Sitting just south of lively Liverpool, this fascinating city seldom gets mentioned in the conversation for the best student cities in Britain.
But this small north-western English city is a fantastic place to live and study. QS (Quacquarelli Symonds), one of the the world’s leading experts on global higher education, named Chester as one of Britain’s most underrated cities.
One of the best-preserved walled cities in Britain is filled with history, vibrancy, charm, character, and things to do and see. Founded as a Roman fortress in the 1st century A.D., Chester is a city that is steeped in history. But it’s also a bustling 21st-century city that balances that inescapable history with constant development.
The past and the present, the young and the old, the traditional and the trendy are all combined in a unique way to make Chester the diverse city it is. This is a city where the most complete Roman amphitheatre in Britain sits right across from one of the coolest night clubs in the United Kingdom.
Chester was founded as a "castrum" or Roman fort in the year 79 and was one of the three major Roman army bases in the UK.
Most of Chester’s stunning architecture is evidence of its existence during the medieval period. But the city played a significant role in the Industrial Revolution which began in the North West of England in the latter part of the 18th century.
The substantial expansion and development during this period brought railways, canals and new roads to the city. Buildings such as the Chester Town Hall and the Grosvenor Museum are examples of Victorian architecture from this period.
Many of the black-and-white buildings within the city centre are Victorian restorations, originating from the Black-and-white Revival movement in the mid-19th century.
Fast forward to the 21st-century, Chester’s storied past is proudly preserved throughout the city in extensive ancient Roman walls made of local red sandstone, the iconic Eastgate Clock, the archaeological treasure Chester Cathedral, Roman Gardens to the historic Rows.
It can be said that the city has been built around its history as not many cities have a Roman Amphitheatre a few streets away from modern shops, restaurants, and bars.
The preservation of this history is partially responsible for Chester being regarded as one of Europe’s prettiest cities. The city is awash with green space and bordered by the scenic River Dee and surrounded by beautiful countryside.
There are miles of natural pathways to cycle or jog along. Grosvenor Park is a beautiful 20 acres of green space overlooking the river. The famous Roman Gardens feature fragments of excavated fortresses. The Meadows is great for a walk along the riverbank or a paddle in the water. It’s has great tranquil spots where people can find some serenity away from the bustling city.
Big metropolitan cities are often less intimate and difficult to get to know while very small cities can sometimes feel a bit mundane. Chester strikes a solid balance – it’s large enough to offer diversified and thrilling experiences, yet small enough to charm visitors.
With affluent suburbs, a plethora of classy cocktail bars, traditional pubs, independent restaurants, and a loaded calendar of yearly events within easy reach, Chester is a great place to study abroad.
The city has often been ranked as one of the best places to live in the UK and has been dubbed 'a regional treasure.' In 2018 The Sunday Times Best Places to Live in Britain, which covers all the UK regions, named Chester the second-best place to live in the North West.
In recognition of its strong night-time economy, Chester has been awarded the coveted ‘Purple Flag’ status. The city’s nightlife offers variety, uniqueness and atmosphere with bands and DJs playing across the city every night of the week. Telford’s Warehouse, The Live Rooms, or Alexander’s Live usually host the most popular ones.
From the multi-award-winning Chef’s Table restaurant to quaint cafes like the Flower Cup, to student-friendly bars and clubs like Rosie’s and Cruise, there are plenty of options for every occasion.

When you want to grab a bite, you won’t be short of options as Chester’s cobbled streets are lined with cuisines from across the globe. Michelin-starred restaurants, well-known independent eateries, as well as hidden foodie gems down side streets and in the Chester Market await you.
Along with the monthly Taste Cheshire Farmers Market, the city’s food market scene also brings events such as Chester Vegan Festival and Food & Drink Festival.
The city is also home to all sorts of other festivals throughout the year, including the multi-venue live music event Chester Live, Chester International Film Festival, Chester Literature Festival, and Chester Pride.
Chester is perhaps just as renowned for its shopping as it is for its architecture. Within its distinctive double rows of shops all over the city, there’s a wide range of high street favourites, designer boutiques, and independent stores to suit many styles and budgets.
If the Grosvenor Shopping Centre and The Rows are not enough to satisfy your spending urges, UK’s largest outlet shopping destination Cheshire Oaks is only a 15-minute drive from Chester.
