Student review [#100647] for History
at University of Bristol

The University of Bristol strikes a strong balance between the social and academic aspects of university life. The Students’ Union and student services regularly share events and activities that help create a supportive environment for study, while individual departments organise initiatives that bridge the gap between academic subjects and everyday life. In my experience studying History, there are clear links between the course and the city itself, reflecting a wider, university-wide engagement with Bristol’s past. The only factor that has stopped me from giving Bristol a 5-star review is its well-known unreliability with accommodation. I would recommend that you carefully research private and university accommodation, and be prepared to be flexible/make sacrifices. Ultimately, there is no bad place to live, as long as you are in Bristol!
