What are the best places to visit in Bath for prospective students?

Hello,

Glad to hear you are thinking of visiting Bath.

I'm sure it's already in your plans, but you can book on to a University of Bath campus tour through this link: https://www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/undergraduate-campus-tours/.

In terms of the city centre, having a big walk around will give you a great sense of the city. It's relatively compact so it's easy to do, and it would certainly be worth visiting The Royal Crescent - popular among tourists and students alike. Also, an area called 'Oldfield Park' is relatively close to the city centre. A quick visit may be worthwhile as many (but not all) students live here in their second and final year, so you could get a feel of it. Apart from that, a trip to some of the city's bars, cafes, etc will be a good bet.

Hope this helps and please do ask if you have any other questions.

Thanks a lot- this is very helpful! I’ll try to visit each place and I’ll make sure to visit the campus itself.
All the best.
There is a good Bath city sightseeing bus - gives you a really good idea of what the place looks/feels like - https://city-sightseeing.com/en/84/bath
