Student city guides
Thinking about moving to a new city for university? Our city guides will help you learn more about the different UK cities so you can choose where to study or get to know your new home.
Moving away for university can be a scary prospect, especially if you’ve never lived in a big city. So before you decide where you want to study, ensure you’ve done thorough research into the university’s location and understand what to expect. If you’ve already chosen a university, it’s still important to learn about where you’ll be moving to.
Our city guides provide enough detail on each city’s universities, accommodation, transport, and things to keep you busy – whether you’re still deciding where to study or preparing to move.
