Belfast

Good value for money and very cheap city n general for rent And entertainment so that’s always a big help. Good variety of night life options, and good variety of bars for all price points. The food is also good

Has definitely improved vastly over the past few years. Is still a small city without a huge abundance of things to do, but what it lacks in tourist attractions, it more than makes up for in character and history. Every street has a story to tell with a bar/pub that gives the biggest Irish welcome. Cathedral Quarter is the place to be on a night out, and most drinks are half the price you'd pay in a similar place in London or Edinburgh. Could definitely use some improvements in regards to transport, but there is a frequent metro and glider service that runs around the city, and you can get to most towns and cities in Northern Ireland from Great Victoria Street on a budget.

Belfast is a vibrant tourist city with so much to do. There are many great places to eat, from fast food to 5star menus. At night there are plenty of bars and nightclubs to enjoy, ranging from Irish bars to techno night clubs. During the day there are lots of things to see including the Ulster museum, the city hall and Victoria square. Victoria square also has lots of shopping to be done.

The food is Belfast is pretty good as they have lots of a selection of restaurants and I also enjoy shopping they have quite a lot of shops their could be a few more shops designer wear etc but overall pretty good their are quite a good few places to head on a night out for student limelight is pretty good for students so is laverys and your pretty much garenteed a good night out There are a lot of things to do in Belfast there are always events on cathedral quarter is another great part about Belfast is so qwirky and inviting always enjoy a night there

Variety of different nightclubs to choose from, shopping is all very close together so no walking long distances to get from one end to the other.

As a city with 2 universities in it, a night out in Belfast is always guaranteed to be good. With drink promotions on basically every night of the week, drinks are always a good price.

There's so many things to do in Belfast especially around the christmas period. Right now we have the Christmas markets which everyone is going round to, it is mostly food and drink which is fab but the best thing about them are the Dutch pancakes and steins. I don't have one uni friend who hasn't put up their insta of them holding a stein yet. Belfast is also home to many student bars and clubs which are very affordable and accommodating for students, most have one or two more popular nights where they have drink promos eg. lux have 'fat wednesdays' where they price shots at 90p!

Much cheaper than other university cities, decent nightlife and friendly people. Good food, decent shopping and many nightlife spots. Only major downfall is the public transport which is behind a lot of the other cities. However, for value for money, Belfast is great

Very cheap town to go out on brilliant value for money. Fantastic places to eat in castle court and great victotia square, small yet social town

Belfast is a lovely, vibrant student city with a wonderful focus on food, milkshakes and full Irish fry ups being a speciality! Transport is never really an issue with everything being in walking distance and also the added excitement of flying home! The only downside is the nightlife, which compared to England is much more modest and finishes much earlier with clubs closing generally at 2am. I would however overall really recommend Belfast as a cheap and cheerful student city

Really nice restaurants, take-aways, shopping centres and even some good street entertainment. Belfast is booming, although my one gripe is that Belfast's Primark hasn't been touched and no progress is being made on rebuilding it. Apart from that, I love it here!

The Metro service in Belfast is great - there are buses to basically all the suburbs and surrounding towns. The rail and bus services are good too, and they have good deals for students (1/3 off ticket price). Belfast caters for all tastes in terms of nights out - the Cathedral Quarter has some of the best pubs in town (I recommend the Duke of York because it has some good live music!) The shopping is really the best selection in NI, but could be better as it's quite spread out. In my opinion, the independent stores are the best (I like Octopus Garden for vintage clothes and Keats & Chapman for cheap books). There are SO many places to eat - from burger chains to quirky cafés (I like Nando's, Maggie May's and French Village). The majority of things in Belfast are value for money but you do come across some places that charge extortionate entrance fees or the like (TIP: the Ulster Museum is free to enter and has some really interesting cultural and historical exhibitions, it's worth a look) As for entertainment, most big concerts are held in Belfast, either in the SSE Arena or elsewhere - there is most definitely something for everyone.

Brilliant night life for students, clubs are reasonable in price and good value for money. There are many take aways and restaurants that have student friendly prices along with many shops which provide a student discount with the showing of a student ID. There are many new accomodation buildings within Belfast that give you a lot for your money.

Great food, especially the local food and markets. Plenty of shops and convenient regular buses with train station in the city centre. Some good music venues such as the odyssey arena and oh yeah music center. Generally most places to eat and shop in Belfast are good value for money, and plenty of things to see and do in your free time.

Belfast is a great city for multiple reasons. The big one that always springs to mind is the culture sector of the city. Belfast is an increasingly culturally aware city; the city even hosts a Culture Night once a year. And whenever it comes to shopping, Belfast is the best place to go. Whether you're old or young, male or female, Belfast is host to many shopping malls. Such as the all-famous Victoria Square shopping centre and Castlecourt. With a range of shops to visit, Belfast really is the place to be! People may be skeptical about going for a night out in Belfast, but may I reassure you! Go for a Pub Crawl with your mates. Go clubbing in some of the countries most famous clubs. Go on the newest addition to the city - the cycling bar! With all things considered, Belfast is one of the places to be!

Overall my university experience at Queens university Belfast was amazing. I made lots of new friends and even had the opportunity to do an Erasmus study abroad programme which was once in a lifetime opportunity.

The nightlife in Belfast is diverse you have cheesy nights that are played in clubs called lux and limelight, but it's fair to say techno has taken over with djs like mall grab and Dennis salta making appearances in the city weekly. The city centre itself is very modern and you will find everything you need and want in terms of shopping and refreshments. Although I do love that city, there's not much to do other than party and drink

Great time with so many nightlife areas to go to and great atmosphere. Also so many top good spots for food such as boojum and Maggie May's.

The Uni is in an excellent location, it's really close to the student union building which has three different night clubs, it's about a twenty minute walk to the main shopping district of Victoria square which is unreal. The shops and cafes aren't overly expensive, good value for money.

I like Belfast, as it is a small cosy town in Northern Ireland. Everything is quite close, so you can basically walk wherever you need to go . The student atmosphere is vibrant, and the local people are welcoming. The only downside: the weather!

I think the university is well located within the streets of South Belfast. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby. The elms accommodation is too far away though and parking is a nightmare.

Belfast is a great place to study for university. There is so much going on ranging from shopping to nightlife to tourist attractions. It's a really beautiful city to live in and it gets even better the more you explore and discover. It's fairly cheap in comparison to other places in the UK and Europe. The city itself is not too big nor too small, everything is within a walking distance. I really love that both queens and Ulster university is very central, either in or not too far from the city centre so you don't have to spend a lot on transport.

Good for nights out! Night life is amazing could ask for better. Plenty of nice venues for eating and Belfast is an amazing city just to explore. Loads of students do not sure of people around your age, there’s always something to do in Belfast never a quiet moment in the place, Some amazing history surrounding Belfast including the troubles and Titanic so if you’re into your history and lore Belfast can’t be beaten

Excellent education available along with okay transport in and out of city centre. Welcoming towards LGBT community despite the lack of marriage equality.
