The reason I chose Bradford was based on three important factors for me:<\/p>\n \u201cI attended an open day and contacted the Sabbatical Officers within the Students\u2019 Union who were kind enough to explain what the demographics of the city were in terms of diversity and also the ranking and reputation of the University within the UK. Furthermore, when I checked out the facts online, I was really impressed and made up my mind to attend the University.<\/p>\n \u201cI booked myself into\u00a0The Green student accommodation<\/a>\u00a0which was by far the best decision I had made because it had people from all across the globe. I made really good friends with the students there and got a chance to understand their culture and learn new things about different people from all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI was surprised to see how welcoming people (fellow students and people from the local community) were. As soon as they knew I was a new student, they were very supportive.<\/p>\n \u201cThe areas around university had a good student-friendly vibe. The city centre, the shopping complex and even the parks in the city are very much designed to cater to the students, which makes the experience worth-while.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere are plenty of opportunities for part-time jobs in the local community around the University which makes the student experience more valuable.<\/p>\n \u201cThe food in Bradford is amazing \u2013 it is actually referred to as the \u2018Curry Capital\u2019 of the UK. Plus, there is plenty of history buried beneath some of the striking buildings that you see around the campus so that is very intriguing.<\/p>\n \u201cBradford is also the official City of Film in the UK, which is quite cool. Popular Netflix series Peaky Blinders has been shot in Bradford and Bollywood movies like Gold and Welcome to Karachi. Ranvir Singh and Vaani Kapoor also visited Bradford to promote their movie Befikre. So this is something that I did not expect when I arrived in Bradford, these close ties with Bollywood!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have been actively involved with the Cricket and Football teams on campus. I have attended lots of different events from different societies on campus such as the Hindu Society and Bollywood Dance Society.<\/p>\n \u201cApart from the University and the Students\u2019 Union, Bradford has a lot on offer like the National Media Museum, The Alhambra Theatre and Cinemas. These were the things that kept me going on the days I would feel homesick. There were plenty of places to explore so it kept me busy most of the time and helped with getting over my homesickness in the first few months.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe overall student experience for me has been amazing. I had so many things to learn when I started at the University. When you travel all the way from India to a new country the cultural shock might put you off, but\u00a0the Students\u2019 Union<\/a>\u00a0has played an integral part in me becoming what I am today.<\/p>\n \u201cAcademia was always my priority but the kind of people I met through various volunteering opportunities organised by Students\u2019 Union has really boosted my confidence and given me an understanding that sometimes excelling in academics is just not enough. You have to have a variety of different kinds of experiences on your CV to make your student journey wholesome.<\/p>\n \u201cTo sum up, if I had to make a university-related choice again, I would choose Bradford in a heartbeat.\u201d<\/p>\n Learn more about the University of Bradford by arranging a free consultation<\/a> with SI-UK today.<\/p>\nUniversity of Bradford Student View<\/h2>\n
