Bristol v UCL

So I am planning on currently applying to Cambridge Durham Exeter York and either UCL or Bristol. From what I have seen UCL seems to have a better international reputation and Bristol a better student experience. I have also heard concerns about both unis for accommodation (UCL doesn't have enough and Bristol is too far away). Does anyone have any experience with this? I am planning to study Law with French or Law at either of them. If you generally know anything about the unis or their courses please do say!
Bristol has 'traditional halls' at Stoke Bishop that are a bus ride away from campus - but now has newer accommodation on the centre of the city. Look at Orchard Heights, Print Works, New Bridewell etc (essentially anything that isnt 'North') : http://www.bristol.ac.uk/accommodation/undergraduate/residences/

One important thing about Law with a Language at Bristol - it means you wont have a choice of doing all the available Law units because half you timetable will be the other subject. A better idea can be to apply for straight Law, and switch to the 'Study Abroad' pathway at the end of your first year. This means you still get a Year Abroad in France, do whatever French culture/arts/law units you can there, and improve your language skills etc, but without compromising your Law choices.

PS. There are lots of good reasons to go to Bristol : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khM7tjui86Q
