There are lots of ways to get around Bath, the most common being by bus, train, or even e-scooter. The centre of Bath is prominently pedestrianised, so wandering around while doing your shopping or going to restaurants is perfectly safe. University campuses are not in the city centre, however, so you will need to get public transport when travelling from the heart of the city, but this might not be necessary if you choose to find student accommodation in Bath that is close to campus.

Oldfield Park
If you want your student housing in Bath to be right in the buzz of university life, Oldfield Park is for you. This popular student area has everything you need close by. It’s only a stone’s throw from the city and has some great independent cafes, pubs, and restaurants to keep you entertained. We recommend hitting up the Belvoir Castle for a cheeky pint or to catch a game, and when hunger strikes, there is nothing better than going to Magu Diner to grab a loaded burger. You’re also right by Moorland Road for great shopping and Bristol Road for a cracking night out. Another big positive about living in Oldfield Park is the great bus links it has to most campuses, as you’re only a 20-minute bus journey to the University of Bath and Bath Spa University.

It has a small selection of local shops and restaurants, and a big Sainsbury’s nearby which is always a huge tick for student living.
Weston
Weston is a great part of Bath and popular with students due to the convenient mix of it being both a quiet community and having a small social scene. You’re only a short bus ride to either the city centre or to university, but you’re also right by some amazing green spaces such as the Botanical Gardens and Weston Park East.
