Good facilities and helpful faculty.
Tips: Taking admission at the University of Birmingham was an enriching experience. While I initially experienced a cultural shift, I adjusted over time. I also received a merit-based scholarship with allowance support and am very satisfied with the university, course, and overall UK experience.
Likes (Safety): I felt secure both inside and outside of the college. Besides campus security, there are CCTV cameras, well-lit streets, emergency help, and regular police patrols. My overall experience in the city has been positive, with locals being helpful and friendly.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are limited choices from my home country. The area has a mix of cafes, fast-food chains, and some mid-range Asian restaurants. While prices are moderate, regular dining out can be expensive, so I prefer cooking at home.

4.1
University of Birmingham offers endless opportunities for growth.
Tips: You need to learn to manage your time well. In my course, we hardly had any breaks, and during term time, it was difficult to have a work-life balance. I came across some people who are not mentally prepared for it. I did not get any time for a part-time job during my term times as I had multiple exams, assignments, and a dissertation along with a tight lecture schedule from 9 am to 6 pm. However, it's not the same for all courses. Most of the courses have only Assignments and absolutely no exams at all, and their lecture schedule is also quite flexible. In other universities in Birmingham, such as Aston, the lecture schedule is quite flexible, which gives students ample amount of time to pursue part-time jobs.
Likes (Student Life): For those who are proactive, believe in taking initiative and want to excel in their career, the University of Birmingham offers endless opportunities for growth. They host various job fairs, career seminars, personality development and skill enhancement seminars, intercultural awareness workshops for international students and formal English modules that you can add to your course and all without any additional fees.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Recently UK has updated their post-study work visa policy, amending the duration for PSW from 2 years to 1 Year 6 months. The time limit for getting citizenship has been increased from 5 years previously to 10 years now, which makes the UK a tough call for someone looking for settlement. Moreover, taxes are super high, which makes the UK unfeasible as an option to settle abroad.

University of Birmingham has a beautiful and huge campus.
Tips: The campus is beautiful and there are a lot of activities to do, so you won't feel bored during your initial couple of weeks. After that you get busy with assignments and academics, so you'll spend most of the time going back and forth from the lectures to your accommodation, and part-time work. Like in India, there's not much pressure on studies, which can either be a good or a bad thing. I'm happy with the fact that the university is well-recognised and gives students career guidance. The current job market is tough in the UK to get a job, so only time will tell whether it's worth it or not.
Likes (Safety): Safety can be a matter of different experiences for different people. I never had safety concerns even when walking down the street late at night. Of course, you need to be a bit cautious of your surroundings. The campus does provide an app, and some safety gadgets during the welcome week, as well as a free bus to Sell Oak to travel when it gets dark during winter.
Dislikes (Public transportation): You can travel by train or bus. Buses are usually more connected than trains but are generally late, and it doesn't matter if you check the scheduled time on Google Maps or bus stop, they will make you wait for 15-20 minutes 90% of the time. I also don't think public transport is very affordable. It's 2 pounds for a ticket whether you want to get off at the Next bus stop or after the 15 bus stop. A monthly bus pass is now 49 pounds for students, but they keep increasing the price every year. Last year it was 46 pounds.

The road to pushing and knowing your limits.
Tips: It taught me a lot of things. I used to be an introvert and had no confidence in talking to strangers, but it brought me out of my shell. I learned how to cook, take care of my finances, look for a house, etc. I am now a much more confident person. Not a lot, but just that people here are pretty self-involved in both good and bad ways. There aren't a lot of scholarships for B-Schools, but like 2-3 people in our class got them from the University. I didn't get one. I believe the university holds a good reputation, and the course was newly launched, so I wouldn't judge it yet because they are improving their curriculum, but it was quite easy, not as stressful as I had thought.
Likes (Public transportation): The University is quite well connected, which was one of the most comfortable aspects. The campus is huge, so you'll have to walk a little, but it's quite good, actually. Buses are pretty convenient, and there is even a train station on the campus itself. Buses and trains cost fairly okay if you take the monthly passes, or if you are in a group, they are even cheaper, so travelling should not be an issue.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not a lot of companies are willing to give you a visa sponsorship. While some graduate roles might provide that opportunity, even then, there is a 30% chance you'll land a sponsored job as companies prefer candidates who already have the right to work. Salary packages can range anywhere between 28-50,000/annum. There can be many titles for a job role, but the work varies from company to company.

The best experience for a student.
Tips: There definitely was a cultural shift for me. But nothing most people can't handle. It took me a while to learn certain things that India didn't teach us. I got a commonwealth scholarship of 2000 pounds. About the university, the infrastructure and technology blew my mind. It is the perfect place to study.
Likes (Safety): Birmingham is a very safe city. Even through the night it is mostly alive. One thing to keep in mind is to avoid the canals. In the year and a half that I lived there, I did not have any bad experience. As long as we don't go out of line, I'd say we will have no trouble.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): They have no placement drives like the ones we have in India. We have to look for jobs ourselves. Given that the UK is in a recession, it is very difficult to find jobs in the country. They prefer hiring a fresher who is from the UK or EU rather than someone for whom they would have to sponsor a visa.
