Chester is a great place to be a student. From its beginnings as a Roman fortress 2,000 years ago, Chester has managed to retain its unique character while offering everything that you would expect from a modern university city. From quirky independents and coffee shops down winding alleyways, to the big names of the high street and a plethora of bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants, Chester has it all.
If you are visiting the University as a prospective student, why not make a full day or even a weekend of it, and get a real taste of student life here. We also have some great ideas for things you’ll be able to do with your uni friends, or when family and friends come and visit you in your new home.
