British universities have no official rankings, only newspaper rankings, and even the top ten schools will often go in and out. Generally speaking, the top 20 schools in Britain are very good. Besides, in Britain, the choice depends on the strength of university majors. Hull is an ordinary university in Britain, not a difficult type to get into. Hull's business in Britain is average. It's up to you to decide according to your own conditions. Hull's learning requirements are still very strict, not copying other people's papers.

For a long time, Hull has been the gateway to the European continent. People can get here by water on the world's largest cruise ship, or by plane at Humberside Airport. Other tourists who come to London by through train will cross the Humber River Bridge (once the longest suspended structure bridge in the world) and reach the unique Hull City in the world. The residents here have a slightly dry accent. They are friendly, warm and modest but proud of their city.

Hull is a changing city, and its culture and art are being revived, especially the relics and architectural styles during the great voyage. More and more museums have been built here, most of which are open to visitors free of charge. More and more bars and restaurants are constantly opening, various shops are constantly changing their facades, and various art galleries are emerging one after another. People can enjoy jazz, salsa, beach music, ballet, opera, symphony, poetry reading, watching football, ice hockey and rugby matches. There are many traditional cuisines to choose from, such as sashimi, Yorkshire pudding, and many new cuisines with good quality and low price.

The pioneer of change is "profound", the only underwater museum in the world. This museum was designed by Sir Terry Farrell, a world-famous architect. Unique glass structure, colored cement and aluminum structure are all classic creations. The underwater museum is as important to Hull as the famous Guggenheim Museum is to the Spanish city of Bilbao.

Profound is not only a place to attract the audience's attention, but also an education and R&D center.

The audience can see stingrays, moray eels and 15 different kinds of sharks, including the only pair of green sawfish in Europe. This kind of sawfish is considered to be half shark and half chainsaw fish because they have a long, protruding mouth full of teeth. In Easter 2005, the "Shensuo" will open a new "twilight zone" to showcase the magical things in the animal world, including the giant Japanese spider crab, wolf eel and Pacific octopus.

This bar is located in the "beer area" of Hull, just like bars such as "Yeold Black Boy", serving fruit wine and fresh beer.
