Where is a good place to live in England?
I am from California and might be moving to England to go to Nursing school after my Bachelor's degree to get my Master's. I have been to London once but I live in the suburbs ( 30 minutes away from Los Angeles) so I don't really want to live in a major city. Where is the best place price-wise for a young adult/student (crime rate, employment, housing, etc.) that could be a short distance from London or other big cities? I heard that Manchester is great. Could anyone elaborate? Any more thoughts on that, as well as other suggestions? I said any city that could be great for students (price, crime rate, etc.). Not necessarily by London or London itself, but I can always take a train to visit there as well.

Do you want to live near London? If you do Manchester is nowhere near it. Well in general the bigger the place the higher the crime rate. Manchester is known as gunchester, no need to elaborate further... the north of england is the cheapest place to live, Newcastle is a great city, not too big but big enough not to get bored. Geordies are the friendliest people in England I find. Again though nowhere near London, that's a good thing in my book though.

Nursing school as in as part of a hospital? You could try Addenbrooke's in Cambridge. It is one of the biggest teaching hospitals. Cambridge is a nice place to live, quite a small city and many people from all over the world go there to study and live so it is very interesting. London is about an hour away by train, so not right in the big city but not right out in the sticks either.

Cumbria is the place you have described but we are a long way away from London or any other major city.
