Birmingham

With an area covering 103.4 square miles and a population of over 1 million, Birmingham is the second largest city in England. It is the most multicultural city in the United Kingdom, with a White population of only just under 70%.

The site of Birmingham was founded in the 6th Century by the Anglo-Saxons, but it didn't become a city until 1889.

Birmingham's motto is "Forward", and nicknames of the city include: "Brum", "Brummagem", "Second City", "City of a Thousand Trades", and "Workshop of the World", as it has been the site of many industrial inventions and revolutions throughout history. Natives of the city are known as "Brummies".

Birmingham has many sports teams, including two of the oldest professional football teams in the world. Birmingham City FC, Aston Villa FC and West Bromwich Albion are the three biggest football teams, for rugby union there is the Pertemps Bees and Moseley Rugby Club, for cricket there is Warwickshire County Cricket Club, and for basketball there is the Birmingham Panthers (formerly the Birmingham Bullets).

Although it is England's second largest city, it has the lowest crime rates than the other eight major cities of England (London, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds and Newcastle).
Birmingham is a wonderful and interesting city, which was once notorious for its uglyness, but since the 1970s the city has transformed into an attractive modern city, thanks to Birmingham City Council's urban redevelopment projects.

Nice areas - City Centre, Sutton Coldfield, Bournville, Harborne, Hall Green, Moseley.

Areas to avoid - Aston, Bordesley Green, Small Heath, Handsworth.

Birmingham Southern College

WHAT SAMFORD WISHES THEY WERE.

Beautiful, calm place where students are really smart and work hard for what they get.

But it's true -- they have a lot of money.
No, but really. A lot.

But it's cool. They're great people and know how to PARTY HARD! After a week of working their butts off, I'd say they deserve it.

Definitely the BEST SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA.

Unlike Samford. Where I go. BOO!
SAMFORD KID: I HATE BIRMINGHAM SOUTHERN COLLEGE! THEY'RE SO FULL OF THEMSELVES.

UAB KID: BITCH! DON'T BE HATIN' JUST CAUSE YOUR ASS WASN'T ACCEPTED!
