Student life at Manchester vs Bristol
I am an international South Asian student applying for an undergraduate course in Biomedical Science. I have received conditional offers from both uni of manchester as well as bristol, with my marks being a contender for both as well.
I'm having a hard time choosing between the two. In theory I suppose manchester would be the better option as it is ranked higher, but some of my relatives staying in the UK have told me that Manchester isn't a great city to live in, especially as an Asian. They advised me to go for Bristol instead solely because of this.
I am quite particular about the city I am going to be staying in as well. Does anyone have any insights on the students life at Bristol vs Manchester? (Specifically for international students)
PS: I am aware of the difference in the cost of living as well, which once again favours Manchester.
