Hey there! What programme are you doing? Did you sort out your housing? Also an American will be staying in Deans Court. Leaving in 2 weeks can't wait!

Where are you from? I will be there in three weeks, jealous!

Hello, I've just accepted an offer for the MSc in Transfusion and Transplantation Science and am also still looking for accommodation. As an EU student it will be difficult to come over. Are there any I should definitely avoid because they have a bad rep or are very 'party' orientated?

Hi there!

This doesn't actually answer your question but I'm coming to Bristol to do Philosophy of Biological and Cognitive Sciences (MA) in Sept 2013 and am looking for a female to share a bunk bed studio with me (King Square Studios owned by CRM). The price is 89 pounds per week. Please refer to this website: http://www.crm-students.com/crm-accommodation/bristol/king-square-studios/

If you haven't found any accommodation yet, please message me as soon as possible and maybe we can work something out. Looking forward to hear from you soon! :smile:

Hi everybody!

I'm another American starting at Bristol in the fall! I also applied to Dean's Court but still waiting for a response. I can't wait to move over!

Hello

I have just got accepted on the MSc Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Public Health ... and I'm really looking forward to it, but a little stressed about accommodation.

I will try for uni postgrad accommodation but pretty sure its too late.

However, Bristol Uni is having a house search event from 28th-30th August, which looks interesting.

Would love to find a place before that but I think that may be my best bet.

Anyone looking for a flatshare please get in contact!

See you soon

P.S. I hope there are postgrad get togethers ... I want to meet you all!

Moving to Bristol in a matter of days. Thought it would be good to go there and get settled before the course start in Sept. Was wondering if any of you guys have signed up for any freshers events, etc? Feel free to contact me, would love to get to know as many people as possible. My accommodation is close to the city centre.

Hey Postgrads! I'm starting a part-time MA in Classics and Ancient History - I'm living with a friend which is a blessing as the hall I applied for decided they weren't accepting students. o.0 Unfortunately though I've had to move into my house very recently so I'm just lurking around for a month... is anyone else already here and losing their wits through boredom?

I'll be in somewhat of a similar situation since I'm moving to Bristol on Friday (a month before uni starts). Hopefully I'll be able to check out the best of what Bristol offers in this month. How exactly sure what I'll be doing though until uni starts

I'm doing International Relations but haven't heard of anyone else on here doing that too yet. Looking forward to meeting lots of people, so feel free to add me on Facebook (send me a private message!). Turns out my application to Woodland Court was successful so I'll be moving in there at the end of Sept! :smile:

Anyone else in Woodland Court?

I'll be moving into Bristol next week too, but I think I'll manage to keep myself busy jobhunting and assembling furniture. :P It'd be good to meet up with some other lost postgrads for an I-don't-know-anyone-in-this-city drink, though. Perhaps someone who does know something about Bristol could suggest somewhere to go. :smile:

That would be great! I arrive next week as well and have decided to fill my time with buying and assembling home decor.

Ive been here three years already, so although I don't think I'll be out for drinks the next few weeks due to other commitments, I have had many, many drinks in this city, and happy to help!
the apple on welsh back is a cider institution, check that out. Bar 51 on stokes croft is a personal fav of mine, so is bank of stokes croft (across the street from 51); I'm actually going there tonight.
Steer clear of the harbourside. Park street and Clifton triangle can be good if you like a quite young crowd (as in 18-23), but otherwise avoid at all costs. Start the bus on corn street is good too, and its just down the road from mr Wolfs on st Stephens street, where they have live music every weekend and great atmosphere.

I'm so excited to get back to studying!!
