Congratulations! You’ve got a place on a course through clearing and you’re going to university; but what happens next?
Well, the first thing you need to do is accept the offer of study sent to you by the university. You’ll need to do this via UCAS. Once this is done and it’s all confirmed, you’ll also need to let your student finance provider know if there are any changes to your original application, such as a change in the university you’re attending, the course you’re studying, and the length of the course.
It’s also important that you find and confirm your accommodation. Options for last minute accommodation can be limited, so let us help you take away the stress. At Student Roost, we have accommodation in 21 UK cities. Upgrade your student living and become a part of our student community.
Looking for things to do in the city when you're spending time away from your student accommodation in Bristol? Trust us, you won't be bored. Here's some of the highlights of what you can find nearby in Bristol.
Bristol is often described as a city in the countryside, and with over 400 gardens and parks to explore you’ll easily be able to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Bristol Zoo Gardens makes for a perfect outdoor destination, with over 300 species of animal to discover across 12 acres. Close by, you’ll find one of Bristol’s top tourist attractions, the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, situated on the Avon Gorge.
Banksy anyone? Now a world-famous artist, Banksy was born in Bristol and spearheaded the wave of street art that took Bristol by storm in the 1980s. Walk the streets of Bristol today, and it’s hard not to spot graffiti art decorating the city’s walls – plus, if you’re a fan of Banksy’s work, you can still find some of his earliest work hidden in plain sight across the city.
The city is steeped in culture and history. If that’s your thing then don’t miss historical and heritage sites like Bristol Cathedral, the Lord Mayor's Chapel, and the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, all of which are easily accessible from our Bristol uni accommodation.
Bristol is also well known for its fascinating maritime history. Once a busy dock for trading goods, Bristol’s Harbourside is now alive with restaurants, bars, shops and hotels. In the mood for more shopping? Cabot Circus is your best bet for high street favourites, or if vintage or charity shopping is more your thing, take a visit to Gloucester Road and Park Street.
If you’re looking for vibrant student nightlife near your student accommodation in Bristol, then you’re in the right place. The city’s musical heritage, as the birthplace of trip hop and home of Massive Attack, means dance music is part of the culture and you can build your weekend around both popular and underground club nights.
If you’re looking for something a little more laidback, then you’ll find it in Bristol’s array of traditional pubs, cocktail bars and secretive speakeasies. The city also boasts a lively and welcoming LGBTQ+ scene including the Gay Village in Old Market.
Zinc Quarter, our Bristol University student accommodation, provides easy access to everything that Bristol’s rich culture and history offers. What are you waiting for?
