Villa Park !!

Football is one the most popular and well known sports in the world. Basically The first football league is founded in England. Becoming major football league in the world. If you particularly interested in football, you definitely have many chances to see football matches in Birmingham. 

There are two major football clubs in Birmingham. Aston Villa is one of the oldest and most successful football clubs and the other fierce local rivalry is Birmingham city. Personally I prefer Aston Villa F.C so I did go Villa Park for big match of Aston Villa VS Man Utd.

My seat was for Aston Villa supporters so I should cheer for Aston Villa!  If you are considering to watch Premier league, you should careful about selecting your seats(it is clearly divided by teams)

Otherwise, security guy will come to you and escort to exit if you cheer for the opponent team.  Additionally you can get a student discount offer for ticket so please keep your Student ID when you book the ticket!

Trip to Oxford and London

Birmingham is located in the centre of the UK. So you can go anywhere relatively lower prices 

compared to other places! Furthermore, Aston university is not only very close to Train station(Birmingham moor Street is just 6mins walking distance) but Coach station is not far from the campus as well(10 mins from the campus). Personally i strongly recommend you to reserve ticket in advance(it is much cheaper than purchasing on site). Anyway, i did go Oxford and Cambridge and London this time.

 Above and below pictures are the christ church in oxford!! This place is very famous filming  location of Harry Potter!! Generally Oxford is quite busy in the weekends. If you don't like crowded place you should consider it to go on weekdays.

London just takes one and half a hour if you takes Train. Personally, i go London quite often because there are many attractions such as Madame Tussauds British museum etc.. It's hard to narrow it down to  explain why i go london that often haha. Anyway, i am quite satisfied the location of the campus due to quite low trip costs.
