The City of Bath
As well as being a hugely important UNESCO World Heritage Site, owing to its Roman connection, Bath is also a very personable city, with its pedestrianised streets and lanes and bustling town centre. The Roman Baths and elegant Pump Room are the chief attractions, while the imposing Bath Abbey looks-on. The opera and theatre feature nightly and there are plenty of live music dens, pubs, and nightclubs.
Student Loans
Bath University is allowed to charge new, full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for a student loan to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Student loans are the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
