Centre Gate Bristol — Student Accommodation

Living in the city centre changes how you experience Bristol as a student. Instead of planning your day around buses, many places you need regularly are within walking distance. That includes university buildings, supermarkets, cafés, libraries, shops, and evening hangouts.
