Well, I can only talk about the area. Worcester is quite nice, but definitely has the rural feel, which may be a problem if that's not your thing. It's not a big city (although big enough for us Herefordshire folks to visit when we want to go clothes shopping). If you want the 'big city' style, then Worcester is not for you. I'd also recommend that you take a car, if you're planning to go to the area (although not absolutely necessary). The nightlife is ok, and there are some nice pubs, but again, it's not exactly 'big city'.
