I am a third year History student. I’m thoroughly enjoying all that my course offers, especially as I have been able to pick my optional units to reflect my historical interests. I have lived both in halls in Stoke Bishop and in a rented house with five friends, which has significantly expanded my level of independence. My favourite place in Bristol is Durdham Downs; having a massive green space to run and walk in shouldn’t be underappreciated, plus barbecues there in the summer are a definite must!
