Bath is Fantastic! I’m not too much of a clubbing person but I’m a big fan of the pubs and bars in Bath. The city has so much character and offers plenty of activities to cater to. Public transportation is never an issue, with buses running every five or so minutes, so I’m not seething when I miss one. While the roads are very tight and tricky, I feel encouraged to walk and explore the city and it makes walking around a lot better with beautiful architecture, solid infrastructure, and plenty of attractions to see along the way.

The prices for living and transportation are horrendous and not very student budget friendly. otherwise, the city is beautiful and has many cultural events and social activities on offer. There are many shops and restaurants to please various tastes and satisfy different needs.

quite expensive compare to cities I have lived in before

Nights Out

Despite being a relatively small city compared to Bristol or London, Bath packs a punch when it comes to nights out. There is a range of clubs with something on nearly every night of the week, suiting nearly all musical tastes. Try Second Bridge, with 2 club rooms, bars and a heated terrace or Moles, a live music venue. University of Bath Students’ Union also run their own club nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Public Transport 

Public transport is great although the city centre can get extremely busy with lots of traffic at peak hours.

Eating Out

Bath is best known for its buns and gin. Whether you’re looking to discover a new quick go-to place for after lectures or a place for celebration with your friends, Bath has got it covered!

Shopping

Bath has fantastic shopping, with a good mix of high street shops, designer outlets and smaller independent boutiques, and both indoor and outdoor markets. Centrally located in the city is the largest shopping centre, SouthGate Bath, which houses most of the well-known brands. Bath is also well-serviced by all the main supermarket chains, as well as Polish and Asian supermarkets.

2. Sub 13

With plenty of nooks to down your favourite tipple with friends, Sub 13 is a cellar bar with a cosy courtyard in the historic Edgar Buildings in central Bath.

3. The Dark Horse

A quirky, friendly nook of a bar serving a creative selection of cocktails and other drinks. Sink yourself into a large, leather Chesterfield sofa and enjoy their attentive service. *This is an over 21s bar.

4. Opium Bar

Featuring eclectic, sumptuous spaces, Opium serves up a boutique vibe as well as a wide variety of cocktails and beers. It’s worth seeking out this little gem...

5. Canary Gin Bar

Partial to a little gin? With a martini bar upstairs, the cosy main bar below serves up hundreds of gins and gin cocktails, including gins from their own distillery. Yum!

If you’re coming...

If you’re coming for the nightlife, I would suggest a different university city. It can get boring and repetitive. However coffee shops, the scenery and historical architecture is lovely. Shopping is expensive and there isn’t much to do unless you are made of money. it has been upsetting to see how the cost of living here has affected students and the locals of bath. Good for location and public transport, a lot of places are within walking distance and there is stuff to keep you entertained for free or lower costs if you find the right places and connect to people with shared interests, which hasn’t been a struggle for me and I have had a very fun time. read more

The main reason I chose to come to Bath was because of the city itself. In terms of cost of living Bath is definitely on the more expensive side.

Bath is a beautiful city to live in. However, much like the rest of the country it has been hit by the cost of living, meaning it can be expensive to shop here at times. There are apps though like TooGoodToGo that offer cheap food that would otherwise be waste, and there are plenty of locations in Bath that sell Magic Bags, meaning that eating is a lot more affordable. Bath also has a great variety of shops, and plenty of scenic locations that you can explore which are great for mental well-being (and taking pictures) read more

I really loved the city of bath. Beautiful city, lots of things to do, shops were great etc. Only thing I didn't like was that one of the reasons I chose to go to Bath was because of the 24/7 bus service and it turned out the bus service was not actually 24/7 but idk if that has changed because of Covid read more

Bath is the 2nd m...

Bath is the 2nd most expensive place to live after London. There are plenty of restaurants that hire may students as the cost of living is so high in Bath. Nights out are boring though, Bristol is definitely the place to be. It feels like in Bath everywhere closes at 11pm and one or two pubs or clubs are open. Loads of shops, loads of tourists. Best places for food is The Cork, Thai Hut. read more

One of the UK’s unsung cities - beautiful architectural landscape with a vast number of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. Eating out is exceptional with some fantastic restaurants. Nights out are slightly limited due to the city being quite small. Public transport is great although the city centre can get extremely busy with lots of traffic at peak hours. read more

Bath is amazing, beautiful and exciting. A relatively small city which offers everything you could possibly need. Yes it's expensive but it's worth it. Nights out are good but the venues are relatively small, you're better going to Bristol or London for a big night out which can be easily accessed by train or bus. Shopping and social activities are excellent as there is lots to do and see. In all, Bath is an incredible and beautiful city that has everything you could possibly need. read more
