Bristol Accommodation

Student Accommodation in Bristol

One essential thing you must ensure you have arranged prior to your studies at MetStudios Bristol is your accommodation. Your living arrangement can be an important factor in your success as a student.

We do not have halls of residence at MetFilm School Bristol, which means you must find housing privately, but we have various resources available to help with every step of the process.

Birmingham hosts various possibilities for accommodation such as flats, shared houses, and private halls. However, as Bristol is a university city there is a heavy demand for student accommodation. We advise you to look as early as possible to find a place that suits your needs.

We can’t wait for you to start this next exciting chapter. See you in Bristol!

Please Note

Halls of Residences are managed independently by the accommodation companies and not MetStudios. It is your responsibility to manage your accommodation whilst a student at MetStudios and all contracts signed, agreed and adhered to are between you and the student housing company.

This represents one option for your accommodation whilst you study with us but we would also advise that you investigate the private rental market which is buoyant in the local area and decide which is the best option for you.

Private Student Accommodation

If you cannot find a suitable spot in halls or if it’s not your preferred option, there are plenty of letting agents within the city to support you in finding a student house share or flat share.

The cost per week of living in a shared flat or house is much less than in halls. You’ll be able to pick properties based on your budget. Most letting agents will require you to be in a group before you approach them for a property. To make connections and find housemates, you can join our MetStudios Bristol freshers group, which we email to all offer holders.

Once you have a group together, you can approach the below local student lettings agents to find properties:

Tips for Viewing Bristol Properties

We recommend viewing a property at least twice. You’ll be more likely to notice problems the second time around
Take someone with you or let someone else know exactly where you are when you visit a property, just to err on the side of caution
It’s also a good idea to visit the area at night. If you do this, please ensure you stick to the point above and take someone with you
Make sure you and all your other housemates view the property. Don’t take someone else’s word that the property is right for you
Compare a range of different landlords and properties
Take your time and don’t let landlords pressure you – there is a surplus of good properties in the area and you will find somewhere you like
When you go to view, take notes and photos and use our checklist to make sure you don’t miss anything.
Get informed – knowing your rights will help you view properties more critically and put you in a stronger negotiating position

Where to Live

There is an abundance of student accommodation within a fairly short distance of the campus, and plenty of house and flat shares run by private landlords in other popular student areas.

Please take into consideration the cost of travelling and the time it takes to get to the campus from where you choose to live.

The following areas in particular are good places to look for shared student accommodation:

Gloucester Road: This area has shops, bars, cafes, and many flats and student houses. It has a buzzing community and is highly favoured by students.
Redland: Located near Gloucester Road, Redland is a thriving student hub comprising University of Bristol (UoB) and University of the West of England (UWE) students.
Cotham & Kingsdown: This leafy residential area is popular among students who enjoy a closer connection to the countryside.
Bristol City Centre: The city centre is a convenient location for students, with easy access to universities, amenities, and entertainment options.
Fishponds: This area offers affordable housing options and is home to UoB and UWE students.
Clifton: Clifton is a desirable area known for its Georgian architecture, green spaces, and vibrant atmosphere. It attracts both students and professionals.

Bristol is well connected through public transport services; frequent buses that run all through the night, rail and cycle lanes make it easy to get around.

Please note there are no parking facilities available at MetStudios Bristol.
