Dear community:)

In about two month's I am going to my internship abroad and they gave me the choice between
London and Birmingham, and I chose for the second and wanted to know any of you know the place?
maybe live there or went there on holiday?

Regards
Henk

Just out of interest, why did you choose Birmingham over London? And what is your internship/how long?

I've got a few friends who go to uni there, and I've been a couple of times but not for long. It's a fairly big city and the bits I went to were alright.

@nickpc.
Yeah I chose Birmingham because a classmate of mine is going to and we can go together which makes it all less new and such ahha, and because it is a city to my taste looking at its rock background.
I am going an internship for marketing/administration/accounting etc all rounder you can say.
Yeah its quite large, but we are going to be located fairly close to the city.

@seke yeah me too, London is so big really that’s one fourth of the Netherlands:P

Sounds good henk. Definitely going to be easier if you're moving here with someone you know too, so good thinking there. What's the name of the company? When do you start?

5 person hous were I am going to live with the person in my class.
