If we compare London with other cities like Scotland or Birmingham, which is safer?
Scotland is generally considered the safest option for Indian students, followed by Birmingham. London tends to have higher crime rates due to its size, so students need to be more cautious there.
Scottish cities offer lower crime rates and a strong community feel. Birmingham, while large, is typically safer than London overall. London provides many opportunities but requires extra attention to safety, especially in certain areas.
If safety is your main concern, Scotland is a strong choice. However, all cities have safe neighborhoods and campuses - taking usual precautions will help you stay safe anywhere.
