Too many international students at Uni, hard to find local students to talk to. In general, you will improve your english standard once you are in the UK as everyone around you speaks English (mainly).

Personal comments
The housing is quite good, but some international students may not be able to fined a place at University's accommodation if they apply late. Living in Bristol is expensive compared to other cities in the UK.
