  • London's not the only great city in England.
    Manchester and Bristol are smaller than London but still big cities. They've each got a distinctive character and a top-tier university.




    The city of Manchester buzzes with activity, as 2.5 million residents make it go. Once a casualty of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester is now a case-study in urban evolution, with old textile mills being revamped into eateries, shops, and galleries. Football (that's soccer to you!) and cricket fans will find local teams to cheer and local loyals to cheer with. And with a student population of around 60,000, Manchester works hard to rival London as the monarch of the British club and music scene. But the University of Manchester is in a class by itself. The university works hard to provide "something for everyone" to its more than 18,000 studnets, and the student union sponsors hundreds of clubs, runs a humungous student center, and brings famous bands to campus for concerts. So, for a world-class university in a city with new-school cool, think Manchester.

    The University of Bristol is no intellectual slouch, competing with Oxford and Cambridge for the top academic rankings. And with 10,000 undergrads to serve, Bristol's got tons of clubs and activities, and an all-new sports and recreation center. The mid-sized city of Bristol packs a population of 400,000 into the heart of England's West Country, an area renowned for its gorgeous countrysides. It's the center of electronic and aerospace engineering in England and caters to its young population with lots of clubs, pubs, and cultural events. Nearby, the caves of Cheddar Gorge offer spectacular stalactites (stop for real Cheddar cheese on your way back), and the famous high-class resort at Bath has drawn tourists for hundreds of years. With its awesome film, theater, art, and music scene, Bristol was recently voted "Best U.K. City" by the leisure industry and chosen as a U.K. "Center of Cultural Excellence."
