If you’re considering, or are already committed to, coming to study at Chester, you will find it to be a unique place with a thriving community of students.
Rachel, a resident student at Chester’s Visitor Information Centre, summed this up as follows:
“Chester is home to a great university that offers courses in a vast array of subjects to around 15,000 students. Chester has both the excitement you may be craving from university life, along with the community feeling of a small city. That’s why it’s the perfect student city!”
Perhaps the first place to start is by exploring the historical and cultural attractions that draw so many domestic and international tourists to Chester, and it doesn’t need to cost a fortune either. You could take a walk around the city’s Roman walls or follow the canal path, and it’s worth checking out the Groves, a riverside promenade, and Grosvenor Park. Chester Zoo is a must-see attraction, and the cathedral and Grosvenor Museum are also worth visiting.
You’ll find Chester is littered with shops, cafés and restaurants, from both the big names and independent traders, and there are some great bars, pubs and clubs around the city where you can unwind after a day of study. Be sure to get access to student discounts with apps like Stunii, Student Beans, and Unidays.
