At The Port On The Square – Basic Student Living Isn’t It
Why settle for boring when you can live in luxury? The Port on The Square is where style meets student life, right in the heart of Bristol. You’re not just close to uni — you’re practically next door.
Uni of Bristol? 20-minute walk. UWE? 15 minutes by bus. BIMM is just a 2-minute walk, and DBS is 20. And if you’re a med student, major hospitals are just around the corner – so no excuses for being late.
Getting around? Easy. Temple Meads Station is 10 minutes by bus, Bristol Airport is 30 minutes by bus, and the city’s best spots (including hip coffee shops!) are all within reach – Greytone, Lost Horizon and Wogan are our best spots around.
Now, let’s talk perks. Private cinema? Check. Games area? Yep. Gym? Of course. Need a study room? We’ve got quiet zones and even a bookable meeting room for those productive group projects. When it’s time to socialize, the communal lounge and private dining room are where friendships (and legendary dinner parties) happen. Need fresh air? Step into our stunning courtyard – your go-to spot for catching up with friends, soaking up some sun, or just taking a break from it all. Don’t forget about our free drinks (coffee, teas, hot chocolate) and snacks!
The best part? You’re living where everything’s happening. Bristol’s top restaurants, nightlife, and culture are just outside your door. Whether you’re heading to class or heading out, you’re in the right place.
