Student life activities

Discover what student life at Bristol is like with our tours, talks and the 'Life at Bristol' Exhibition.

Once you have received an offer to study at the University, you will receive your email invitation to attend an offer holder event.

All activities (excluding the 'Life at Bristol' Exhibition) require booking, so make sure you have booked your place via the link in your invitation email.

'Life at Bristol' Exhibition

Meet the student services who will support you as a student at Bristol and help prepare you for life after university. Staff and students will be on hand to answer your questions about accommodation, funding, wellbeing, the students’ union and more.

This is your chance to talk to current students about what life is like at Bristol and learn more about how the University supports students from a diverse range of backgrounds.

The exhibition takes place in the Wills Memorial Building from 11 am until 1 pm on Wednesdays and 11 am until 3 pm on Saturdays. The exhibition does not require booking.

Starting at Wills Memorial Building, this hour-long tour is an opportunity for you to picture your life at Bristol beyond your studies. The tour will cover popular local areas beyond the main University precinct. These tours are pre booked and depart every 15 minutes. 

Accommodation tours

We will be running accommodation tours at our City Centre and Clifton residences for you to get a feel for the accommodation on offer at Bristol. 

Our tours operate on a drop-in basis, allowing flexibility in your schedule. City accommodation tours are guided, while Clifton accommodation tours are self-guided.
