Bristol

Great place to live easy to get around and much to do and see although public transport can be a pain, there’s always something happening somewhere at any day of the week so you won’t be bored

Is a nice and safer place to live, all shops could be found easily in Bristol. Living costs are cheaper than London, this is so great. However, lesser nice restaurant is available, and Bristol is a bit small so that sometimes it would be a bit bored.

Having come from London, I think Bristol is an absolutely fab city with loads of things going on, and can (and did!) happily live there. The shopping is good, with two shopping areas, one in the city centre, and another a bit further out. I think of it like a mini-London, so there's loads of interesting and quirky things to do, e.g. the cat cafe, board game bar, AirHop, and the tonne of live music anywhere and everywhere. The harbour is really nice for both the day and night time. The only small issue I have is the public transport, where busses take a round-about route and often take a while to arrive and get to places. I do sometimes miss the convenience of the tube. But at least they accept cash on the bus. And busses also run to Bath for really cheap tickets, so it's easy to have a day out and explore nearby places - as long as you keep an eye on the time and don't miss the last bus!

The city is just the right size to feel like a cool city but without the hustle and bustle. I've always loved how green and colourful it is; it has a very fresh and welcoming vibe. A walk along the hardbourside or a cycle along the Ashton path can lift anyone's apirits. There's always lots to so, from concerts to poetry nights to all the random festivals along the summer streets. I think what's best about it, though, are the hills. Yes, they can be a pain to climb on your way to work every day, but the views they give you! And man, do they keep you fit.

Within Bristol there are many different places to eat all varying in price and what they have to offer, as well as food it has some glorious street work that is on offer to see

Bristol has a good artistic atmosphere. Lots of beautiful artwork over the city including Banksy’s and a lot of historical buildings are preserved. Many restaurants and fun things to do like AirHop and mini golf. But it is an expensive city to live in, not too far off from the cost of living in London.

Bristol is possibly one of the best cities for students and young adults. It has so much to offer from great nightlife, food, regular transportation. Of course you have the shopping centre, Cabot circus, that has a range of shops, restaurants, cinema, and mini golf. Bristol is also a very diverse city and the combination of cultures is great. Would definitely recommend.

Really vibrant city with a variety of things going on at the same time. Great nightlife, food, entertainment and shopping.

Very nice place good nightlife but too many standard students that like ket, I enjoys the shopping a lot has a good range of clothing to show and beauty and himware to then restaurants will all different culture

amazing student city, have had a great first term. perfect balance of shopping, clubs of all sorts, bars, green spaces & restaurants. only downside is all the hills !

So much to do here. It's like London without the huge crowds and queues. There's something for everyone whether it's shopping at Cabot Circus or in the smaller local areas with fantastic markets. My favourite place it eat is ZaZa Bazaar which is down on the harbour and is an all you can eat place with food from all over the world.

City is very lively yet safe. Most student accommodation are in the city thus it's a very student friendly area. There are many things to see and events that are very inclusive.

Bristol is a great city for sustainability. It is encouraged here that you cycle, buy a reusable water bottle / coffee cup. It's also full of loads of independent shops which is great. Fantastic food and good bars and pubs.

It's a great city to be a student. The food is amazing but some meals and nights out can be a bit pricey. I recommend a walk by the harbour. Its a very friendly place to live.

It's a great city to be a student in. Some nights out can get pricey but the food is incredible and Cabot is a great place to shop. I reccomend a walk by the harbour.

Diverse creative city, amazing nights out, mr wolfs is great, lots of food places, good shopping centres. Had so much fun in Bristol when it comes to everything, everyone's super nice and welcoming, haven't had a bad experience yet!

Small city but so much to do. Very diverse night life, and can be pretty cheap So many amazing food places , especially burgers and taka taka. Cool vintage shops on Park Street , and Cabot Circus is amazing for shopping!

Bristol is a great city for all ages. If you're a student and not sure which uni to go to, Bristol has 2 great unis that have great facilities and the halls at UWE are amazing. The city it's self has a great atmosphere in the day and the night. In the day there is loads to do between the huge amount of places to eat that serve amazing food and are reasonably priced to going to the Aquarium or the zoo. The shopping malls in Bristol are also great they have almost every shop that you can think of so you have plenty of choice. In the evening, Bristols nightlife is on the same level as Cardiff, vibrant and full of life as well as cheap drinks. What more could you ask for.

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.

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.

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

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.
