Is Montpellier a shit hole? prices are very cheap round there
No, it's really nice - it's a bit hippy/alternative.

yup, this ^^
It's a good location too because you're near the uni, but you're only a short walk from the town centre too.

It's full of smug nobheads
I'll expand - it's full of the sort of smug nobheads who have so much money they can afford to throw it away on gong washing, reiki and other assorted bollocks. It's empty in the summer cos they've all fucked off to smug liberal hippy wank festivals like Shambala and Big Chill
I apologise if you're some sort of rich hippy tit who thinks they'd enjoy this, go for your life
One Stop Thali Cafe and the Old England are alright though

Some people have very strong negative feelings about certain areas in Bristol. Maybe it's because I'm not from Bristol that I don't.

Some people are very ghetto, so of course have little patience for middle class hippies.

There are places other than the ghetto and middle class hippy bubbles.

hey electrogirl! i liked living in montpelier loads. i would move back to the werbs or montpelier in a fucking shot. its near the cube and the here shop and gloucester road and town. also, i'm middle class, and a bit of a hippy. so fucking kill me. no seriously, do your best. i will fight you off with tai chi and then heal myself with reiki.
also, it's a 25 minute walk from clifton or if you have a bike you just go over the top past the BRI and there's not even any hills. are there? i probably wouldn't notice hills nowadays, so inured am i to living in BORING BORING totterdown. don't move to totterdown. it is so boring, i am losing the will to live on a daily basis.

St Werburghs? That's even fucking worse. People not cool enough to get into Monpelier. Fuck the Farm, fuck your mural and fuck...er..The Herb garden!

Yep! Although the uni is a bit of a walk from Clifton Down. In fact, if you look on a map, it's a stupidly roundabout route. It's 1.3 miles in a straight line from bedminster station to the uni, but 9 miles on the train plus nearly a mile walk the other end.
In fact, forget the train entirely. Best to pretend that Bristol doesn't have any, because they're all useless, more's the pity
No I disagree the train that runs from Temple meads to Avon mouth and Severn beach is fantastic! I take it from Easton to Clifton Down most mornings and it cos me £6 for unlimited journeys for 7 days! Plus it only takes 9 minutes to get from Easton to Clifton down!
Therefore Smoky based on that you could also consider living in Montpelier. If you course is based at Woodland road then Clifton Down station is only 10 minutes away by foot.

I'm annoyed with St Werberghs for charging me a fiver to get into what was essentially, a fete.
Call it a 'festival' all you want, but it was a fete.

Well, yes, from Easton it's great. Crazy to come from bedminster and change at temple meads though
£6 though! Awesome! When we move to Bristol, I so want to be able to take the little train

Plus, if you going rush hour (morn or evening) and you get on the other end from the guards it's usually free.

Nobody has mentioned Kingsdown/Stokes Croft - not very far at all from the university, along Upper Maudlin Steet past the BRI and onto Park Row and you are practically there. Or through the back streets.
There are loads of student flats along Jamaica Street (not the Turbo Island end) and some more (which I assume are student flats) in King Square Avenue. I assume they are for university students.

If it's very cheap, it's possibly St Pauls rather than Montpelier, or some tiny rat-infested shack. And Montpelier does have its share of smug gits, as does St Werburghs. I like both areas tho.
Getting around by train is great, if you live anywhere near the Severn Beach line. A monthly ticket between Clifton and Temple Meads costs about £22, which is great value. Especially compared to the buses which, as others have pointed out, are shit and expensive.
