Please Which areas can someone avoid, I will be relocating to Birmingham by next month and currently looking for an accommodation.i don't want to make a mistake

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

if you wanna stay outside city center to find your footing, concentrate on erdington, ward end, castle Bromwich, sutton cottonfield, norwich, selly oak(lots of students stay around here), hodge hill and maybe chemsley wood. These are areas i'm personally familiar with so i can say they're alright, and transport link to city center colleges is always available

Does anyone know what life is like in Birmingham? cost of living, culture towards immigrants etc.

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.

Since you have decided to go down dirty, I will just leave you alone in the mud, no need to fight dirty with a pig. Perhaps you stay at Peckham, Hackney or just about anywhere in Birmingstan.

na wa see as my Birmingham take stray bullet. kilode na

Just to reiterate what others have warned. Credit card is not free money, to spend is easy na to pay back hard. let's all be cautious on spending. i saw someone saying he no get income but got approved by credit card.

No be anyone prayer to enter debt, keep eye clear, spend wisely cause this no be naija, they go take their money laslas. no do pass yourself at all.

I just say may I talk this one because as things dey go for this amex trend i see stories that touch forthcoming in the next few months.
