    Been here 3 weeks and I really like it 😁
    Obviously it’s a bit frustrating with Corona and cases are going crazy here- nearly all my friends from other accommodations are in isolation rn but I’ve still managed to get stuff done
    To anyone thinking of coming here- defo do
    Just gotta hope by this time next year things are *nearly back to normal

      I understand completely! In a month or two you’ll wonder why you were even worried in the first place, trust me! Don’t stress, you don’t necessarily have to be openly confident. Just be friendly and say hi to everyone. With the right people it will flow naturally from there. Good luck 💪🏾❤️

    Hii, thank you for the insight!
    I'm going to UoB this September, and I'm concerned about the safety that you mentioned.
    When I first arrive in Birmingham, do you think it would be safe for me to walk at noon from campus area to Dawlish Rd (where my accomm is located) with my baggage?
    Thank you.

      I’m at Brighton uni, which is right next to Sussex uni, as a city Brighton is really really safe and really good for students I’d say, night life is solid theee always stuff on. Plenty of restaurants and shisha places in brighton town center, there’s also the beach at your doorstep too!

    • @malvanoss5021
      @malvanoss5021 4 роки тому +2
