Bristol

Bristol is known to be one of the prettiest cities in the country, and I was not disappointed. I moved from a small town about 4 hours away from Bristol, so it was a big change for me. But I am so glad I did. I'm someone who enjoys scenery, tall places that I can stand at the top and admire the views. The Clifton Suspension bridge is one of my favourite places to be in Bristol. Theres so many different parts of it that you can stand and never get bored. I live very near the centre, and just above the bus station. So if I ever need to get anywhere it's pretty likely that it will be easy and quick. The buses run regularly, and there is a mega bus stop a five minute walk away from the bus station. There's also temple meads train station which is either a 25 minute walk tops, or a quick bus journey. It's never hard to get around Bristol which is something I love about it. There are a variety of different clubs around in Bristol depending on what type of music you're into, drinks, prices, location etc. It all depends on the type of person you are. Weatherspoons is the beginning of many students' nights outs, whilst also being a general place to eat, drink and catch up. There are many dotted around the centre. Depending on where you're going, spoons will quite probably be close to you. If you were to eat out in any city, I would definitely recommend Bristol. It's wide range of different restaurants gives you so many options. Cabot circus is full of a varied range of both shops and eating places, ranging from Nandos, KFC, TGI Fridays, YO Sushi and many others. I wouldn't say that Bristol is unreasonably expensive. However, if you wanted to stay in a hotel close to the city centre you're looking at large amounts of money whether booked in advance or not. None-the-less, if you wanted to be close to everything and be able to see all the sights quickly and efficiently I'd say it would b easier to book a hotel in the centre for your general benefit. But there are hotels, hostels and B&Bs a little outside of the centre that are less expensive but still give reasonable access to travel to where you intend to go. Being a student, I wouldn't say I have experienced the whole entertained section of Bristol, however I am aware that the hippodrome theatre is one of the main sources of entertainment in town. It's very close to a range of different pubs, bars and restaurants. Overall, I think that Bristol is a beautiful city and if you're ever considering visiting/moving I recommend it highly.

Uni of Bristol is in the centre of the city so there’s always something going on. Most nightclubs we within a 10 minute walk from the main campus and the shops are always open late as it’s city centre

Bristol is a great city to be in, vibrant and artsy, but with strong political undertones. It's a weird little city, being south West but with an edge side - it's a great place to be for music, from bands to drum and bass there's a bit of everything. I find as a vegetarian there's always somewhere new to try, and I love how multicultural it is! I come from Nottingham but lived In Cornwall for 4 years and I always describe Bristol as the perfect medium between the two. Only down side is the housing price!

I love Bristol! It is the most diverse city from the gritty depths of Stokes Croft to the classy heights of Clifton! There is so much going on in the city all the time and great array of independent shops, cafes and venues.

Great place to live, the whole atmosphere is ace. Don’t think I’ll leave. Pubs n bars are great and super fun.

Awesome place

Absolutely wonderful city for social interaction and student life, also has the facilities to get everything you need done in one place, wonderful location.

I adore bristol, there is always something crazy going on. I've met some of the most amazing people and I couldn't imagine not living here!!!

Great night out loads of drinks flowing and basically just a good laugh and the club's were great, lots of loud music and lots of drinks

Amazing city! Truly is something for everyone here. Have absolutely loved every second of living here! May rain a bit, but theres always fun to be had!

The music scene is mad, plenty of nights to choose from every week with an extremely diverse selection of genres being showcased by big names and upcoming local talent

Bristol may be small but it has so much going on you could never be bored, some people think of it as a countryside London. It's picturesque, you can walk almost everywhere in the centre within about 30mins. There are loads of different night out options, places to eat, shops and museums. Go to Stokes croft for a more hippie vibe with lots of independent cafes, shops and markets. Or, go to Clifton and see the suspension bridge with its amazing views and visit the serene Clifton village.

Bristol is the most amazing city to live in for people who love people. I believe it to be one of the friendliest cities in England. There’s a lot to do in and around the city, it’s impossible to be bored. There’s nothing like Bristol in the sunshine, whether you want to visit one of the cities parks, or take a walk up Stokes Croft and Gloucester Road. It’s an emersive place that feels like home.

Amazing city to live and study. Has everything you look for. Very different than any other city in the UK.

Nights are amazing Food is great Shopping there's Cabot circus and cribbs causeway Price wise it can be expensive

Great city, so much going on. Has everything you need without being too big. Lots of student-friendly places to eat and great nights out.

Bristol is an incredible location, and ticks all the boxes - provides great nightlife, places to eat, things to do etc. It is a beautiful city and you can easily fall in love with the place.

Bristol is a great place that is so accessible and happening. I enjoy how quiet it is where my flat is, giving me peace when I need to revise however when I'm up for a night out I can always head down towards the city centre where everything is reasonably priced and near by.

Beautiful city, plenty to do, hardly took any time to get to know the place and have it feel like home.

Lots to do, the shopping is amazing with a massive shopping centre. Lots of choice for food and most places have student discount. It’s like a mini London :)

Best night out in the UK. So many clubs, pubs and bars to choose, from the busy road of Gloucester Road to funky and indie places in stokes Croft to classier bars in White ladies road.

Great city, like a smaller london. Beautiful park, solid transport links, great culture and lots of student discounts

Real nice. Beautiful. Lots of shops. Lots of things to do. Not great value for money. But ok. Night life is. Good.

Amazing city with so much going on and so many things to do. Something for everyone no matter what your tastes. Lots of different places to go out at night and for food and drink it has all your favourite chain restaurants as well as loads of small independent bars and cafes
