Bristol – A University City
Bristol has a thriving student population with more than 40,000 students enrolled at its two leading universities: the University of Bristol (part of the Russell Group) and the University of the West of England (UWE). Many more attend further education schools and colleges.
Students are very much a part of the fabric of Bristol life and can often be found in and around the city centre where there is always so much to see, do and experience. Many find part-time work and become further integrated into the fabric of the city. Whether its work or play Timber Yard is ideally located within easy reach of the best student hangouts.
Regularly voted one of the best places in the UK to live and work, it is little wonder that Bristol has one of the highest rates of students that choose to stay on after they graduate, launch their careers and make Bristol their home.
