Bristol is one of the UK's most amazing and inspiring cities. It's also very lively place with a vibrant cultural and social scene. There is everything from live music clubs to independent films, modern shopping malls to historical landmarks,bars and international restaurants. There's something for everyone whatever you interests.
Upon visiting the university, I was taken away with the beauty of the city and the friendly staff at the university, especially in the Engineering Faculty department. It seemed like a very welcoming and supportive environment. I felt lucky to be greeted by lecturers who were clearly at the forefront of their research areas, not only their expertise, but also their genuine interest in the thoughts and options of their students strike as a rare combination. I really love it here. It has got everything a good city offers as well as being pretty safe. There seems to be a good mix of people, although it does live up to its posh kid stereotype a bit, but generally the normal happy people seem to find each other and have an awesome time here. Everything is a little bit more elegant in United Kingdom, from the cars to the clothes; from the houses to the bridges. It really makes you appreciate beauty in a different way. You can appreciate the pure English style of the houses and I felt like another era. The city is totally wild! you can stay out all night if you want to and not be bored. There are some weeks where we've been out somewhere different every night. There's a massive mix too, from cheesy clubs to Brazilian dance music, so you get to figure out what you really like. I have grown very fond of Bristol. When the weather is clear, u can see for miles from the Clifton Suspension Bridge and with just a short walk away is the Downs & Ashton court Estate, where you can walk, run or bike for miles undisturbed. I think these open areas add to everyone’s enjoyment of the city...
The Wills Memorial Building- The construction of the building began before the World War I and took almost 100 years to built. It is situated on Queens Road, at the top of Park Street. It is Bristol's most prominent landmarks & is regarded by most people with the University of Bristol. This tower is impressive, quite high and is encircled by brightly-colored heraldic shields .There is a bell weighing over 9.5 tons, which strikes every hour above the noise of the city traffic.
Clifton Suspension Bridge- It’s the jewel in Bristol!! Its world famous because of its spectacular setting on the cliffs of the Avon Gorge, drawing thousands of visitors a year just to stroll across for views of the gorge and elegant Clifton. I have always been fascinated by architecture, but to come and see this 700 foot long & 250 foot high bridge that was build in 1836 really blew my expectations. There is no fee for crossing the bridge but you can buy a yellow button for a donation to keep the bridge in good shape, plus all vehicles crossing have to pay a toll. Crossing it gave me the chills of history that was made here, thinking about all the people that used this bridge since 1836 and it is in impeccable shape. This bridge is located on such a height that once you are on it you can feel the wind blowing at an extreme pace.
