My time so far at Orchard Heights has been wonderful. I’m really impressed with the receptionist who works here Jack. In my time here Jack has been extremely helpful in every possible way you could think. He has a deep appreciation and understanding of the many cultures that live in this building and seems to know so much about my native Iraq, which I’ve never seen before in a British person. He’s taught me so much about his native city and guided me to many great establishments that an Iraqi like myself would appreciate. His love for helping people, diversity and other cultures is seccond to none.

The school organises a lot of activities through emails. My favourite thing about the school is the volunteer activities. It's a great way to socialise and meet new people and get involved in problem solving with new people. The volunteering activities I've participated in have been fun and I've learnt a lot from them. Besides that, the library and study rooms are very convenient. I really enjoyed my university experience.
The University of Bristol is really great. I've learned a lot of knowledge here. Moreover, there are many events held here, which have helped me acquire many additional skills
the UOB is very good uni, i love studying at the Uni
Amazing university, you get all the support you need!
The university has so many helpful facilities to help with finding a job, finding housing, and support with learning. Also, it provides many opportunities for socialising which really adds to the university experience
Loads of fun opportunities and ways of meeting new people
Staff are very helpful and reasonable though I have personally had little experience with careers staff etc.
The university of Bristol is situated on top of a hill and it is accessible through bus and train. It has got some good facilities with great indoor sports and fitness building
Overall good, but I feel that the campus environment needs to be improved
I really like the reception and the location plus the washing machine
Everywhere i have been in the Uni has been very welcoming and spacious. It gives me spark to learn and study with motivation. The cafe’s dotted around the campus are lovely. The array of societies to join with the chance to ‘Give it a go’ at the start of the semester is a great addition to start something new.
good university, :DDDDDDDDDDDD
Its good in the university with all the required facilities
Excellent university with high level education equipments!
The WiFi sometimes not that good.
Had a good time here, enjoyed every day
Jack working at the orchard height reception is super helpful, I want to leave a positive review for him.
Incredible university - so grateful to be here
Students union building quite far away from uni, and WiFi can be lacking sometimes however great services
Great experience with events there everyday. All professors are approachable and services at university are great too!
So many social spaces, very green, and a light, welcoming environment with a nice buzz. Good vibes all around
Good fun, lots to do, good facilities
Overall, the infrastructure is great, and everyone does their best. It feels slightly short staffed.
Very good overall, I'm very glad I chose bristol uni
I love constance～ She is really kind，nice and helpful and Brunel House is warm family for me！
Really good freshers welcome activities. Need more study spaces during exams though!
Wifi could be improved in some areas of the campus.
Overall, the school is very good, but the group arrangement in group work is not very reasonable
Good uni to be fair, I like the uni
fab, this uni is everything and more
The university provides excellent support services to us as international students, including social and academic events.
The university is aware of which areas need modernising and is working to achieve this. Places like the Senate House study building are amazing and the the WiFi is mostly reliable!

Amazing university! A lots of green area and welcoming staff
Have had issues with WiFi in the past but seem to have been resolved and works good now. Everyone is very friendly and lecturers are always happy to answer questions. The SU has lots of events on and good advertising. Lots of really nice and comfy social spaces but sometimes struggle to find a seat, especially at lunch. Similarly, the libraries and spots to do work in are a really good environment to study in. I am really enjoying my time here.
I wanna express my gratitude to Marilou, the reception team member. When my wardrobe door broke, she came over right away to check it out and helped me get in touch with a repair person. The door’s all fixed now—huge thanks to her!
Love the place. It provides amazing services and space
The environment is very good, very safe, the reception is very good, and the problem is dealt with quickly.
Jack is the best receptionist. I would like to congratulate him and get the management to acknowledge his help towards us Greek/Cypriots especially.
PRETTY GOOD EXPERIENCE AS A FIRST YEAR
the campus facilities are too crowded most of the time which means while they are nice it’s really hard to access them - there needs to be more. The student union and clubs are good and inclusive and there’s a wide variety.
Love the university, its such a welcoming place and I feel really well supported by both the professors and the students around me. They really make the city what it is!
It's a great university, could be better in terms of planning on my course though.
Lovely campus, with loads of societies and events that you will never fell lonely and bored. Interesting courses and supportive schools.
I think the university it's self is a great place and an amazing organisation. However, the career services really need alot of work and are very unhelpful
It a great city with lovely culture
Good teaching, good experience
There is a good accommodation environment and network, and the atmosphere for studying and living is also very good
The campus is stunning and offers a great mix of historic and modern buildings. The facilities, such as libraries and study spaces, are sufficient and well-maintained. However, the U1 bus service needs improvement. It stops operating after 4 or 5 PM, which is inconvenient for students attending evening classes or staying late at the library. Additionally, the bus starts at 9 AM, making it challenging to get to 8 or 9 AM classes on time.The variety of clubs and societies is exceptional, providing endless opportunities to explore new interests and meet people. I joined the Gliding Club, which has made my student life so much more meaningful and exciting. The vibrant community here ensures there’s something for everyone, no matter your passion or background.While the wifi is generally reliable in most places, accessing it for the first time is overly complicated. You need to download additional software which can be frustrating. Some lecture halls also have poor connectivity.
good, nice environment, friendly work stuff love the people
Fantastic university the facility’s and support from lecturers and careers staff has been great. Very helpful online sessions and meeting that can be booked to discuss career advancement and cv/applications. Would definitely recommend!
Marilov in reception assisted in helping me with my key card as counldn't fet into room
i love the rackhay so much. azbar is incredible he makes us feel safe and welcome
The wifi sometimes randomly stops working for 1-2 mins at a time for me, however I don't know if that's a fault with my equipment. I use a cable for Internet
There's no place I love more than being in Bristol as a student of UoB
Love Bristol, nice uni and pretty city
The kitchen and the apartment are great. It's easy to cook with an oven. The roommates are friendly
I am in love with the university, however the eduroam wifi fails all the time.
Wifi is fab everywhere but Queens building
My experience is good. There are many activities, and the staff is enthusiastic.
Love the study experience in UOB.
very nice people in tower management
All things almost great, happy to study here
The school is rich in educational resources, the teachers are very serious and responsible, and have learned a lot of knowledge.
The apartment service is warm, clean and tidy, the room is warm and spacious, the hotel location is superior, the room cleaning staff is also very kind, the front desk sister is very warm, the room price is also very affordable, cost-effective! What I got was not only a comfortable and pleasant stay experience, but also fireworks, that's what I said about this hotel, excellent!
Not the biggest campus but everything is walking distance.
It's a wonderful university for international students with great diversity & social experience
Really good uni, high quality services
I love my uni. It’s such a lovely place. Beautiful campus spots. SU community and events.
It's good. But there is still discrimination for the international students
Not good, struggle about the academic.
Great university - lots of societies and things to do in the city!
Very good, but the signal and wifi isn’t always the best. Possibly because of the hills in Bristol, which obviously the university can’t control.
The uni is a really good uni, with campus buildings across the city and a uni bus to take you around where you need to go. The city is beautiful and has a lot of student friendly activities and cafes and pubs/bars.
There are many kinds of clubs on campus, and the members of the student union are also friendly and enthusiastic, and have provided me with a lot of help. Thank you to every member who works hard for the well-being of students!
Very good engineering department, lecturers and lovely city.
nice university and kind professor
Overall a good experience. Some things do take time to fix, but the WiFi is a real issue. Archery society is great, and is as inclusive as possible while maintaining a safety standard that means no one is put at risk of harm
Thank you, dear Marilou, she is a lovely employee here. Thanks to her helping me find my package, it's from my hometown. I'm waiting for a month and I'm very worried. After several twists and turns, Marilou helped me find it. Thank you so much!
This apartment has provided me with an excellent living experience. The front desk staff are incredibly friendly, and they handle any issues promptly and efficiently. It truly makes me feel welcomed and well taken care of.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the University of Bristol. The academic experience is very good
Not a big campus but it’s really beautiful. Teachers are all kind and patient.
the environment is pretty good and the staffs here are all kind-hearted. i love here very much!
Good perfect nice I love this university
UoB has great facilities and opportunities to meet people
Everything is in a reasonable distance this to each other. There are loads of events going on my careers that help with futures.
Wifi is pretty terrible, but careers service is excellent and constantly advertises many events so there's something for everyone
Good experience! Great range of sports and societies.
Lot of building well maintained and student union is amazing
Jiana Cai makes my room clean and tidy, thank you! I look forward to seeing you again.
the university of Bristol is amazing love studying here but eduroam (the WiFi) is so unreliable.
I like the university very much
I often have lots of issues with the WiFi and internet
Good buildings and facilities however wifi and check in app could be better
College life has just begun...
If you want to study somewhere with character then Bristol is the place. The city itself is vibrant and exciting, but the university has its own unique charm too, with a huge variety of events and societies I really do feel there is something for everyone. There is ample support for those that need it, whether you’re a mature student with a disability like myself, or an international student adjusting to life in the UK. The welcome fair honestly blew me away by how big and festive it was! I love the university’s commitment to sustainability, I only wish they’d take it a step further and go 100% plant based!
It’s been a great experience being a part of the University Of Bristol.
The University of Bristol has amazing facilities and a great Student Union building. There are a lot of comfortable areas to both study and socialise. My experience overall has been a great one.
Nothing to be desired, bar more at the SU.
Great facilities, great societies, nearly impossible to get a careers appointment and the wifi can be a bit dodgy sometimes.
