London is basically the best city in the UK

Really? Me too
Birmingham is really nice city, especially the center with lots of shops, places to hang out etc
I don't think it's really expensive to live there. The city doesn't get enough love, anyway.

It feels cold and heartless at times and overall not somewhere I want to spend my long term future.

I would love to visit, might go there next summer hols if i get the chance. do you know what course u're planning to take yet ?

it has no green grass or trees and limited parks which are always overcrowded so you can't even do much anyway.

I hope you'll go there and appreciate it!!
Yes, International Relations and Economics and you?

London is terrible, crime rate is high, it's overcrowded, it's expensive, it's dirty, it has no green grass or trees and limited parks which are always overcrowded so you can't even do much anyway.

Other cities are much better, they basically give you everything London can give for cheaper.

Medicine, though its seems quite impossible at the moment.

For this year's entry or later? From what I know, it is a competitive course but why is it impossible?

Eh? Not true at all, there's a decent amount of green (Regent's/Hyde Park are the parks closest to me, they're huge). Sure, at noon on a sunny day in the Summer they're going to be busy; pretty much any other time is decent, though, unless you just hate seeing other people when you go out

As for the over-crowding in general: yeah, Oxford Street at Christmas time is hell, but again usually not that bad. I like the business, anyway.

Career prospects. Certainly in my case.

main reason would be getting the requirement grades to actually study it later.

And you don't have them?
You can always do a scientific undergraduate degree and apply for graduate Medicine or transfer after a first year?

I moved to London over 6 months ago and I disagree to some extent. I miss Glasgow because that's where I grew up. I knew where everything is in Glasgow.

My issue with London is everything is so spread out, which compared to Glasgow drives me insane. It takes either 30mins or an hour to get anywhere.

Also I genuinely don't think there's much to do at night that you can't do in any other city. For example my boyfriend came to visit me and it was a weeknight so we didn't want to drink as he had an interview and I had work and we were at a total loss for what to do. I think this might change when I've been here longer as I do enjoy stuff to do during the day like the farmers markets and the museums but there's not a huge amount to do at night that I've found as of yet.

actually havent done the exams for them yet. i'll keep ur suggestion in mind just in case things dont go to plan. )

In that case, don't be too pessimistic yet
Cool! I'm glad I could help

Yesterday I had to go to Manchester and whilst going there I passed a few cities up north and just realised how bad the rest of the UK is lol, it's like living in Kyiv or something, it's nothing, it's dull and it boring

London is diverse, exciting, and there's always something to do. It's the best city in the UK and I wouldn't move anywhere else lol

Yeah those are literally the only 2 big/good parks in London, why would you go to the park in winter?
