Bristol: A Safe & Diverse City
As you prepare for your exciting journey to study in Bristol, we understand that ensuring your safety and well-being is paramount. Moving to a new city, especially from another country, can be both thrilling and daunting. We are here to reassure you that Bristol is not only a vibrant and inclusive city, but also a safe place to call home during your university years.
A Safe Home for Students
Bristol consistently ranks as one of the safest cities in the UK. According to the Office for National Statistics, Bristol has a lower crime rate compared to many other major UK cities, with a notable reduction in overall crime rates in recent years. The Avon and Somerset Police Department actively works to maintain a safe environment, with community policing playing a significant role in ensuring the safety of all residents, including students.
A testament to Bristol’s safety is its accreditation with the Purple Flag for the 14th consecutive year. This prestigious award highlights Bristol’s safe nighttime economy, ensuring that the city remains a secure and enjoyable place for residents and visitors alike to explore after dark.
All Urban Student accommodation in the Clifton area, one of the most affluent and safest parts of Bristol.
