Excellent night life + gay scene. Also lots of excellent art events (markets, little arthouse cinemas, museums) if you're so inclined. Not crazy-busy, for a city.

Welfare services were fantastic with me, fast-tracked my transfer to Student Health Services and got me a same-day appointment. Tutors and lecturers have also, as mentioned, been very supportive and down-to-earth, even in their criticisms.

Incredibly easy to reserve, borrow, & auto-renew books through the library system. Some 24-hour libraries too, which...

University of Bristol open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
