Bristol

Bristol is a fun city with lots to explore from the graffiti art in Stokes Croft to the harbour side restaurants with an amazing view of the harbour. There are a variety of food from around the world located in every corner of Bristol. There are plenty of night out choices in the city, depending on the music you like. Overall, a great student friendly city with a real sense of community feel.

I am a postgrad student at the University of Bristol. Right after arriving here, I absolutely fell in love with this city. This city is full of greenery. It is fun to walk around the Cabot circus and try different cuisines. The nightlife in Bristol is in one word, Great!! The transportation is good too. All in all, this is a perfect place to live in.

Very nice city, awsome things to do, best nightlife, good wether, university is good. I love river side and harbourside and its bars. Expensive accomodation, nice VS shop, nice Michael Kors shop.

Amazing nightlife always so mych going on! Really pretty areas such as Clifton and Redland with amazing areas, and the city centre has lots of cool vintage shops and cafes. It's a great place to live as a student and I've made loads of great memories here.

Bristol is a city of many different attributes, one minute you eating at ZaZa Bazaar to clubbing in Pryzm right outside

Bristol is brill!!! So beautiful and exciting so walk around all times of the year and always new places to discover and hundreds quirky of tasty food and drinks places to try that aren't too pricey! A vibrant and creative exciting city!

Bristol is a great city, despite its reputation for being really rainy the weather it not that bad! There are many clubs to go to depending on what you like, there are the big ones like Pryzm. SWX, Motion and Thekla but there are smaller ones on the Triangle as well. There are so many places to eat out whether it's in Cabot, Clifton, Harbouside etc. Cabot circus is such an amazing place for shopping! You have everything from Nee Look to Harvey Nichols. Would 100% recommend. Transport isn't amazing but it's not awful either, there are a few buses that tend to run late but so far not to the point where it's a massive inconvenience!

Bristol has a lovely vibe, as a student city there is so much going on and plenty of places to try out! There's plenty of things to get involved in

The best night life and music scene, including pubs, clubs and bars- whatever night you're looking for Bristol can cater for! A larger music venue for bigger acts is needed though. Cabot circus provides great shopping facilities and plenty of places to eat as well as Gloucester Road which offers great independent shops and places to eat/drink. Reason for 4 stars overall and not 5 is because the public transport is a joke (slow, unreliable and expensive) resulting in congested roads.

I absolutely love Bristol, moved here about 4 years ago and I'm not going anywhere. Public transport link is good and most of the time reliable. There is huge range of places to eat and to party. The atmosphere is great and people are friendly. Love it!

Bristol is a vibrant city full of street art and independent culture. It's got great night life with a large d&b scene but also a huge variety of music from funk&soul to baseline to pop. There's two decent size shopping areas with a big variety of shops and plenty of restaurants and bars. One thing that lets Bristol down is the public transport, expect your journey to take double the time the first bus app tells you it will take and expect at least one of your busses to be delayed or cancelled daily. Although Bristol markets itself as a cycling town I would say that the majority of the roads are not actually very bike safe. Also the design of the cycle lanes is ridulous, they are on the pavements and aren't painted a different colour or made easily distinguishable from the pedestrian area in any way, meaning people step in front of bikes daily. Apart from the transport issues, Bristol is a wonderful fun place, big enough to stay interesting, small enough to feel like home very quickly.

Bristol is a beautiful city! There's an abundance of activities offered as well as many fascinating places to eat and visit. Millennium square is gorgeous and offers many restaurants and bars. During Christmas, they open a small Christmas market and ice skating rink. Broadmead shopping center is where the larger Christmas market is and offers a variety of different food and drink options. Bristol is a very unique and energetic city. It offers the city feel yet it's cozy at the same time. Bristol offers something for people of all ages and activity levels.

A beautiful town with lots of attractions and events going on all year round. Popular shopping mall: cribbs causeway and Cabot circus are definite go to.

Strong variety of food and entertainment. Can eat from different parts of the world everyday! So many veggie and vegan options also! Most of the food is reasonably priced however drinks are very expensive. Music scene is buzzing, every night there is something different. Great opportunities for up and coming artists with an abundance of open mic nights. Buses are over priced for students however they are frequent and mostly reliable.

A beautiful, vibrant city which effortlessly merges the edgy street scene of banksy and stokes croft with the more regal sights of Clifton and the bustling city centre. With an excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars, clubs and pubs, you would be hard pressed to find yourself with nothing to do. The city is also extremely safe with a very low crime rate. I have never felt in danger here, even alone at night. The city is extremely student friendly with a very large student population. It can get a bit pricey, but this is truly the only downside of a wonderful city.

Bristol is a large, vibrant, divers city at the heart of the south west, with everything from food to shops

The city centre is full of cheap, good quality food deals if you know where to look, especially with a student card, and there are a lot of independent shops/cafes. If it's warm, go sit out on the Harbourside by the river and have a beer!

Bristol is such a young and vibrant to city to live in. There will always be activities/events going on in the town every week. The people in Bristol are friendly as well.

Bristol is the most vibrant city and perfect for student life. On one hand, there are millions of pubs and bars (all quite cheap), and also bigger nightclubs with themes nights like ABBA, spanish reggaeton nights or with guest DJs (tickets are also quite cheap especially if you get earlybird). On the other hand Bristol is full of cafes or nice cozy places to go for brunch/lunch where you can even stay to work or study. The uni also has in my opinion the best study centres (Ive seen a few from other unis) and one of them offers a full meal for 6 pounds at the cafe that changes everyday (and have fish, meat and vegeterian options). There is also a really cool market every Sunday in the cuty centre that sells all types of food (asian, spanish, american, desserts). As for shopping... you can find ANYTHING in the shopping mall Cabot Circus and the surrounding area of broadmead. The city is also full of vintage shops dotted around, although some are quite expensive.

Most likely the best area to be for a uni student, the city itself is just completely full opportunities, great people and amazing places. The university itself is the most helpful and reassuring place I've ever been to, which has made it great. The nights out are something else, honestly they're just the best I've ever experienced.

Great place to live, really unique! Plenty of restaurant, my favourite being zar zar. Lots of choices for vegans. Just be careful where about a in Bristol you go as St. Paul's and Gloucester Road are known to be quite rough. Other than that I love Bristol!!!

recently moved here for the university. lovely city. both modern and historical. so many places to discover. love how busy it is. always something to do. only downside is poor public transport :(

Christmas market is beautiful and the shopping centre is gorgeous love the layout and how much variety of shops they have there I love the green scenery and huge train station 🚉
