AIBU to ask you to tell me where I should move to?

I am a medical student about to start my final year of university in September.

In our final year of university, we have to rank where in the country we would like to have our first job out of uni as a doctor.
(The better you do in your final exams, the higher the chance that you get given the region you've ranked highest.)

The UK is divided up into twenty regions for ranking purposes, which this map shows.

However, there are so many regions on that map that I have got no idea about in terms of what it is like to live there! So I thought I'd ask the lovely people of Mumsnet.

Perhaps you think the area you live is the best place in the UK or perhaps there's an area in the UK you wish you could move to that you could suggest to me?

Important points:
-I will be 26 years old, and I have no children and no partner, so I have no particular part of the country that I need to be.
-I am at university in London currently and would quite like to experience somewhere other than London.
-I cannot and will not be able to drive for medical reasons, so a region with good public transport links within it is vital.
-Someone I could afford to buy a house in one day would be great!

• You rank the regions, but don't get to pick which city/town within the region at this stage, so a region with lots of lovely towns/cities in would be ideal, rather than a region with one great town but the rest awful.

If you were me and the UK was your oyster (apart from needing good public transport), where in the UK would you rank first and why?

Just to add for those who might say Cambridge housing is very expensive, it is but they have built SO much accommodation for people affiliated with Addenbrookes. If you are single and just want somewhere nice and modern where you can go and socialise easily etc, it’s ideal.

I think it has to be West Midlands central or London. Everywhere else has hospitals dotted about the region.

Posters that are suggesting places with good public transport aren't factoring in the fact that the OP will have to travel to and from work at all sorts of weird and wonderful hours. It's a pain in the neck even if you drive.

Public transport is very limited overnight so the OP would have to rely on UBER or similar.

Brilliant advice everyone, thank you. Yes the problem with suggesting specific cities is I have to apply to the region and simply hope I get allocated to that city, but could of course get allocated to an isolated rural hospital in that region. So just something important I have to remember. The advice has given me so much food for thought, thank you!
