Living in Bristol as a student

Bristol itself was recently voted ‘Best Place to Live in the UK’ by the Sunday Times, who mentioned the fact that it was ideally located for both seaside and scenery, with a big city feel in a small location. They also praised the culture in the area, as well as lots of great food and drink – all big attractions for students.
Bristol is well known for being an independent city of culture, with something for you whether you are into music or museums – and it is also home to a thriving art scene as well. A little known fact about it as well is that it was the first city in the UK to be named as a ‘European Green Capital’. There is not only an abundance of nature and green spaces in the area, but it is also home to many creative industries too, such as aerospace, electronics, creative media and technology.
There is a rich heritage in Bristol, which is easy to explore. You could climb the tower of the Wills Memorial Building to experience wonderful views of the city, or go under St Mary Radcliffe Church to visit Captain Blackbirds Hideaway. You can even take a dip at Clifton Lido or go fishing at Chew Valley nature reserve. The choice is yours.
If the thought of all of this makes you thirsty, then don’t worry there are plenty of pubs and bars around where you can quench your thirst. In fact, you could say the nightlife in Bristol was legendary! Bristol knows how to have fun, and you will enjoy spending time at its huge clubs, karaoke bars and underground live gigs.
