The first year accommodation is a short walk away (on campus). These things are always ‘horses for courses’ and DS wanted somewhere with a decent sized city at hand - he definitely didn’t want campus but by this he really meant a campus that was out on its own
Thank you. I heard about the train from the uni into the city. Sounds ideal - far enough away from the city but easy links for getting to a concert, night out or shopping.

Hope it goes well. Please let me know how it goes.

My daughter started at Birmingham in September studying English and Creative Writing and is really enjoying it .She doesn’t feel isolated at all , her accommodation is across the road - about a 5 minute walk , she goes out in the city centre about twice a week . Her friends club together for an Uber and it’s only a couple of pounds .

Brilliant news! Medicine is such a tough course to get onto, that’s a great achievement.
