Hi! I’ve firmed Bristol for law and I’m considering private accommodation for first year instead of uni halls.
I was wondering how much this affects the social side of things. For people at Bristol who lived in private accom in first year, did you find it harder to meet people and make friends? Or are places like Unite/Student Roost still quite social (common rooms, events, etc.)?
I’m a bit worried about missing out on the “hall experience”, so I’d love to hear honest experiences—whether you felt isolated or if it didn’t make much difference.
Thanks :)
