Compared to London sure, but rents in Bristol are really high compared to the rest of the country. It's very dependent on where in the city you want to live though.

it would be un-british not to be pessimistic about every place in britain you've spent any period of time.

3 small facts about noodlebar discovered by a concerned mom that subway dont want you to know

1: its the best place by far in cov

2: the portions are huge and you can mix and match anything

3: its full of chinese people so they must be doing something right

Sounds like China China in Brighton which was great til it got shut down by immigration. Six quid for massive portions of the best Chinese food I ever had.

It's so funny when everybody online is talking about the places I've lived.

Exeter is a pile of shite, spent a good amount of time growing up there. The scene is generally awful (though the Phoenix sometimes puts on a good act). People my age are generally wankers, but I can't hate them too much, I was one of them not too long ago.

Newton abbot? Don't get me started on that place.. Awful

Manchester though. 👍👍👍
Whoever said something about the Salisbury is right on the money. I'll gladly go for a pint before I have to drag myself back to revision.
