@jones roberts Birmingham qnd Portsmouth University where one is better considering cost of living, school fees and jobs opportunities. Please help thanks 🙏
@jones roberts well, if you want to compare London (to other cities), compare it to cities like Paris, or Berlin; it is more suitable to compare Birmingham to cities like Hamburg, or Manchester.
@jones roberts I am afraid Modern Life EH is totally correct in his description of Birmingham, the only thing he missed out was that Birmingham has a population of 1.5 million Citizens making it the Second Largest City in the UK outside of London.
Thank you Ebere, I love this topic; It touch base on what I see as the most important information to a new immigrant like me to the UK 🇬🇧. I am currently relocating to the West Midlands from South Africa 🇿🇦, I would like to thank you for this content because it gives me some insight into the place I am relocating to. Keep well and stay blessed.
Lovely video. Will be coming to Birmingham in September or December so I spend every free time looking for Birmingham content online. Glad I stumbled on this...and even better its the perspective of a fellow Nigerian
@Oluchi Ella oh yeah. I am currently in birmingham. I don't know about Manchester tho kuz I v not been there yet. Taking my time. Brum is a great city with very friendly people who smile at you at the slightest opportunity. It gives the big city vibes without the hustle and bustle of a big city. There r lots of shops, restaurants, fun spots, that I am still exploring till today. Found it hard to get an apartment, maybe because i was looking for apartments not too far from the city centre, but I am settled in now. There is a Nigerian store in town I buy my Nigerian groceries, while getting used to British foods. Christmas Market is open currently, with loads of ambiance. All in all, brum is a lovely place to be.
@@ademolahaastrup1496 wooo good to hear Please what can u say about ulster university because am still considering May or September intake and which intake do u think I should go for And also how can we talk better aside here because they are also important infor I need to get from someone there already Am glad you are my fellow Naija bred💃🏻
You should come visit Birmingham Alabama USA. It's not nearly as big as Birmingham UK but it's got a rich history all its own. You won't find much African food in BHM USA but you can find African American soul food.
Thanks for this amazing information. I have just been offered admission at the University of Law Business School in Birmingham. Checking online, i haven't been able to get much information about the international community in the school or the school ranking itself. I will be glad if you can tell me what you know about the institution. Thank you.
Which intake? I've received unconditional acceptance by University of Law, Law school for coming September intake, made initial deposit now waiting for CAS which shall be issued during 3months before course start date(22-9-2022).
It is one miserable place. If you are coming from the north like Bradford then you might like it. But if you are coming from South East greater London you will hate it. Been here for 3 years , 2.5 years too long. Thank God I'm moving back to greater London.
I don't agree that Birmingham is the safest place in England. While living in Birmingham I was mugged three times. Three times in 15 years might not sound like much, but I was never mugged at all in other towns and cities.
Hi Ebere, congrats, I see your page is growing, please I have a conditional offer to study at the university of sunderland this September, can you please suggest the best area to get a good and affordable accommodation since you have been in London for some years now, I watched your video on London but would appreciate your suggestion based on your experience. Thanks and keep up with the good works
I'm guessing you mean you'll be at the London campus of Sunderland uni. Check out Lewisham. Very affordable, and it would make commuting very easy because it's on the same skytrain line as Sunderland's London campus, which is in Canary Wharf.
@kemisola, if I had to choose between Luton and another part of UK, I'll never go for Luton. The environment, people and other stuffs just doesn't go well with me. I was there for a while.

They are recorded to be real.👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 “The Peaky Blinders were a street gang based in Birmingham, England, which operated from the 1880s until the 1910s.
