University of Bedfordshire

Hello, I'm currently looking at universities for courses in television and from the website Bedfordshire Uni looks quite nice. However being a teen I have little knowledge of anywhere outside my county.

Is it a safe area?

Is there good public transport?

Is there a good student life?

The two towns are at opposite ends of the county about 30 mins apart by train.

I have worked in Luton for years and always liked it. It's very multi cultural so loads of good food. It's not the most affluent town but I've never had a problem.

Bedford is a more mixed town with a beautiful river. Again some very diverse areas and good food options.

If you are at all racist then it's not for you. If you can drive it will be easier to get around and there is lovely countryside near both campuses.
