    I wouldnt advise it, you will spend a lot of time getting to and from uni, and pretty much everyone you meet in Bath will be living in Bath. The uni isnt in the centre of town so you would need to get to Temple meads, get a train to Bath then a bus up to university. Expensive and time consuming! There is PLENTY of accommodation in Bath, what sort of thing are you looking for?

    hey, thanks for ur post)

    getting there isn't really a problem... The studio i want to rent is 15 mins away from Temple meads (walking), so thats not too far. I lived here for one year, and did not really enjoy the city... It is just waay to small... Can't find good accommodation for the price I can pay, and i dont wanna share u know... But the yeah, i just looked up prices for season tickets and they are really expensive! Do you think having a rail card would make them cheaper? thanx
