Should I apply to Bristol Uni?

So i'm thinking of applying to do a BSc in Social Policy at Bristol because its one of the best instititions in the UK for this subject and I know its a really nice city from people who have applied there and also I visites there a couple of years ago and it had a nice vibe. I've just got my AS results back and I got two As (one of which was in Sociology which is useful) and a B and a C, meaning I ought to be capable of getting the ABB requirement at A-level. Because i'm unable to attend the open days for Bristol, I was wondering whether it is still worth applying for as I am less informed. Also if anyone has studied a social science BSc - what is it like because at all the other unis i'm applying for, Social Policy is a BA? If anyone studies any other subjects at Bristol, what's the general student life and accomodation like?
Thanks for your help☺

Don't be put off because you havent been to the open day. Bristol is a great city and university and with ABB predictions you should be fine. The accommodation varies depending on how much you want to spend and how close you want to be to the main uni buildings

I can't say much about the uni but I live in the outskirts or Bristol. It is a great city, and there is loads to do in the city centre

If you have visited places like Warwick, York or Durham and know that these smaller cities are not your thing, and that big cities like Manchester, Leeds or London is, then Bristol is a good direction to go!

I am from London, and after visiting uni's up north then visiting Bristol, i realised city life is sooo much more worth it (for me personally). There so much to see and do and it's all at my doorstep.

Open days are the chance to see what the city is, not necessarily to see what your course is like. So if you're wondering about your course, just assess whether this is the stuff you really want to be studying.
