Best place to live-Manchester or Birmingham?

Manchester!!!! cause we have football teams like Man Utd and Man City; not West Brom and Wolves.

Thats like saying Birmingham has Birmingham City & Aston Villa whereas Manchester has Oldham Athletic and Stockport County.

haha, true, i was trying to sway OP with my biased opinion
I do joke, but Birmingham now has 4 teams in the premier league.

Two*

I live near Manchester. Manchester is amazing. Better shopping than Birmingham. Also, the electric trains in Birmingham make a weird annoying sound when they arrive and depart from stations. On that basis alone, I'd choose Manchester over Birmingham!

Bham is good but i really like manchester.
where do you live exactly?

I live half an hour away from Manchester on the train so I spend a lot of time there. It's the place to go for everything; football, shopping, music, culture, parks etc. The only thing good about Birmingham is that it's nearer to London :P

lol yeah!
So what uni you going to?

A good tip for cheap train tickets from Birmingham New Street to London Euston is to use megabus.com and order train tickets from there!

I don't know. I'm re-applying and embarking on a gap year that includes the Lake District and South Africa. If you want to know more about my university choices, just look in my post history from this evening

OHhh South Africa, u'll enjoy that.
Im actually looking for part time jobs in manchester... if you could help me out with that.

I'm sorry.. My friend has had no luck with jobs in Manchester and he's been looking for months!

arghhh
thats not fair!
what about on the campus of the university of manchester itself?
