City of Bristol College: Academic Programs and Housing Query

Hi there! I'm interested in the City of Bristol College's technical and vocational courses. Does anyone have experience with these programs? Also, I'm looking for student accommodation near the City of Bristol College. I've come across Uninist - they claim to offer the best student housing in Bristol. Has anyone stayed at their Malthouse property? What are the pros and cons of living near the college versus in the city center? How's the public transport in Bristol? Any insights on balancing academic life with exploring the city would be awesome!
