Bristol

Frenchay is easy to access with the uwe express bus service but it is far away if you dont want to use the bus. Bower is in the very south of bristol so hard to access by an inconsistent bus service and a long walk. Everywhere in bristol is walkable however

There's always a decent night out in Bristol. There's so much to do and see that after 21 years I'm still not bored! I decided to go to uni in my hometown because after visiting other unis, I realised there's no place like Bristol! There's so many people to meet and things to do that you never get bored.

Great city, something for everyone, not so big that you would need to take the bus everywhere but big enough to not get bored. Loads of parks, the harbourside is really nice when the weather is good. Overall one of my favourite cities in the UK.

Bristol is a funky, individual place from the amazing graffiti of Banksy to the small independent resturants. There is so much to do and when you think you’ve done it all there is still more to do.

When describing Bristol the main word that comes to mind is ‘chill’. I know - how very millennial of me. But in all honesty Bristol is one of the most easy going cities you can come across. The green spaces, the abundance of cafes, the student atmosphere - even when uni work is getting me down the city never fails to make me at ease. This is all the more clear when (very occasionally) the sun decides to make an appearance, then the harbour is lined with sunbathers and the bars and cafes come alive with a buzzing atmosphere. That’s not to say the nightlife isn’t great though - from gig venues, to pubs, to clubs in warehouses, there’s really something to suit all tastes after dark.

Bristol is a great city with plenty of clubs and pubs. It’s also great for shopping, you will never be short on anything! The university is at the top of a hill which can be problematic if you’re walking from the centre to the uni however this isn’t much of a problem. Bristol is a lovely vibrant city with plenty going on.

One of the best cities in the U.K.! Great student city as well (as we have the 2 universities- Bristol and UWE Bristol). Nightlife is not too bad, there are many bars and clubs to go to for a night out and you can definitely find a club with the music you want to have a great time in. The city centre is great for things to do, see and to shop, it's not dull at at all and you have the Habourside and the Clifton suspension bridge to see

Night outs here are very good and the nightlife is amazing. My location in halls is perfect and close to everything like food and shopping.

I lived near the vet campus of the uni of Bristol down in lower Langford. It's a very pretty rural area and is much cheaper to live than Bristol itself. Unfortunately, that transport links are terrible and the uni doesn't do much to help leaving many students here feel isolated and left out. Going on a night out (which is fun in Bristol) could mean a 2 hour journey there and back, while driving would only be half an hour max.

Okay location, not too far from city centre and near a few shops. Next to the train station which is very useful and is not too busy an area. There are restaurants near by and lots of buses too.

there is so much to do in bristols, endless restaurants to try and so many bars for when the weather is nice and the city really comes alive, there is every shop you may need and a clean and oragnsued shopping centre

Great nightlife, a lot of variety of music to suite taste. Traffic can be painful but great bus links down Gloucester Road.

Great city to live in - loads to do, great student nights and there’s always some student discount and offers to be found, including the annual student night at Cabot shopping centre

Bristol is so quirky and buzzing. Never a dull moment & endless opportunity’s to meet new people. Very lovely.

A really maginifent city! It is really green and sun is shining a lot. Doesn't rain most of the time and the architecture is outstanding.

The most creative city I’ve ever seen, art is present everywhere which is perfect for an art degree as inspiration is endless. Nightlife is amazing as well as people go out for the music not just to pull never met anyone who doesn’t love Bristol!

Bristol is amazing, it has an incredible mix of unique districts. I feel as though the city has embraced me with open arms, the locals are so genuine and friendly, and there is a venue/event for just about anything that interests you. Outdoor lovers can enjoy The Downs provide space for any activity (including quidditch), and Leigh Woods and Ashton Court from beyond the Clifton Suspension Bridge, or even take a Bristol ferry trip to a rural riverside cafe. Music fanatics can experience live music every night across Bristol - free every evening at the Canteen!, as well as partake in open jams at a variety of open mic nights. If arts and crafts grab your attention, Banksy and Brunel can fulfill you, or you can take a more active role with knitting clubs at the Bluebird Tea Shop and drink and draw sessions at the Wardrobe Theatre. Ultimately, Bristol has it all... and more!

Bristol is a wonderful city to experience uni in, not too big as to feel lost in the masses but still has a lot going on no matter what you're into! With an abundance of festivals throughout the year, from the balloon fiesta to dot to dot and loves saves the day it's an exciting place to be.

Bristol is in a perfect location. Only 2.5 hrs to London a stone's throw away from Cardiff, not that you need to go to these places as there is plenty to do! The city has a lively feel but also feels friendly and I have no problem walking around late at night etc. A major plus (which I didn't consider when applying) is that Bristol has an airport which has allowed me to go on holiday several times with my friends. The rent is expensive but you get what you pay for!

I absolutely love Bristol. The city is so upbeat and has everything you’d expect from a city - clubs, bars, a huge shopping centre and lots to do. I love the quirky side of it with all the independent coffee shops or bars or thrift shops. Clifton is the best place for a weekend stroll and cute coffee stops. The university is bang in the centre of it all - close to all the shops, trains, buses and everything you need.

Bristol is amazing! Lovely city to live in with a great atmosphere! :) there are great shops and places to eat and drink!

UWE is a great univeristy. i may seem a little further out of the city centre than would be preferable but buses come regularly from Frenchay campus. I chose my uni based on what i had heard about it, the support they offer student, my course and Bristol itself. The city is full of things for students to do and there are lots of cool bars and pubs which offer great nights out!

Bristol is an amazing city, with a fantastic combination of history, art (banksy everywhere) and a variety of different environments like the harbour side and the suspension bridge. The night life is amazing, always a selection of good clubs to choose from and good student nights. Cabot circus provides plenty of quality shops. It is a relatively pricey city, though it's a compromise for the quality of life living there.

Nothing better then being in Bristol the people the atmosphere is what makes it what is it !!! Couldn’t fault it !! Amazing food and serious choice caters for all !! Great value for money honestly 10/10
