Birmingham is very immigrant friendly. lots of different races all around and easy to find your kind lol.

cost of living is also good(compared to london anyway) a bedshare can go for around 400 to 500 pcm while 1/2 bedroom flats can be seen at around 600 to 1200 depending on the area you're looking at. food is very affordable(Nigerian food as always is overpriced but still affordable compared to london) lots of night life and places to explore. transportation is easily access all over and you can use your card in the buses and trains. apparently crime rate has increased recently(I just heard this not experienced personally) but it's still generally safe( some areas you gotta avoid though just to save yourself any heartache). Birmingham is like the abuja to lagos comparison. has everything london has but without the fast and lifestyle.

Lemme know if you have any specific questions and i'll try to respond.

Blazeens:


would you be schooling? i'd rather tell where to find accomodation than where to avoid. but off the top of my head for places to avoid is small heath, Mosely, handsworth wood. this is just personal opinion others might have a different answer

You can claim the IHS refund if you have worked in healthcare for how many months?

Honestly you are right but the situation is not the same for people on student Visa especially if you have debts you are settling back home and also considering the post study option. I wish a thread can be created for people on the student route in the UK so that people coming on this route can learn from the mistake of others and be mentally prepared before coming in.

hustla:



Left to me, all students need to prepare for the possibility of that 10 year route first. Have a plan for that in place and then chase sponsorship.. That way, even if the job / sponsorship does not come, you have a pathway towards what you’re aiming for

Marrying a citizen is another option for those who want to go that route

There's also the option of starting PR for other countries while waiting

Hello everyone, Happy Sunday.

Please all, kindy advise a friend on these issues.

1. Does it make sense to collect a council house given to one by the council? PS: Housing rent is paid/covered by UC.
2. Does it make sense to rent a new or old build council house? PS: New build is in Council tax band E
3. Is it a good decision to buy a council house or rather buy a normal house?

Thanks
