Living, working and studying in Birmingham (UK)
In this video I ask questions to Fabio and Sebastian about living, working and studying in Birmingham. Questions such as "What are the pros and cons of living in Birmingham" and "What's the living cost in Birmingham" are covered.
🐻 About Me:
My name is Anica and I was born and raised in Italy, Rome in 1998. I'm originally from Bangladesh and I've been living in the UK for 6 years, so you could say I'm multinational. I'm studying Adult Nursing at the University of Nottingham, but I'm probably going to be like those people who study something but end up doing something completely different as a career.
✈️ My KZread Project:
It's a research about me travelling to explore, interview people and tell you about life satisfaction and living expenses of different cities across the UK. This is so that I can find the right place to live. I hope this project helps you to decide where you want to live next too.

Glad you got to go to the garden in the library. It’s a must when visiting the city ❤️
I'm happy I found this❤️ I'm yet to go study at the University of Birmingham for my Law🌼🤞
Thanks for visiting Birmingham. Hope you had a good time.
birmingham´s motto is forward, that sums up the spirit of this bustling, cosmolitan, green metropolis
For those of you watching this who don't understand Italian and would like to visit or move to Birmingham English is the most widely spoken language in this beautiful city and many other languages are spoken here If you get lost looking for the central library please remember that the building you are looking for is called the library of Birmingham the building formerly known as Birmingham Central library was demolished a good few years ago

Mai stato a Birmingham, ma ci devo andare. Complimenti per il video!
awesome video! visiting Birmingham tomorrow and planning to make a vlog too :)
Very encouraging to watch would like to move soon
It's called the Library of Birmingham. Opened in 2013. The old Birmingham Central Library was demolished in 2016. Is where Paradise Birmingham is now towards Chamberlain Square. You stayed in Digbeth. Welcome to my home city.
Really good vlog - Birmingham is a very underrated city, much nicer than people expect.

@@marthasheilds2446 Where do you get this rubbish from martha shields, have you ever visited Birmingham in your life, I very much doubt it and your ideas of Birmingham are what you have in your imagination. Birmingham is a very Green City with more green areas a parks than any other City in Europe, it is also a modern, cosmopolitan, friendly and welcoming City as proven by the response from People from all over the UK and Common wealth that visited my Great City of Birmingham during the 2022 Commonwealth Games and Birmingham has not got a bad reputation and Brum is very desirable. Why your negative attitude to Birmingham, was it that your got a speeding fine in Birmingham that upset you.
I've lived in New York City, Toronto, Miami, Baltimore, Atlanta, Warsaw, London, Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham. Birmingham is pleasant, safe, convenient, and relatively inexpensive.
It’s okayyy for me, I can build up my brand for sure❤️
I moved to Birmingham 20 days back joined university of Birmingham from India, and stayed in the same central backpackers for 4 days.. it's really awesome as per the budget n we'll hygienic. Thanks another for sharing the vlog it's really gonna helpful for me.

I'm 41 and lived in Birmingham all my life. To say the city is safe did make me laugh. Like any city it has good and bad parts. It is very multicultural city so if your foreign the chances are that many others are as well so you will generally be and welcome. Avoid public transport at night or walking about at night outside of city centre. After 6pm get uber same as London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow..............

Many ridiculous comments here, Birmingham is vast and has everything from deprived areas to multi millionaire suburbs and everything in between, the city centre is fab and the public transport is generally very good, I love it hence why after 30 years in Devon I am moving back to my home city where my family all live and thrive, you cant generalise about a city as vast and diverse as Birmingham......go take a look for yourself, I think its great
