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 complex on the outskirts with a great multi screen cinema. The best thing about the place is cheap pub grub. There are many places to eat in the town centre for very reasonable prices.
Unfortunately the list of bad things about the place is much longer. I live in a really rough area with rows and rows of terraced housing. I have become used to the daily routine of police sirens and burglar alarms. I won’t go anywhere in the dark by myself, and even feel nervous walking around in broad daylight. Only the other day did I see about five police cars down my street for one incident. The city centre is good for shopping but you can’t go anywhere without seeing beggars everywhere, big issue sellers on every street corner and preachers shouting their hearts out outside McDonalds.
I think the best thing about the area is the train station. I have used the trains a lot more than I thought I would as I get out of the place as often as I can.
You may be thinking it is like this in every city but all the ones I have visited are far more desirable than Wolverhampton.
If anyone is considering moving to Wolverhampton please rethink. If you insist on still coming make sure you stay in a good area and be careful at all times.
I used to hate my hometown Grimsby but know I think it is great
having experienced life in Wolverhampton.
I am sorry if I have offended anyone in this opinion but I am just writing from my heart. I haven't seen every part of Wolverhampton and I agree there must be some good parts, all I can say is they must be well hidden!
