    I have firmed Bristol to study Economics and Management and the offer was AAB. I am thinking of changing to law by contacting the university. Is this possible?

    Name (optional): Hannah
    Course: Drama and German
    Offer: AAB
    Which accommodation are you thinking of? Undecided - weighing up pros and cons of Stoke Bishop vs. City / Self-catered vs. Catered (Badock and HB seem awesome but really want to be self-catered)

    Anyone else doing one or the other of Drama or German? Or both, even? Finding it hard to find anyone, funnily enough...

    My Firm and Insurance are Bristol and Sheffield too!

    ..sorry it's not relevant to your bus question.
    It says on THIS page that all students in uni. accomm. are issued with a free bus pass. :dontknow:
    Haha snap! I'll hopefully see you at one of them, preferably Bristol

    I just looked again at the link I posted and it says this at the top: Undergraduate students and Senior Residents in University allocated accommodation will receive an annual bus pass when they arrive at the University of Bristol.

    I'm just being ditzy, it would seem. So free buses it is!

    Hello everyone who made good decisions! I firmed Bristol yesterday for English! Rather excited
    I have NO idea which accommodation to pick though... there seems to be so much and also the website confuses me... is some of it not in proper halls and why would you want that..?!

    In terms of accommodation, i'm leaning towards Hiatt Baker at the moment. I'm not particularly bothered about the quality of the hall as long as it's liveable, I just want to be somewhere with a good atmosphere and a bit of fun :P
    I know this was posted ages ago but I was just flicking through the thread, Hiatt Baker seems like the most fun out of the halls from what I've read on TSR, apparently it is the 'party hall'

    I can't decide which accommodation I like the most, although I definitely want to go self-catered. Any advice?
