Hi, I just got a job at TU Dortmund.
I was considering living in Bochum since to me it looks a bit more cultural than Dortmund. Is anyone else's opinion too or just a wrong impression based on football?
Would you also consider living in Essen or Düsseldorf for that matter?
Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.
Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.
Verglichen mit düsseldorf dortmund und auch kleineren städten wie braunschweig sind 2,5k pro woche echt unterirrdisch, und das für eine stadt mit eine der 10 größten unis deutschlands und fast n0.4 mio einwohenern.... echt enttäuscht
Hey Everyone,
After living for almost 6 years in Bremen, I recently moved to Bochum. I like the city so far but it would grow sweeter if I had some social connections.
I am 34M, married, no kids. I like swimming, watercolor painting, table tennis, casual gaming, and sometimes going for a beer or two. I am trying to be a bit more outdoorsy and to go to the gym. Also, I speak moderate level German (B2 maybe) and am working on it.
If you are also new in the city or would like to enlarge your social circle, please write to me.
Thanks!
