Wow, not a nice review. Was it Covid-19 induced? Anything i can find "fun" in the location?
Security abd social status? Ease of life? Cheap livelihood?


Grimsby is a dead or dying town, no offence, it was o nce a fishing stronghold, but all of its industries has wound down. apart from Healthcare life is a struggle!

Thanks @lot for your response , thank you @Bourne007 thank you @Justwise.



Just wanted to chip in if you have an offer from BCU, you can choose that one. It gives you most things you are looking for in terms of job opportunities and no need to be relocating in the future

It depends on your course timetable, if it's such with one or 2 days a week lecture, them living in Leeds is doable. I hope you are coming with your partner

Hello people,

I got an offer for masters in De Montfort University, Leicester (January). I'd like to get opinions about staying in school accommodation while working on jobs. Should a prospective student who wants to work alongside rule out staying in school accommodation?? Also, what's the job market like in Leicester? What kind of jobs are easy to get there? What should I expect living in Leicester?
Thanks.

Avoid student accommodation if you are on budget, private renting is a lot cheaper.

Regarding student part time jobs.. your focus should be on jobs like supermarket customer service assistant, care, warehouse associates, security guards etc.

After graduation job...get yourself any job fair app, register and you will be receiving job fair alerts around the UK , attend recruitment events as many as you can, you will get a lot of info and contact from companies

I know at least 5 people who travelled since the airport opened with the last mid oct to lagos using NHS test. No issue whatsoever ...

the only issue has been finding a test site within 96hours because some times there no test
