Wolverhampton

Ive lived just outside Wolverhampton all of my life. Two words spring to mind....dirty and dull. I'm 19 and wouldnt recommend the nightlife round here- more trouble than its worth. The Civic Centre and Little Civic play host to some popular names and there are some talented bands coming out of Wolverhampton. Nice art gallery, average shopping centre, average eating places.

Wolverhampton is not a place I would like to visit often. Yes, it has had millions pumped into it in recent times and the night life is very lively indeed - if you like this sort of thing. But..there's a side to Wolverhampton that cannot be ignored: crime, to the point where one can almost taste the atmosphere of rowdiness especially during evenings and weekends. It has become a haven for voilent crime and locals are ever fearful when they enter the town and its surroundings, i.e. the Park Lane area just down the road. I recently moved away because of such issues. Despite the large student base I do not feel that Wolverhampton is exactly ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Wolverhampton for all my life, and i think it is one of the most miserable towns in this country. It is dirty, smelly, has little for young people to do, and is run by a very elitist group of people. In short, Wolverhampton sucks. About the only thing going for Wolverhampton is the nightlife, whcih in recent years has improved somewaht, more so with the opening of the Litten Tree, Yates and the Canal. If you cannot be bothered to go to Birmingham, then Wolverhampton is not a bad place to be of a nightime, but other than that, it is pretty grim. The shopping facilities at Wolverhampton are again pretty abysmal, with the best shop in the ...  Read the complete review

Wolverhampton then. What is there apart from smog, a football ground and a load of students? Well quite a lot I would say. I came to Wolverhampton to go to university. Well, I transferred here from a far, far worse place than this! So what is there then. I'll begin with the obvious, Shopping! The city's centre is relatively large. There are two shopping centres, the Wulfrun and the Mander centre. They are joined together at some point, but still each have their own names! There's enough for the average shopper to be happy coming into the centre every Saturday. Shops such as New Look, Boots, BHS and Marks and Spencers are ...  Read the complete review

So what can I tell you about the place, let me see? This is my second year in Wolverhampton and I can seriously say I hate the place. Unfortunately I am a student here and I have got another year and a half to go before I can escape for good. I will not be returning if I can help it. When I first looked around the area I thought it was quite nice, big town centre, football ground (even though I am a villa fan!) and the university looked okay. I obviously didn’t look hard enough. Don’t get me wrong there are a few good things to say about the place, I’ve met some good friends here that I will probably keep for life. It has a good leisure ...  Read the complete review
