Final comments
Birmingham is a great city with a lot of activities and possibilities. London is also only 2 hours away by train therefore one can easily go and get back in one day. The campus life is great and I would recommend people to stay on campus. Close to the University there is everything: supermarket, banks... The professors at the UCE are very accessible, therefore get in contact with them as much as possible. They will help you always.

Birmingham is in the center of the UK! Thus, it is a great destination. However, in terms of education UCE is not the best. Better go to Aston Uni or Birmingham Uni
