“Birmingham city centre really is a great place, packed with shops, restaurants and bars. It is a great place to make new friends and spend some important years of your life. Living so close to Birmingham city centre is so convenient. You are only a 10-minute walk to excellent nightlife and shopping or just a short taxi ride. You can easily take a break from uni life without travelling expenses or long walks”
Gemma Kyte, 2nd Year Student

“I was astonished how beautiful Birmingham was. The buildings, the art, the use of water. It is an extraordinary jewel of a city...I was bowled over when I was there.”
Bill Clinton, US President 1992-2000 (The Times, 2/10/02).
