Bath is a big tourist stop-over -especially between June and September. Many Cafe's and Restaurants and shops selling Roman Bath merchandise. The Ancient bathhouse is well worth a few visits! It is a University town so there are even a couple of nice bars and clubs with plenty of 20 somethings about most of the year. There is some mining in the area still and quite a lot of farming.
That's expensive ♠_o:
I hope the rent is cheaper than this. And the beer lol.
Saw the University website, interesting options for international students. And about the farming, is it rural?
Thank u both ♠_thumbsup:
That isn't actually so expensive compared to other similar places.
Bath is just a 'nice' place and a little like Bournemouth imo insomuch as it is quite a popular place to move to by retiring/ed people. This doesn't mean there is only bingo to do though as mentioned already! ♦
So, if you are into insurrection and rioting etc, don't expect a big turnout! 
To cut a long story short, you could do far, far worse than Bath.
Regards,
Mal.
Hi ESFX2000,
If you're a sports fan, Bath is a great rugby town so make sure you get down to the Rec.
Of course we cant forget the mighty Bath City FC!
Went to see the Bath FC website , not so mighty now ♠_frown:
gadget51, well, when i say expensive keep in mind that in Portugal the minimum salarie is 500 EUR 
Went to compare with London and well....forget what i've said ♠_o:
I wasn't looking for a big city to live in, i'm from a small island and there's 2 things i appreciate most: quiet and ocean ♦
If she's accepted should i hope to find some job there? At least a part time that i can counciliate with any study? I've heard many times that this is the best way to enhance our value after we graduate. In Portugal it doens't count for much if isn't in the area you are applying.
Well one last question, is there any casino around? ♦
Tks for all the help
MarkQuick thanks for the tip ♠_thumbsup:
Probably this month i'll have the final decision.

Done.
Thanks MarkQuick
Well, there's been some changes, the inerview for Bath has been delayed and other one is confirmed for next month to Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust.
I couldn't find any info at numbeo or any site about the cost of living, which i've heard it's more expensive than Bath.
Is there anyone from here that know and/or live there?
Tks ♠_thumbsup:
Hi mate I live in buckinghamshire whereabouts exactly is it as prices vary but generally it's quite expensive for housing etc, again depending on where you move to there a nicer areas than others as like anywhere if you want to know anything else about the area feel free to ask.
Hi tino87,
Thanks for dropping by to help out.
ESFX2000, I found the following guide to Buckinghamshire, which you may find useful:

Hello everyone. Thanks for the reply.
tino87 can you accept the friend request? So i can send you my contact to make communication easier. Have a lot of questions ♦
MarkQuick thanks for the link, indeed seems a nice place to live with so much to do.
My girlfriend just had her interview today and she's very confident, but next week she will know for sure.
The area is Amersham, Stoke Mandeville or Wycombe, not sure how it will work.
Tks again.
She was accepted ♦
probably it will be in the summer, so i'm trying to find any information i can get.
