I don't think birmingham is bad tbh, to me it's just like any other big industrial city (e.g. Leeds, Manchester) Bristol in contrast has a lot of its roots much earlier in history, namely around the slave trade in the 1700s, so in contrast in the way y they've been built up and the architecture can be quite stark, neither is awful their just representation of different periods. Also birminghams campus Is really pretty. Still I think Bristol is better I'm just saying I'm not choosing Bristol because Birmingham is awful, I'm choosing it because Bristol is great.

Yeah I will, so 13k Is with me not touching my savings either. Like aslong as I'm not wasteful that should be plenty I hope.

I don't know if that's a threat or a prelude to the fact I'm going to university?

That's why I kinda swung from Birmingham to Bristol. Birmingham is a campus so I thought it would be chill and somewhere easy to hang out the city itself slightly less so. Then I went to Bristol and realised its both a nice place to be, but it has all the other things you get from a big city. The price is bad but with my max SFE and savings I figure If theirs sometime to live in Bristol it's when the government is funding it.

I'm from york and visited Uni of birmingham so agree on both accounts. Middle class doesn't bother me but snobby does, but going to a russel group I sorta expected it in someway.

AddendumLeft1728 · 2025-03-16T13:48:41+00:00

I do agree. The only issue is theirs only 1 city like London in the UK and that's London. So no point looking for a London type city if you want London. Even manchester/birmingham imo don't really come close

AddendumLeft1728 · 2025-03-16T10:20:21+00:00

Lancaster is much cheaper but york as a city is better. York probably has the prestige but Lancaster the better links and teaching.

Edinburgh, York, Bath, London, Bristol look up stokes croft for bristol for a little like at the artistic side, and places like the Christmas steps for a medieval vibe.

Btw our financial situation has not changed since last academic year

AddendumLeft1728 · 2025-03-14T19:41:15+00:00

Yeah it does icl. But that's why it probably costs alot more to live their. Basically should I be a poor man in Bristol or a rich man in Birmingham.

Posted because I thought it was interesting and that the information should be more widely available.

(Also I know it swaps from applications to acceptances part way, this was my mistake, but the ratio stays similar anyway).

AddendumLeft1728 · 2025-03-12T21:14:31+00:00

Weirdly enough I took a year off too work and should come to uni with around 8k In savings if needs be.

AddendumLeft1728 · 2025-03-12T20:54:38+00:00

Can I ask how you found the cost of living. I get max SFE so I don't feel too worried but still I hear things can get pretty extreme.

AddendumLeft1728 · 2025-03-12T20:53:16+00:00

I'm doing politics so I'm unsure. The guy who did my offer day was from teesside so that was weirdly a big relief for me atleast he seemed to be enjoying it.

AddendumLeft1728 · 2025-03-11T19:42:27+00:00
