Nottingham
Life Quality: 7 - Depends where you live. South of the Trent (towards South West sort of way) in the Rushcliffe Borough is pretty posh, and nice little towns and villages. That's where I live. It was also rated the 14th best place to live in the UK. The South West of Nottingham is a massive Council Estate full of chavs and benefit cheats. City Centre is really nice. Surrounding areas are a shit hole. North of Nottingham is a shit hole too. North East sort of way is a nice area. It's still class as the City but the houses are nicer, less foreigners, and there's a few nice villages scattered around. North West sort of way is shit with the exception of Woolaton and Woolaton Park, where a scene for the new Batman film was filmed. If you're interested in coming to Uni here, the Uni's (Trent - City Centre, Main one - Beeston) are actually in quite nice areas. The accomodation sort of places for the main Uni don't look great but the area it's in is safe and fairly nice in parts. (Nottingham Tennis Centre is literally on your doorstep too). For Trent Uni, I guess you'll be in apartments in the City Centre and some look pretty new and modern.
Attractions: 5 - We have a Robin Hood statue, a Brian Clough Statue, 2 football grounds, think you can tour Forest; not really worth it though unless you're a fan, Cricket stadium, a shit festival in July called Splendour, an Art Gallery, some Gallerys of Justice thing, and not forgetting, Nottingham Castle.
Things to do: 9 - I'm basing this on the sort of things you lot would actually be interested in. We have an International standard cricket ground where England play tests and internationals a lot of the time. 2 Football League teams; one of them being former European Champions. Capital FM Arena; for Gigs and Ice Hockey games. Public Skating too. 3 Ice Rinks in total there. Loads of places to eat. There's about 7 subways all within 1 mile of each other in the city centre too. The Cornerhouse, a modern complex with a Cineworld, Casino, Nightclub, Nando's, Bella Italia, Pizza Hut, TGI Friday's, Chiquitos and various other restaurants and bars, aswell as a hairdressers. Also in the City Centre we have Rock City. Usually gigs for smaller acts going on there (you get some decent people there though; i'm seeing Ed Sheeran and Example there soon). It's also a sort of club popular for Teens with Indie Nights and stuff. The town square always has something going one; alot of food stalls usually with differents foods from around the world (Greek stand is the best), in the Summer it gets transformed into a beach, in winter it gets transformed into a winter wonderland/German market, with an outdoor ice rink and loads of Bratwurst Stands, and in spring there's the 'Nottingham Eye', a pretty pointless wheel which allows you to see the wonderful delights of Inner City areas such as St Anns. Further out of the City Centre and there's the Tennis Centre over the road from Nottingham Uni, a Megabowl near there too and a Showcase Cinema, Nando's, Frankie and Bennies, and Chiquitos. Also, Nottingham is renowned for having one of the best nightlifes in the UK. If you're gay, we're also home to the largest gay club in the East Midlands. And for any desperate individuals, a late night drive down Forest Road (just north of the City Centre) will satisfy any sexual needs for a sum of money.
Standard of Girls: 4 - Towns basically full of walking Primark manikins. You do get quite a alot of good looking girls though, but there's a lot more munters than fit ones.
Difficulty of pulling girls: Average and Munters: 10. Fit girls: 1.
Quality of football team (If any): Forest 7, Notts County 5

Yeah motherfuckers
