Hiya. I'm coming to the end of my first year at UWE. Here's a break down of everything I've experienced this year

Cost of Living = If you live on frenchay campus, there is a lidl and an aldi down the road making food shops alot cheaper. There is also a lidl in the city centre if you end up living there

Parking = Im not very knowledgeable on this subject as I do not drive but I know that if you live on Frenchay Campus you are not allowed to bring your car with you

Transport = Each singular bus journey costs £2.40 when tapping your debit card on the bus. This can get pricy but student tickets are also available

Accommodation = If you want an en-suite room you are likely to live with less people. If you want to live with more people you are likely to have to share a bathroom. It's honestly up to you. I chose to have an enusite and ended up living with 5 others and I regret not getting a shared bathroom because I would love to live with more people but each to there own. There is loads of info on accommodation options on the UWE website.

Overall I've had a great time in my first year at UWE. Hope this helps!
