Its a very good uni though. I like the building, the academic structure and the socials. Just the city of Bristol itself is a bit pricey and hilly. But for the uni, the teaching is ok, the the examination is ok though it is far away from where you study

No complaints about the uni itself other than that the support for freshers could be better, as starting university can be incredibly overwhelming and all the events only added to that - having schemes like other unis where the upper years are assigned to freshers and guide them through the week would have really made a difference to my freshers experience

Completing my postgraduate studies at the University of Bristol was an extremely exciting experience. The overall experience was very good, and most of the teachers were very knowledgeable and kind, especially Professor Ai-Ling Lai, whose teaching style I really enjoyed! However, the professional abilities of some teachers were a bit disappointing, and they did not seem to match the professional image of the University of Bristol. Overall, the experience of studying at the University of Bristol will be a memorable and unforgettable wonderful memory in my life.

Very proud of its elite reputation, but counting on it for everything which makes an open dialogue and critique difficult to raise. Teaching is incredibly varied at Sociology. The structure of units often messy, and inconsistencies between units. Academics usually more engaged with their own ‘’marginalised’ position as academics rather than students’ rights and respect for their payments and basic rights like appeal and genuinely blind marking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
