I went to uni in london and the amount of stabbings in the area were I lived was insane, plus I know people that got beaten up and mugged coming back from nights out. I'm from brum and currently at uob and would say in my experience Birmingham is much safer. I think it is all dependent on where you live in both cities to the experience you have. Also I feel like due to the cost of living in London I personally didn't get to go out much or experience the city, its easier to go out and do stuff in Birmingham due to the costs but I do miss London transport.
If you look at official crime statistics they heavily disagree with you. Birmingham only being 10% of the population of london has almost the same number of homicides every year. The worst part is that a huge number of those homicides are carried out with the use of a firearm as opposed to a sharp melee weapon in London. So actually Birmingham is way more dangerous. WAY. Knife crime is also extremely exaggerated in this country. England is safe, gangs are not dangerous, American cities like Chicago holding less than 3% of the population of the entire uk has twice the amount of murders. That’s a city with a population of 2million having more murders than an entire 4 countries with a population of 67 million. And let’s not talk about Mexico City 😅. People need to stop complaining and realise how lucky they are to only hear about a few stabbings in the area every year instead of hearing gunshots and reports of cartel kidnappings almost daily.
@@ig1948 yeah, I'm getting the impression that between the two largest cities/metro areas of France, and the United Kingdom (Paris, Lyon, London, and Birmingham), Paris has the highest costs of living (while being a relatively dangerous city, in terms of violent crime), while Birmingham has the lowest costs of living (but, also, the highest incidence of violent crime; i.e. the most dangerous of the four cities); personally, I wouldn't like to live in either of them, but, instead, I'd much rather choose to live in cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Manchester, or Glasgow!
@@mariusmatei2946 Manchester is really quite dangerous, from my understanding and from friends that live there. The majob issue there is severe and high amounts of gang crime. I'm surprised people don't talk about how dangerous Manc is!
as an international living in selly oak, I gotta admit about the safety part is unfortunately very much true. another point I’d like to add is thieves in selly oak (or near uni area) are so skillful in stealing bikes, even if you chained your bikes and put padlocks, in 2019 alone my friend’s bikes got stolen 3x times :(
Thats birmingham for you 🙄 i live at home and my moms car window got smashed 4 times this year....and the last time they took tge tiny bit of change she had in the car (less that 2 quid)
Great video! Going in to my second year of mechanical engineering and have to agree 100% with every rating. Being from London myself it seems we have a very similar perspective and view of the pros and cons of UoB
Hi I am looking to study mechanical engineering at uob, is it a good uni in general? And also I am looking to study local do you recommend any other unis that may be better?
@@asiangameryt9211 I attention uob it's a good uni however lecturer strikes will affect ur education apart from that it's a chill place (I'm first yr though)
It's worth mentioning there's a lot more places than the Bullring & Cadbury's world in Birmingham to check out for food & drink like Digbeth, Jewellery Quarter, Moseley & Kings Heath, the Balti Triangle for places etc
It is very helpful, thank u !! I want to study abroad for a year for my 3rd year as an English language student in France, Birmingham is now one of the destinations I will ask for
@@DoctorKenji hello that's nice. I also going to take a part this year. Would you like to help me about knowing everything? I want to talk to you. Can u give me ur whatsapp or face book number
Great video Kenji! There's definitely plenty of places to hang out in in Birmingham, especially if you love food!! Sorry to hear that you got robbed though! That's the problem with Selly Oak being a "student area" as (like you said) everybody knows that's where all the students live and all the valuables are kept (and for many students, the laptops are new as a lot of people buy them on student discounts when they start)! Also, I totally agree on the academics rating there 👍🏻 There were very few lecturers who were in that 0.5-star bit that was missing for the rating to be 5-star 😆
I have lived in Birmingham all my life and it’s safe if u don’t go dodgey areas (nechells, ladywood etc.) otherwise if u keep an eye out when ur out in the night u should be ok. Personally the only problems I’ve seen is around my secondary school where people get mugged but in general the city is safe, especially if u don’t go to bad areas!
I came to the University of Warwick a few months ago, full of hope for a vibrant, diverse social life. But the reality is far from that. The dream of making friends from around the globe feels like an illusion here in the UK. The campus is overwhelmingly dominated by Chinese students, making up about 60% of the population, while the rest are mostly from other Asian countries. People tend to stick rigidly to their racial groups-Chinese with Chinese, Black with Black, Indians with Indians. It's rare to find a truly diverse, mixed group of friends. There’s a chilling lack of friendliness. No one bothers to ask how your day was, and even fellow classmates seem to forget simple courtesies like saying goodbye after a lecture. The things we imagine-forming diverse friendships, going out to pubs, clubs, parks, or planning adventures like trekking, windsurfing, or scuba diving-are just fantasies that never come to life here. People keep to themselves; no one will even ask you for a coffee, a drink, or just to hang out. It’s incredibly isolating. The student and social life in the UK feels dull and soulless. People finish their studies, head back to their rooms, and the day repeats in a monotonous cycle. In smaller cities, it's even more eerie-by 7 or 8 p.m., everything shuts down, the streets empty, and it feels like a ghost town. The loneliness and sense of isolation eat away at you, making it hard to find joy or purpose. What’s the point of earning when there’s no one to share your time or experiences with? In class, it’s a sea of silent, socially awkward groups who keep to themselves. Outside, it’s rare to see friendships forming between different ethnicities, and any interaction with local British students is almost non-existent. The occasional Indian student with a British friend seems like an anomaly. Life here feels like a repetitive cycle-earn, spend on yourself, eat, sleep, repeat, all while feeling profoundly alone. Perhaps other European or Western countries, though harder to access, offer a better quality of life, because the UK’s social atmosphere has become stagnant. People seem to prefer isolation, content to live their lives in solitude, disconnected from any sense of community or shared experience.
thanks for this vid i have firmed birmingham for my first year of uni for philosophy degree, hopefully staying in the vale hopefully safer haha hope i don’t get robbed

Thank you so much for this informative and interesting video. I have an offer to do a Postgraduate Degree at Birmingham, so found this video really helpful. I'm slightly concerned about the safety aspect but it's a relief to hear that the University Campus itself is very safe and that there is a strong security presence. Do you happen to know much about Postgrad accommodation? Is Selly Oak Village a mix of Undergrads and Postgrads? Thanks again for the video and all the best with your studies.
I really liked the review!!❤️ Just as you mentioned about the medical courses in UOB and rated it's academics, Can you rate the same for Master's in Mechanical Engineering at UOB. Keep posting up more👍.. Excited to be a part of your channel!!❤️
Hii, thank you for the insight! I'm going to UoB this September, and I'm concerned about the safety that you mentioned. When I first arrive in Birmingham, do you think it would be safe for me to walk at noon from campus area to Dawlish Rd (where my accomm is located) with my baggage? Thank you.
Thanks for this informative video! I'll be going to UoB this September and to be honest, I'm kinda worried about the safety there 😳 are there any things you recommend to do/not do as precautions? Also is the student accommodation itself at Selly Oak safe? 🤔
I'd say just to travel in groups and not late at night. Also try and get accomodation in harborne if you can! And yes the student accomodations are fairly safe
I’m really confused between these universities, can you please rank these according to there ranks and perks of their respective cities as well as the student and social life of the city (University of Leeds, Bristol and Birmingham) and Queen Mary. (My course is mainly business and economics)
@@DoctorKenji Any suggestions? Please this is really important for me 😊❤️ I’m not from UK I’m from India that’s why I don’t really know about these uni’s
I hope to apply for my MSc in Immunology and Immunotherapy at the University of Birmingham this week. But I am still not sure whether to apply to Birmingham or the University of Nottingham. Struggling to decide on which Uni is better? I noticed UoN have 5 of 15 credits modules compared to UoB with has 5 of 20 credits modules.

@@DoctorKenji hi can i know which universities are good in UK for Masters in International Business management course or international relations course. And whether jobs are available after doing this course over there. This is for my daughter who is coming this Sept intake.. Thanks
i would really be interested in studying culinary arts at UCB however like most students i would need a job so the robbers targeting students massively has put me off altogether
I would appreciate if you'd reply as soon as possible but I really want to know more about the safety at Birmingham. Were the thefts happening because you weren't accommodated in the university's campus or were you?
I am looking at applying to MSc pre-physiotherapy at UOB, have your heard any comments on the course in terms of anyone’s experience? Also would you say that it makes sense for me to bring a car with me or is the transport good enough?
Sorry I don't and I wouldn't say a car is necessary if you just plan to go to areas around the uni or to the centre . I got rid of my car cause I never used it!
Hey thank you so much for your review, I am doing chemistry and haev to decide between Birmingham university and Queen Marry University of London. I honestly have no clue what to pick, I want to do specialise in medicine later on so I honestly have no clue what I should do, if you have any information that might be helpful that would be great (I am an international student)
Sorry Ive never studied at Queens so I cant give much help with that! They are both great unis tbh, my advice would go to the city and uni that would make you happiest and feel most comfortable
I am terribly sorry that you were robbed in Selly Oak , but was you living in the accommodation provided by the university or you rented your own there?
Loved the video! I have an offer from UoB and the University of Leeds for a Masters in Marketing. I am super confused between the two and need to make a deposit within a week. Would love it if you could give some advice!
Hi, you're making great content, very helpful! Could you clarify if undergrads and postgrads are not allowed to live together? I'm an international postgrad applicant and just as I started booking accoms, most options vanished as I chose postgrad, leaving only Jarrett, Spinney and some studios in Pritchatts. Not even 6 individual options to put down. I could take Jarrett but none of the other I like; I want ensuite bathrooms so no Spinney and studios seem too expensive. Any other option for me to choose one with ensuite bathrooms close to campus? I'll be new to the UK so private accoms may be insecure for me.
I'm currently a Canadian student wanting to do exchange either at this uni or at the uni of Sussex... what do you think would be better for student life, night life, and just an overall good experience of the culture?
Hi kenji In your opinion which is a better university??universty of birmingham or oxford brookes university in terms of gettn good grades,accomodation,part time jobs??
Hi, thank you for sharing this informative video, which university would you recommend for MSc in management out of Birmingham and Warwick in terms of part time and full time job and how easy it is for a student to find a full time job in London post graduation if that’s where they want to settle
Which university is good for masters in data science, Univ of Birmingham or univ of Glasgow or univ of Leeds and need to know which city has high IT organizations and employee rate
Do you have International student friends? I’ve heard bad things during this pandemic regarding financing issues and the uni bullying them, how is it in UoB? Cause im planning to do a double degree program from my uni in Indonesia with UoB in 1,5 years from now, I wish i can connect more with the people studying in UoB, do you guys have a reddit sites or anywhere i can ask questions to, Thank you!
I heard Birmingham's Medicine does not involve cadaver dissection as a way to learn anatomy. Any downsides to that in your opinion? Would you say it affects a student's overall anatomy knowledge?
I think learning anatomy from a textbook is very different and definitely isn't as good as learning it from a cadaver, however, I wouldn't let that stop you from applying to a uni that doesnt offer that!
I am going to go to the UNI soon as an international student, may I know what's the facebook group that you are in (the one you mentioned in the video) it will be super helpful for me to join it and get information thanks!!!

can international students live in hall in birmingham in their second and third years? And is it safer to live in hall than in student village?
They give priority to the first years but you should be able to get it! And yes it's safer in halls I would say
Do you have any friend who is studying luxury brand management in bcu
Looking for data science and machine learing in u o b what u would suggeat sir
Is UoB good for medicine?
Definitely! I absolutely love the medical school and couldn't recommend it more
whether the campus is safe for students to live and study
LOL! This video is LIT
Which university is good for masters in data science, Univ of Birmingham or univ of Glasgow or univ of Leeds and need to know which city has high IT organizations and employee rate
Bro can you tell me actually when will the admission process for masters in Birmingham university starts for september 2021 intake
Vyshnav P P im still waiting for it may be from october if everything goes right
@@techowithabhi4269 do you mean that i need to apply in this october for the 2021 september intake?? Is that correct bro
Sorry I'm not entirely sure!
Wow, do you think the safety problem is enough to put me off from applying there for medicine?
I wouldn't say so! The university itself is very safe and you just need to make sure you live in a safe area
@@DoctorKenji what area would you consider as safe?
@@fm6704 where did u end up going?
@@saralast4625 I stayed in Manchester lol
Do you have International student friends? I’ve heard bad things during this pandemic regarding financing issues and the uni bullying them, how is it in UoB? Cause im planning to do a double degree program from my uni in Indonesia with UoB in 1,5 years from now, I wish i can connect more with the people studying in UoB, do you guys have a reddit sites or anywhere i can ask questions to, Thank you!
Yes I do! They had no problems at UoB, this video might help: th-cam.com/video/ua0fNIrPAZ8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=KenjiTomita
Will it be good enough for doing masters in computer science ? & what will be cost for an international student. TIA
It depends on the uni, you'll have to do some research on that
What do you thing uni of Birmingham or uni of loughborough
Beware the accommodation office
Beware the lock in contracts
Beware paying through the nose for nothing
How so? I'm contemplating going there next September

And the teaching STDs
Hi Kenji, this was informative thank you. I am applying for UOB's online MBA, is it a good choice?
Thanks so much! Sorry I dont know much about the MBA there
@@DoctorKenji no problem, even now your comments on UOB's academics were very encouraging.
Is Brum not safe as a city then ?
I wouldn't say it's generally unsafe, that was just the experience that I had. Like any big major city, there are unsafe areas.
Curious question but how many Indians go to Birmingham Uni
Hahahha a LOT
lmfao birmingham has quite a huge asian population
is it hard for uob accounting/ finance student to get a job?
Sorry I'm not too sure about that degree
@@DoctorKenji thanks mate
would it be safer living in vale village than selly oak in birmingham?
I would say so!
UNI OF LEEDS PLS
Do uob has medicine A100?
I believe so
Oh😁
Why the accommodation provided by the university in the Vale village safer than that in Selly Oak? The vale seems to be far away from campus
They have security at the uni halls
I heard Birmingham's Medicine does not involve cadaver dissection as a way to learn anatomy. Any downsides to that in your opinion? Would you say it affects a student's overall anatomy knowledge?
I think learning anatomy from a textbook is very different and definitely isn't as good as learning it from a cadaver, however, I wouldn't let that stop you from applying to a uni that doesnt offer that!
Leeds offers cadaver dissection I think.
4.5 stars for academics who go on two rounds of industrial strikes lmao
what is that industrial strikes
Lol you sound American when you say restaurants
hahaha no wayy I didn't even realise that
I am going to go to the UNI soon as an international student, may I know what's the facebook group that you are in (the one you mentioned in the video) it will be super helpful for me to join it and get information thanks!!!
Sorry I don't know the group!
Kenji, Maybe you can do the voice acting of kratos of God of war 4🤔 your voice is very heavy that's why.
Hahaha I wish I knew who that was 😂
You can tell you aint from brum cause birmingham is not even dangerous
Don’t be fooled. Birmingham Uni is not similar to King’s College in academics hahah. KCL is by far a much better school byeee
loool...look everyone, we've found an elitist !! Check the league tables, Birmingham beats KCL hahaha www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings/medicine
