Bath is a really nice city to live in as it feels very safe and being a World Heritage site, it is very picturesque. Although it is a fairly small city, there are lots of shops and restaurants, and from my experience there is plenty to do (to get an idea you can look at
Bath Leap List, a list of the best activities to do in Bath compiled by students!). There are 24 hour bus services that run during term time which take you from campus into town, and the transport links are also great - I've visited Bristol several times on the train and it is very cheap and accessible. The campus itself is fairly small and compact in comparison to other universities, however this is something that I really like about Bath; as it means the university has a real community feel and offers a very friendly, cosy and safe environment to study in.
Before I came to Bath I was also a bit worried that the nightlife wouldn't live up to my expectations. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by what the nightlife has to offer! The nightlife in Bath is pretty varied and although it does not offer a big city clubbing scene, there are lots of different bars, pubs and nightclubs with student club nights in the city nearly everyday of the week. As well as this, the SU holds two club nights each week on campus - Klass on Saturdays and Score on Wednesdays. Although the clubs may not be as big as those in larger cities, with so many students in Bath, I have found that most nights out are busy and have a great atmosphere! Alternatively, Bristol is only a 15 minute train journey away if you feel like going somewhere a bit different.
