Bristol allowed me to grow into the person I am today, there is so much opportunity: through an abundance of student jobs, all the societies you could ever imagine, internships and being lectured by masters in their specific field. Not only does the university provide a plethora of new experiences, but the city itself is also pure joy. It is over-flowing with culture, things to do and beauty, there really is something for everyone (including your parents when they come to visit), if you're looking for your typical student nights out then there are definitely many of those around. If that is not something that interests you then what about a live poetry slam or intimate gig or life drawing class or simply watching the stars from Brandon Hill. It is a city filled with discovery and it will help you discover more about yourself whilst you're at university. Obviously, there is some work that has to be done whilst at university (unfortunately! ) so be prepared to balance work and play because I would be lying if I said it was easy.

OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING Tell us about your overall university experience so far. I love university life, my subject & would love to commit to studying for a Doctorate too, but there are just too many financial implications & it is far too difficult to get the required reading done for masters seminars with a 4 year old. I should have waited until he was older, as its not achievable alongside caring responsibilities, work (i currently have 2 part-time jobs) or constant job searching as in year 1. I may enter an EdD in my 50s (over 5 years away) when he is older & I have re-qualified as a Teacher as I could get a bursary for a PGCE. The reading load is fine if you're 24/5, Chinese & have no commitments in the UK other than studying while living on / near campus, but not otherwise & we study the units at the same pace 200 hrs in 10 weeks per unit, should be a separate part-time programme with 20 weeks per unit for part-timers with caring responsibilities or a job.
Additionally, the bus is super safe as it is a uni bus, meaning pretty much only students are on it. For this reason, it is perfectly safe to get alone after a night out or whatever if necessary. SB is known for being the most sociable and, although I might be biased, from what I've seen, it definitely is. The majority of my course and society friends are from SB and it definitely makes it easier when it comes to seeing them regularly (especially if they aren't in the same halls as you! ). At the end of the day, you will be happy wherever you go but I cannot recommend SB highly enough. I think that from it you gain much more of a "uni experience" as it is virtually a campus, where you are wholly surrounded by students. Good luck! hi thanks for your reply! think i'm leaning towards SB now and probably self-catered Hiatt Baker, re the self catered how far away are the nearest shops/ supermarkets? Like does being self catered make life pretty difficult for you? also how likely are you to see people from other halls when you're in SB.
I would certainly apply for SB over the city. The city apparently does not have a university feel, unlike SB which is surrounded by thousands of students. Furthermore, many international students live in the city, who tend to corrugate together in their own groups. I know of three students who pretty much instantly moved from city to SB. Rough outline of accommodations THIS YEAR (changes each year) in SB: Wills - Posh stereotype, not actually that posh. Very scenic with great student bar, with free pool table, and full size snooker table room. Either love it or hate it. Churchill - The poshest. Go here if you like sophistication and know others going. Hiatt Baker - Nice, more typical student halls. Normal people, decent bar, many students. Badock - This year quite posh people who tend to stick to themselves, rooms are relatively small but not bad. Popular bar. "Edgy". University Halls - Never been. Cheap, decent people. Know a few who have gone there, seem to like it. You pay for what you get.
