Joining a community All residences have student representatives who help to organise events and student-led activities throughout the year, such as fancy-dress nights, pub quizzes and all-day music festivals. You will be able to suggest events to your representative and take an active role in organising them.
The Active Residences programme recognises the importance of regular exercise to help reduce stress, maintain physical health and improve concentration. Each residence runs a programme of free fitness classes, including self-defence and yoga, and an outdoor bootcamp session to help you stay fit and feel good. There is no membership fee and classes are suitable for all fitness levels, with a range of activities to suit all tastes. Find out more at
bristol.ac.uk/sport.
If you plan to live at home or in private accommodation, you will have plenty of opportunity to meet new people at the University’s events. Brunel, the student network for students living outside of halls, organises socials throughout the year. Representatives from your residence will take part in Students’ Union Council meetings, help you get involved with projects in halls and the wider community, and introduce you to University-wide initiatives such as HEETs – student networks that collaborate on environmental and ethical issues.

After your first year
Most students move into private accommodation after their first year. The cost of renting privately will depend on the size, quality and location of the property you choose. The most popular areas for students are those close to the University: Kingsdown, Clifton, Cotham and Redland. If you are willing to venture a little further out you will find cheaper rents. Costs vary between £300 to £500 per calendar month per person, living in a shared house; £400 per calendar month plus bills is the average you can expect to pay.
Accommodation advice and support Our Accommodation Office can help you find somewhere to live and can offer advice on University and private accommodation throughout your time at Bristol. We provide specialist advice, for example for students with disabilities or with young families. We continue to invest in our residences and will do everything we can to make sure you feel at home throughout your time at Bristol.
