Campus is beautiful, wifi is excellent in almost every where. And there is a society for almost anything you can imagine
University of Bristol has a peaceful campus with a high population diversity.
good uni overall, lovely city and good teachers
Beautiful city and university, absolutely love it
I have no clue what to say here. This government has screwed everyone over and my first year university experience has been pretty mundane. I have no clue what the clubs/societies/student union are like. CHAOS is the physics society and is meant to be pretty decent but what can you do if everyone’s under lockdown? Oh brilliant, Rocket league tournaments! Zoom quizzes! Guest lecturer spending the first 10 minutes trying to figure out how to unmute themselves! I don’t blame the university but it still feels lacklustre, I hope there is more of an effort when lockdown restrictions are lifted but honestly who knows? Who cares? Not me anymore. Btw the physics building is pretty good- lab experiments are done well and with all the preparations there’s nae chance of catching Covid.
the uni throughout covid have been pretty bad tbh not given us a lot of reassurance and have been super slow in opening facilities compared to other unis
havent been able to access the in person facilities since november. libraries have also been shut for the majority of the year. this is really frustrating especially coming from such a highly ranked uni as my friends at other universities have had access to their libraries and friends on the same course as me at other unis have had in person teaching for a number of weeks now.
Very nice University with great ideas. Campus is very beautiful, staff members are very helpful and I do believe it is one of the best Universities across the U.K.
Great university and love the city. Teaching has been fantastic at the medical school despite COVID! Love it
I enjoyed learning from great teachers & the ample academic resources! Due to covid, we haven’t managed to enjoy the campus facilities.
Bristol is such a nice city to study in. I find my course really interesting and am glad I chose it
Beautiful school building, lovely and experienced teachers, and the staff here are hard-working with quick reponse speed. Really enjoy the life here.
Bu university is famous all over the world for its combination of outstanding academic innovation and independent and forward-looking spirit. By 2018, 13 Nobel laureates have been trained, which is always at the forefront of global research.
UoB is an excellent university with lots of diversity and different societies. Everyone can find a place to fit in. Throughout my experience at UoB I have always had excellent guidance as a student.
Difficult to experience most of these during lockdown, but has been a good experience so far with the university.
Most people you meet ar very friendly and it is easy to make conversation with people.
Due to the pandemic,we international students are locked at home and are unable to enjoy the same learning and social experience as previous students but charged the same or more.
I have to stay at my room for whole day because of the lockdown, so I have to say I lose many opportunities to travel around and meet with new friends.
Our school is very good, the curriculum arrangement is very reasonable, the teachers are very conscientious, they can patiently solve our problems.
Good teaching quality, patient and professional professors and tutors. Beautiful school buildings.
Provides nice facilities and services. Enjoy so much my time here.
a。good university I think I will spend a significant year here . Thanks for the service.
happy life and happy time with happy guys. make me feel warm，it's always very clean
The overall strength of the school is strong, the geographical position is superior, Bristol city is very livable and the climate is very good.
Nice teachers and course arrangement. Challenging but enjoyable courses and assignments. Beautiful campus and city.
Nice. The internet connection is not very stable.
I haven't had a class on campus because of the epidemic, but I believe the campus environment must be beautiful
I love this university ，because I Have made friends with other people.The teachers in the university is very patient
it‘s a pleasant and colorful experience here
The school is good especially the career services
Great experience of studying in University of Bristol.
it's good but terrible experience due to the COVID-19
The student union is pretty responsible and has worked a lot for us.
Bristol University is a very academic university.
Very nice university! The campus is very beautiful and facilities are well-established!
I love the housekeeping service most and I feel safe and comfortable living here.
Good place.though I have to take online classes for the whole term
Although it is affected by the covid 19, University of Bristol offers sufficient support for me to study online
high reputation nice education environment friendly classmates wise professors
Although all classes are online, however, it’s still a good experience to study here in British
The teachers are very responsible but I still hope to study on campus
what a pity little classes in campus
Pretty good.All of the staff are very nice
Nice teaching quality, various student activities and great guidance for career
I am satisfied with everything.
good facilities! and friendly staff
The University is very strong in teaching and research.
Actually, due to covid-19, most of my courses are delivered via the internet. I just went to the campus several times. So the review may not be very precise.
the uni is not bad to be frank
U won't regret coming bristol is a simple way to put it
I don't really have an outlook about my university because I have not been there because all my classes for the moment are online.
My dream school and I am happy to be a part of it. Tutors are nice and helpful.
It's one of the best university in UK. The teaching staffs are well experienced and kind enough to make you feel welcome. I really enjoy their teaching and interaction with students.
Great university with top class features.
good study experience and beautiful campus
The faculty is a bit laid-back and just give people the chance to discuss everything.
Taking online courses so know little about campus.
Only been here a short time but everything has been great so far
There really isn't a better university in my, slightly biased, opinion!
My experience was rubbish at UoB. In terms of academic achievement, I could have done much better. The way they mark coursework is vey unfair, which has contributed in my performance, and as a result, my wellbeing. Not all the staff are helpful; I could barely get advises, I find it very hard to references for job/post graduate applications. I have seen quite intense conservative assertion from my personal tutor, which put me off asking for help at all. But, it potentially can be a good uni tbh, mainly cause the beautiful city of Bristol.
Absolutely love the uni so far, lecturers are so helpful, I don't think my experience was anything which I expected (Covid) but the uni are handling it the best they can. The city is so charming, I felt at home almost immediately.
this is a very nice place to stay, 24 hours reception in 7 days a week, fully equipped shared kitchen, individual room and restroom, a great back yard, very satisfying social space.
UoB is truly a great place to study. The city is very much student oriented, very safe and very active, there's lots of opportunities to have fun all around the place. The course I'm taking has been super interesting, and the quality of the teaching is very high. There's a lot of societies around! Careers service is one of the best around the UK.
I've loved my experience at the University of Bristol. I've had inspiring and interesting lecturers, opportunity for developing other skills, such as through the career service and other academic skills. The university has a good interaction with student through social media so I feel like they are there to support us and listen to our queries.
Famous university and good education
Good facilities and nice location
Our university offers plenty of helps in study, career and life. There are many useful learning materials like SAS, STATA, even a Bloomberg room. And there are a lot of career services to help student find a job. Student clubs organized many activities to enrich our lives. Everything is awesome.
University of Bristol is one of the most prestigious universities and has a lot to offer. There are variety of services provided to help students with student life.
Im general is not the best campus, although professors and teaching is great
The campus is very beautiful. There’re lots of activities running by students union and career centre that make students know more about the university and future jobs.
nice campus and environment. nice libraries and staffs
Beautiful open campus located near city centre but have to climb hills if you live downtown
I love Bristol and UoB. It's sad to lose opportunity of face to face class due to COVID-19.
Very short experience in taught postgraduate experience. But still good in life experience and student care.
It is a city campus university.The infrastructure is good and the teachers are really helping and cooperative.
Great Experience of city blended with University. Happy vibe and lovely atmosphere
Exceptional University which cares for the students and their well-being. Professors seek to help you the best way they can and to provide you with the best academic experience possible.
Bristol uni is great for its reputation but they definitely overwork their students & aren’t racially diverse (especially in terms in staff)
Wonderful university and highly ranked in my particular subject area. The academics are rigorous and there is a notable emphasis on research - traits that make for great employability and possibly prestigious careers. It will be difficult, especially as an international student, but it is worth it.
Our university is so quiet and provide me an amazing study experience. Library is large and bright.
I like the environment in the university and good opportunity to meet new friend and people
UOB is a very nice institution because I meet so many friends here. I like the teachers and the school staff . I love UOB
I was spectig way too more from Uob. But the curricula is highly UK centrist (although the university portraits itself as an International one). Plus the levels of bureaucracy are absolutely absurd (even for straightforward things as a asking for a microphone and sound) and at Uob always there is going to be two problems for one solution...
Perfect experience here learn not only the knowledge but also more important how to be independent
The housekeeping service is really nice and the reception staff are all friendly and patient to deal with problems.
Going to be honest and tell you not to believe a lot of these reviews. They seem to be dubious in their authenticity. Bristol is a lovely city and has some great people, but also some not so great people. It is probably (behind Durham) the poshest university in the country, and the demographics of the people attending reflect that. That said, I have made some really lovely friends, just don't feel the need to conform to the posh gear-head stereotype, it gets old after about three weeks! The real issue is the teaching. My course (Geography) has been interrupted and cancelled throughout my first two years, both trough industrial actions and Coronavirus. Engagement with students is pretty horrendous. I feel that this is masked through the 'self-sufficient' attitude the university tells you to adopt, but in reality I feel this is just a scape goat for them to not really give a **** about your concerns or queries. Lecturers often don't show up, cancel, and will never reply to your emails.
Excellent school. Facility is brand new.
The university provides so many resources to students in many different ways. It pays attention to their well-being, future career, and academic performance, for sure. There are so many study place with computers and printers available. The campus WiFi is quite stable. Since it takes a longer time and more energies to go to campus everyday, The uni also provides bus voucher to those living in farther uni accommodations (e.g. resident village east).
Even though the halls are spread out, the actual uni campus isn'y really like this, everything you need could be found in a fairly small area (e.g. study spaces, shops etc.). The city is a really great place and there's loads of independent businesses around to support. The internet at the uni is really good, never had any issues with that. Certain times of the day can be busier when trying to find study spaces, so it's usually better if you get to uni earlier, but there's loads of places you can try. I didn't have much of an experience with the SU, but there's a society for everyone.
I hope careers service could be running online under the coronavirus situation, for example, online lectures, online mock interviews, etc.
I didn’t join any club. The wifi of UoB is good.
I love going to the uni of bristol. There are so many societies and sporting activities to get involved with. The uni is in a great location and Bristol is such a beautiful place with a good balance between city life and nature. Nightlife is really good with a range of clubs and different music.
I love our campus. I am proud of our school.
An inspiring and lively environment to be in, with lots of like-minded individuals to meet and get to know. You'll always see a friendly face whenever you're on campus. Being located in the heart of the city makes you truly feel integrated, and there's less separation between students and locals.
Pretty Wonderful university except a long ascent to go to school
The best uni ever!! I am doing my masters in accounting and finance. One of the few unis that they have access to bloomberg trading systems. Amazing tutors!! Extremely passionate about their jobs. If I had to do it from the begining, I would have still choose UWE.
I’m really enjoying my time at UoB. I love the campus and feel well looked after by the student union and other services provided to students, such as the PGR hub. I really enjoy lectures with leading professors in my subjects.
Career Service is nice，but I don’t really agree with the strike
World class teaching, with good study spaces, excellent Wifi connectivity. Large green spaces for hanging out with friends, walks, and being around nature. Very international, and supportive of international students. Student Union located outside actual University precinct, could have a better location.
Good uni to study in. Good lecturers
