hotwells is probably your best bet, if you don't mind the half hour walk. unite's ones are close but bloody expensive. your best bet is to find someone you can houseshare with. i'm a fresher this year on the management course and have just landed my accommodation for next year, right in the centre of town for £365 a month. Freshers week is hopefully going to be a mad one, already got the first event booked and i know there are some others being worked on. Other than that expect beer pong, drinking games, and to be drank under the table by the 2nd and third years.
