Wolverhampton

[Artful]

Where is it? Is it a large town? What's it like re student lodgings (finding, renting...), does anyone know? I'd look this up but I'm rushing about looking up vocab on the subject before I dash off to give a friend's daughter a bit of a hand with her phone calls...

She goes to Wolverhampton in October for a year. So thanks again for any help.

I work in Wolverhampton. It is in the West Midlands near to Birmingham and walsall. It is fairly large town, approx 26 square miles and has a population of around 240,000. There shouldnt be any trouble getting student accomodation as there a few campuses around here. Try here:

Hope it helps.

Thanks for being so fast, goodsmeister. I've just sent the address on ahead of me as I don't have time to take a closer look if I want to get to theirs on time. Isn't e-mail a wonderful thing.

Meanwhile if you think of anything else, you know where to find me. Cheers mate!

As Peter doesn't seem to be around, it is time for another pedant.  Wolverhampton is a city, not a town.

er no I'm here, and I worked in W 20 years ago. Paired with St Omer and named after St Wulfrun I seem to remember.

Situated in the Black Country called as a result of the grime. Very pleasant and helpful people. I enjoyed it. The accent is even worse than Brum, however the people are so nice, even that becomes attractive !

I went there once and it was a bit shady
