One anonymous poster on aggregation site Student Hut doesn't rate the city highly however. They penned: "Food's good but everything else is just like smackheads and big chavs innit so it's a bit sh**e tbh."
Another anonymous poster said: "Bradford gets a bad rep but it's actually decent place. Some beautiful views. Centenary square with the lights is gorgeous."
