Bristol
469 Reviews by Students #16 out of 80 University locations
Bristol is a place I will forever hold in my heart. With plenty of things to do during the day and night, Bristol always seems to be alive. Great music scene, great shops, great clubs, and great museums too!

Bristol Student Life
Bristol is renowned for its art, music and food scene, so you’ll never be short of places to go and things to do at all hours of the day or night. There is a large student population in this creative, diverse and vibrant city, so you’ll be well catered for.
Cost of Living
Bristol isn't too bad in terms of cost…
Bristol isn't too bad in terms of cost, there's a lot of good deals and opportunities for students. There's plenty of places to eat or spend a night out all days of the week. For first years, some bus lines are free which is convenient. Otherwise there's plenty of buses around the city to go anywere easily!
Bit on the pricey side…
Bit on the pricey side! Not as expensive as Bath or London, but definitely one of the more expensive cities to live in. Great music and entertainment scene.
Cheaper than London…
I love it here!! Many people say it’s expensive compared to wales or up north however I come from Cambridge and prices of living are very similar here as to what they are around that area. Cheaper than London
Not cheap…
Bristol's one of the best cities in the UK. Very trendy and although not cheap, variety, art, friendliness and culture make up for it.
Nights Out
Loads of places to go for a night out and the music scene is really good

Public Transport
Small enough city that you can get everywhere by walking... Public transport relies on buses which are moderately reliable. The introduction of the new Metrobus system has greatly improved efficiency and connectivity.

Eating Out
Image Credit
Reflecting the diversity of Bristol, you can find a huge variety of street food stalls in the permanent indoor and pop-up food markets at St Nick’s on Corn Street. No need to go travelling for it; let the food of the world come to you!
Image Credit
Not sure what you want to eat but feeling peckish? Wander down to Wapping Wharf next to the harbour to be overwhelmed with choice of independent eateries. Honestly, there are so many options, this page isn’t long enough to list them all!
Image Credit
Gloucester Road
A popular residential area for both UWE and UoB students, Gloucester Road is stuffed with cafes and restaurants. We have picked out 4 good ones who all base their menus on locally-sourced ingredients. For some brunch or lunch, try Bakers and Co or La Ruca. For a meal out or takeaway, check out Bomboloni.
Image Credit
Shopping
Here’s another thing that Bristol has in abundance: shops! Pick out a vintage bargain at the stalls in St Nick’s market or in one of the shops on Park Street or Gloucester Road. The vast and modern Cabot Circus houses a vast array of high-street and designer stores and is designed to make shopping a pleasurable experience. In Bristol, you are spoilt for choice!

Theatre Venues
Fancy watching a play? Head to the Bristol Old Vic, believed to be the longest continuously-running theatre venue in the English-speaking world. Or try the alternative Wardrobe Theatre in Old Market.

Art Venues
Ok, so this is not technically a gallery but take a wander round Bristol’s back streets with your eyes open and you will spot Banksy’s infamous street art, as well as loads of art by other street artists. Why not go on a walking tour to take it all in? Bristol has a thriving art scene so you’re spoilt for choice for galleries: check out Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, the Spike Island, Arnolfini or the Royal West of England Academy.
Image Credit
Museums
M Shed allows visitors to explore Bristol’s history through photos, film, stories and exhibits; it also has a steam train that runs along the harbour. Explore Bristol’s maritime and dock history aboard the SS Great Britain, the world’s first ocean liner, and climb the rigging for spectacular views of the harbour.

I have to say that MH improves my life quality in Bristol because I do not worry about any errands except studying! I am not concern about that my food was stolen cas there was individual fridge for everyone. I do not need to worry about clean in a week routine cas there was a timely and professional house keeping service every week. The apartment was so brilliant! Every friend who has visited my apartment praises here a lot and expresses their envy to me for the prompt service for any time once we need, even the gym and entertainment place underground. The staff, sorry I didn’t ask their name, but I appreciate them so much cas all of them take care of us all the year! I will recommended MH to anyone who are gonna come! You can focus on your stuff, learning, working, without dealing with any errands. read more

The city itself is great.

The transportation is a bit difficult, with many places being approachable by walking rather than public transportation (by bus the journey can take 40 minutes while by walk you can be there in 30.)

I think Bristol is a good place to live. Prices here are reasonable, common shopping shops and supermarkets can be found. If you live in the city center, you can walk almost anywhere you need to go.

Bristol is an expensive city, but you can budget and not spend too much. 2nd &3rd year housing can be expensive, but as long as you do your research you can find nice cheap places. There’s so many varieties of food, your dietary requirements will be fulfilled and the food is always good! The nightlife is amazing, everyone’s so chill and having fun and it’s such a vibrant city that there’s always something to do. Shopping is good too, there’s Cabot Circus and (a bit further away) Cribbs Causeway. I’ve always been able to find everything that I’m looking for. The buses are really prompt. There’s the U1, which is free for 1st year students, which goes from city centre to stoke Bishop. There’s also many train stations and the tickets are about £2 read more

because bristol is a city uni there is so many places to eat, go clubbing shop and there is plenty of busses that run till late at night and if not there is always uber. The cost of living is more expensive because its a city but id say it was pretty manageable to live on a budget. read more

Pretty expensive compared to other cities. Great for eating out, shopping and go out in the evening for drinks- the city centre has so many of these places! New (ish) shopping centre Cabot circus is great too.

an expensive place to live with high rent prices, could do with a higher loan as you get in London as rent is expensive. However it is a really beautiful and characterful city and I love living in city centre. I will say that the buses can be unreliable, with them sometimes being late, full or having to wait a really long time, but that may just be due to covid. read more

Bristol is infamous for it's living cost. Enough said on that, I think. Eating out is fantastic, huge range for all cultures and interests in food. Nights out, while I do not do them often/at all, I know from friends are fantastic. Shopping is also plentiful too, with Cabot, the Galleries, Broadmead, Park Street, Queens Road and Clifton. So much choice and variety! Public transport is plentiful but, in my experience, very unreliable and I try to avoid it when I can. Sometimes it is good though read more

For a muslim student like me halal food is not as widely offered as ai would prefer it to be. Moreover, Bristol’s nightlife ceases to exist cafes wise after 7pm, and all that is open is clubs and pubs which for a muslim like me not only is it not preferable to be in these places but also not drinking and being around people who drink is really not fun and completely awkward. I cannot stress enough how much of a social restriction and misery the no-drinking rule I live by has done to me. Nevertheless, I will always abide by it. read more

Bristol has been an important commercial port since the middle ages. It was only in the 1780s that it was overtaken by Liverpool, Manchester and Bermingham.

Bristol is a vibrant and multicultural city, as well as a commercial, educational and cultural center in southwest England. read more

Great place to live. My halls were in the city centre (Waverley House, Riverside) so I was pretty much in the middle of it all. Loads of places to go for a night out and the music scene is really good. Cabot Circus is really close if you're in the city centre, and Broadmead has loads of shops. Big ASDA is a 15 min walk away and there's a Tesco Metro in the city centre too. Loads of independent cafe's and places to eat out, especially round the harbour area. read more

VERY EXPENSIVE ON A BASIC STUDENT LOAN. My family only just come into the bracket where you can only get the basic loan of £3,300 a year - I can't even cover my accommodation on it. Nights out are good and varied, the house scene is also really good. A little druggy, but you can easily avoid it if you want. Dinner out is always good fun, there are student deals in almost every place you go to. Buses can get kind of expensive, and around rush hour in the centre it's often quicker to walk anyway. read more

Bristol's such a lovely city to live! It's got so much variety - from your normal shopping centre (cabot circus) to the harbourside, park stree, clifton village, the downs, the suspension bridge, Gloucester road and Stokes croft. It's not too big either, but still plenty to see and do! It's quite expensive, but I guess it's in the south anyway, and it's still a lot cheaper than London and the SE. There's always a lot of things going on, and there's a lot of things targeted at students too :) There's plenty of bars and clubs to suit all tastes, and loads of restaurents and stuff too :) I'm from Birmingham and honestly it is sooo muh better! Despite being smaller, there's so much more to see and do compared to Birmingham, which with the exception of a couple of parts of the centre, is just a big, dirty city. Bristol is so much nicer and more exciting! read more
