The city centre is totally pedestrianised and harbours some quality shopping and dining areas, mainly residing along Broadway. Often referred to as the Curry Capital of Britain, for its many excellent curry houses, Bradford also offers a large collection of pubs, bars and nightclubs; not to mention the huge multiplex cinemas.
Student Loans
Bradford University is allowed to charge new, full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for a student loan to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Student loans are the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
