How about studying in Birmingham, England?

Birmingham is the second largest city in Britain and the youngest city in Europe, with 4% of the population under 25. A considerable number of these 4% young people are college students, and nearly 8, students are studying in four different universities in Birmingham. Come with me to experience the fun of studying in Birmingham, England.

For students, Birmingham is a wonderful place that can provide endless fun. The "Big City Plan" to develop the city center is currently under way. After completion, there will be new transportation lines, a state-of-the-art library costing 188 million pounds and a brand-new paradise forum, along with shops, restaurants and office space-all of which will be completed before the Commonwealth Games in 222.

As a student, I can experience many recreational activities while studying in Birmingham. The following are some of my personal favorite activities.

shopping until your legs are weak

Birmingham is undoubtedly one of the best shopping places in Britain. There are excellent indoor shopping places near the bullring, central square and mailbox-this activity is more suitable for rainy days.

Then go to the bustling commercial street and New Street, continue your shopping spree, and you will be amazed at the independent retail stores on both sides of the cobblestone street. If you want to buy jewelry, you must go to the historical jewelry area, where more than 15 designers and jewelry merchants are waiting for you.

Explore the canals in Birmingham

During your study here, you may hear the locals proudly say over and over again that there are more canals in Birmingham than in Venice. I know it's hard to believe, but there is a 35-mile-long canal network around the city.

You can board a luxurious narrow boat outside the International Convention Center to start your canal exploration journey. If you want to know the history of Birmingham and its role in the center of the industrial revolution, everything will be clear when you walk through the places where these events took place.

When a foodie

As one of the multicultural cities in Britain, you can find a lot of delicious food in Birmingham. Promise me you will try some Baltus wine. There is also a curry cooked in a steel bowl, which is a special food in Birmingham, and there are more than 1 curry houses for you to choose from near the "Baltus Triangle" in Morceli.

or, you can go to Arcadia in Chinatown and taste delicious East Asian food at the most affordable price.

Visit the custard factory

This custard factory was built more than 1 years ago by the creator of egg-free custard, and now it has become the center of Birmingham's creative industry. The area is only a 1-minute walk from the city center, and its unique shops and galleries are well worth seeing. Staying there can immerse you in the prosperous city and melodious music scene. The visit time is from Thursday to Sunday. After a day of exploration, you can go to Digbes Restaurant Club to buy some street snacks.

Eat chocolate in Cadbury World

Take a self-help tour in Cadbury World, the world-famous birthplace of chocolate. Learn about the production techniques of chocolate from Aztec to the present, and try to make your own chocolate

. Then, while enjoying your chocolate, walk in the picturesque suburb of Bourneville, and then enjoy the traditional village created by Cadbury brothers. By the way, this is where the workers live.

Visit the city's galleries and museums

Birmingham is the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and there is a lot of history for you to explore. If you want to know about the past life of the working class in Birmingham, go to Hearst Street and have a look at the last back-to-back houses.

There are also world-class museums and art galleries in Chamberlain Square, where you can see the treasures of Staffordshire-the largest Anglo-Saxon gold ever discovered-and then immerse yourself in the history of Victorian Birmingham.
