hey, thanks for reading my plea for help, lol.
My housemates and I are all getting kicked out of our house in 3 months time and we're all planning on going to bristol. We chose Bristol becuase we're all into our media related jobs and bristol seems to be like a great place to go for all aspects of media related work (obviously london is better but we're all really keen on bristol instead). in my house we have a journalist/writer, a film producer/sound designer/director and multimedia/computer 'artists' (if that helps!).
I was hoping people who live there could help us (or just people with knowledge/advice on the place). We don't really know where we want to live or where we should live if we wanted to be close to the good areas.
From what I've found out Clifton seems to be a really nice place to live. It may be expensive but that's less of an issue becuase we're all gonna be working. However to be realistic we're not all going to land into perfect jobs so the best of the best is probably out of the question, but i'm open to all suggestions! We all share all of the outgoing costs in our house so becuase of that we can afford to spend a bit more cash on renting/living becuase we do so well out of sharing the cost.
There are a lot of area's that from looking at letting agent's don't look too great. We don't exactly live in the best area at the moment, but it doesn't bother us. We're all up for good communities and stuff like that but are not really prepared to pay less to be living in an area where we could be at risk or anything like that. We're professionals lol.
Anyway, i've looked in the usual places like upmystreet.com, letting agetns websites and websites about the city but I can't find any unbiased info on the actual areas to live in. Also if anyone has any good recommendations on what area's would have a lot of work for media related jobs then that would be a massive karma filled bonus. I know I can look at where jobs are and plot out maps, and I have been, but it's never as good as real accounts from the people who live there.
Thanks so much in advance, every day I leave this and every day I just get more worried about the fact that we've all got to move soon and have nowhere to go.
