Bradford is not an expensive place to live and you will be happy in this historic city - now a cosmopolitan tourist city and home to the UK National Photographic and Film Museum.  

The cost of living is not high in Bradford and you will find excellent accommodation in a city that welcomes thousands of students each year. Food is also good, cosmopolitan and affordable and we have excellent supermarkets and a good transport system that will take you outside the city into the beautiful Yorkshire countryside and villages.
It is home to the National Photographic museum and we have several new cinema complexes. Leisure and sports facilities are excellent in the city , as well as in some halls of residence. There is so much to do and to see here - and at the most affordable prices in the UK.
