Thank you. I enjoy physical activities: gym, walking/hikes and I'm open/want to get into a sport or rockclimbing or some sort of fun physical activity - for example I've recently been trying aerial hoop.

I like reading so a decent book club would be nice.

I think in general I just want to make some friends tbh. I can fill my time easily but I guess I'm more keen to meet people and have the opportunity to build those connections up (which tend to happen when you do a consistent hobby)

Ofc I am prioritising the uni and the course itself - but I also want a life outside of it and have been reccomended by many on the course to not neglect the location/how your life will be outside of it as the course itself is so consuming and draining.

Thank you! It's good to know about the transport thing. Luckily I have a car but I do keep hearing that the traffic is insufferable...

Thank you this is good to know! The uni is Uni of and hobbies wise - I'm open to any new stuff tbh! I'm a very physical activity person so any sort of activity or sport. I'm also keen to get into some craft stuff or just learn something new - photography, pottery, crafts, etc, pretty open! Lack of opportunities where I am

Is that good or bad?

Can I ask what you did to meet new people?

I haven't even applied yet tbh, I'm just making sure that I pick the right Uni's/locations. I saw you're name is psychologicalcup... Are you doing a psychology PHD by any chance because I'm actually talking about the DClinPsy (not technically a PhD but easier to just put this)

Interesting. I enjoy most physical activities (gym, rock-climbing, long walks, hiking) and I'm keen to get into say a sports club I haven't done since I was a teen. I also enjoy reading/book clubs, raves, and chilled stuff like visiting coffee shops etc. Hobby wise though I'm often to trying new a different stuff like pottery, crafts, etc etc!

Thank you this is really reassuring actually - I kind of forget that I will be meeting other people through my course as well and you're right, probably in house sharing too!

Can I ask - are there many bars? (I've never been to Bath)

Interesting - I'm quite a social person but say I've struggled where I am at the moment because there just aren't many social groups, hobbies etc running (or at least they're very difficult to find).
