broad street. excellent for pubs and clubs. it is also handy for shopping. my wife and teenage daughter loved the city centre (including the bull ring shopping centre-which has had a "few" quid spent on it since i last frequented it). i thought the place was excellent (highly recommended). read more

Birmingham is such a small city that everything from the University of Birmingham is within a one or two-hour walk. There are also numerous public transportation buses that can take you anywhere in Birmingham. The university has its own train station called "University station" from which you can travel not only to Birmingham but also to anywhere in the United Kingdom. For example, London is only one and a half hours away by train from the University station. read more

Living close to U...
Living close to UoB in Birmingham is a very nice experience (though some areas, especially in Selly Oak, seem a little dodgy). Everyone lives close to campus and therefore it is easy to meet people at the local bars and pubs everyone goes to. Some of the most popular clubs are also all located on the same street (Broad Street). It is a little pricey, as most big cities are, but nowhere near as pricey as some other UK places like London. Public transport, especially buses, are quite unreliable, so a car can vastly improve quality of life here read more

Cost of living in student accommodation is quite high. Makes it difficult for students who don’t receive enough loan to cover their rent. However, costs of everything else e.g. food is relatively normal. The city centre is about a 7 minute walk from Aston so it’s really easy to get to and there’s so many options to shop/eat. I haven’t personally used public transport yet just as I am unsure how it differs to where I’m from. But I do believe the city itself is very underrated. read more
