Great place for nights out in places like Bushwackers or Tramps. There are loads of places to eat which aren't too expensive either which is nice. One big issue is that shopping is terrible due to navy shops just not facilitating the students needs.

Alway stuff to do! Go out to Tramps and enjoy the cheese room, go for a walk down by the water and feed the swans! Go grab a movie at the Odeon, or get a train to wherever you need!

Lots of things to do, especially on weekends. However, lots of things to do are on the edge of the city such as Meadowhall etc therefore hard to get to. Lots of cheap places to eat which is good for students but also a couple of expensive places.

If you're looking for a mad student night out worcester probably isn't for you. But if you're looking for a chilled city atmosphere and a night out where you know almost everyone then it definitely is, shopping is average but you're only a 45 minute train to Birmingham. Overall a pretty cheap but nice place to study

I go to Hereford arts University- Nights out are the only bad thing, there's about three clubs and the only student nights we're on freshers week. There are a lot of pubs that a lot of students go to instead of going out out to clubs. The food is the best thing, there's so many late night take outs and good restaurants to eat out, my favourite is Beefy Boys. Shopping isn't that bad but there isn't really any shoe shops like an office or schu. There's a variety of clothing shops that are good though. There's also a theatre that has student discount on film and shows which is very good value for money.

Worcester is a nice little city, you can walk from the campus to the centre of town very easily. Short cuts are easy to find and the people around are friendly enough for you to feel safe whilst walking alone. Shops and restaurants are everywhere, so all you have to do is walk a few feet and another place is there for you enter.

As a small university city it had alot to offer. I personally love Worcester. Nights out are fab although it could do with another alternative nightclub as its either Tramps or Sin then Bushies, and if you just go to Sin it shuts at 1am but is the better of the two. There is loads of places to eat, although alot of the same kinda food like italian or indian, but still some great places. The shopping is okay although there is a relatively limited amount of shops, although a quick train journey to Birmingham or even Bristol is fab. In regards of things to do there isn't much, you have the usual cinema, pubs, bingo however nothing else and the bowling is out of the main center.

Worcester is a lovely city that provides all you need without being to busy and hectic. The nightlife in Worcester is quite quaint but there are other qualities that make it a great cities such as the river and restaurants.

In Worcester the atmosphere is amazing with the shops and resurant always welcoming and would love to have new customers through the door trying their products and the food is amazing

Good fountains, great place to go on a night out with you son and bushwackers being the two main night clubs. Great cricket ground, watching the 20/20 at the county ground is a great nights entertainment.

This is a great place to get connections to bigger and better places for nightlife, I.e Birmingham, Bristol. But night life in Worcester is there, but simple. Only a few nightclubs and they're all pretty much mediocre. It's a good place I think for people who's never really experienced a busy bustling nightlife before and are just turning 18 as it allows a comfy environment, but with little exciting choices. The plus side it has "Hanbao", a pretty amazing burger shop/resturant that is actually worth the visit to worcester itself. Value for money is average, not as expensive as bigger city prices, but not that far from them. It has a lot more scattered bars and pubs which are actually very nice to go to, just the club side of things are generally simple and plain. It's a small city with not much too it, and is very reminiscent of just a big town. Not exactly a pretty place either. It has some shops and is quite okay for shopping but it's not amazing either. But if you're looking for a good, exciting, fun nightlife with many different experiences, Worcester is NOT the place for you.

Worcester is a gorgeous city, with fantastic views, exciting nightlife and activities I'd highly reccomemed. The Uni is situation all across the Worcester City area (all within walking distance) Its s great way to keep fit, get to know the place and meet new people. There's lots of attractions and local history. The Malvern hills are on the door step of Worcester and can be seen in most places in Worcester. I love it here.

Nights out in worcester are good during the week and on the weekend! There are s different variety of music selection in different bars and clubs which people can enjoy. The same goes for the food places, it is especially good because of the prices for students. But the shops limited, there’s H&M, Primark, Topman, Newlook Office etc. There’s everything to need for a small city in the day and at night, there cinemas, bars and deserts shops.

Worcester is a lovely city to move to. I moved from a small town and this was a brilliant city to move to. It is big enough to have lots to do, such as the cinema, shopping and walks, but you are also never too far away to get into the town centre from wherever you are. There's lots of restaurants to choose from with plenty of student discounts. There's some lovely walks along the River Severn and along the canal with plenty of wildlife to see. These walks also make good tracks for running along. There are three main nightclubs to go to and plenty of places to go for cocktails for a more chilled night out too.

Worcester is a small city, however it has all the nightlife a student would want as well as the shops and easy transport links. The campus is within walking distance to the city centre.

Worcester is such a beautiful city! The cathedral and river makes it a remarkable sight. There is a city centre nearby with quite a few shops who welcome students (I managed to get a part time job there too). Everything is really close together within 10 minutes walk. If you live in halls, uni is literally on your doorstep! I loved spending 3 years there, it’s such a nice, clean place that I would recommend to anyone.

Worcester has plenty of shops and places to eat. It has 2 cinemas (Odeon & vue). There is 4 night clubs in the city centre which has something on most nights. Beer is fairly prices with most pubs averaging £1.50 - £2.50 a pint. The city has cocktail bars although they're more expensive at around £8 a drink. There is plenty of super markets dotted around the city to make them available to anyone.

The location of Worcester University in relationships to the city is great only 20 minutes walk or you can jump on the bus for 70p. Allows for great access to the city centres for shopping , work and of course the night life

Worcester is a beautiful and vibrant city with amazing buskers on every corner to keep you constantly entertained. The night life is great with 3 main clubs situation around the city centre and multiple bars with various vibes to suit your mood. Food is incredible with restaurants and takeaways dotted on every street and you can hit the high street and back roads for a great days shopping. With two train stations and a large bus terminal, you’re able to get anywhere quickly and easily. The city itself is stunning with the river running through it to create a seaside atmosphere without the freezing winds. Our cathedral tops it all off with incredible grounds surrounding it and a riverside view.

It’s a small town with everything you’ll need. Nearly all the major chain shops and Superdrug’s here have walk in beauty bars. If you enjoy treating yourself to beauty treatments Worcester college here is within walking distance from the uni (and if everything else in town) and you can get super cheap treatments because the students are learning. The uni is not too big and so you begin to feel more homely here than you would in a bigger place like Birmingham which is only - half hour train journey away. There’s a premier in by the river so family members can stay if they want to visit.

Very friendly city with simple layout and shops students are most likely to visit - e.g. Primark, etc. Only criticism I’d have is most fashion shops shut earlier compare to other branches in my local area (which is a small town), are open for much longer.

Worcester town is a wonderfully pretty and functional City to live in. It's a rare combination of practicality an beauty in a well rounded way. The river is a treat to walk down, as is the well populated high street. There are many various places to eat, ranging from the cheapest to the most luxurious restaurants. There are some minor let downs. Hence not the full five stars; The roads are not great. I can deal with the one way system after couple of drives around the City centre. However, the roads simple aren't big enough for the amount of lanes required. There are places where a three-lane road simply cannot fit three cars side my side. Another small annoyance is that there aren't many clubs in comparison to other Cities. Though, I will say, it does feel a lot more secure a place to go out in terms of safety, with a nicer group of people and well policed area.

Reading is only a short train from London which is handy for a small trip there at the weekend. The town itself is big enough to have a lot going on, but not too overwhelming.
