Welcome to the West Village

Welcome to the West Residential Village! We are so excited to have you here. The West Village is a beautiful place to live, and we’re lucky to have some of Bristol’s most stunning features on our doorstep. Our aim is to build an inclusive and diverse community where you will feel supported and at home.

We are looking forward to getting to know the West Village students so, when you see us around, please do come and say hi. We hope you have a fantastic year.
