The only real complaints that I have is there is not nearly enough study space for the vast numbers of students! And that the buses are so rubbish they don’t go into one student area anymore and the queues are so long that I know lots of people that end up ubering too and from which is terrible environmentally but necessary. I think the student community and sports facilitates are incredible I would recommend bath to any sports player in a heartbeat.

Excellent facilities for both laboratory (biochemistry, biomechanics and physiology modules) and field-based research. There was a range of placement opportunities available, with lots of support provided during the application process. Bath also has an extremely nice campus with lots of green space and places to study. Furthermore, the city is picturesque, while being surrounded by countryside One problem is that Bath is an expensive area, which can make budgeting difficult when finding houses for each year, along with signing up to different sport clubs or societies

My course is very well structured and the lecturers are second to none. I love the abundance of opportunities within the SU and societies and campus is well equipped. My worst part of uni is the bus. Commuting from Oldfield park took me over an hour last year

A beautiful and homely city to be living in. Better campus facilities like more shops or food/drink places would be nice but space is limited.

Really like how the campus is separate to the city, so it feels like its own space and the facilities especially sports ones are great. At the same time the campus being on a steep hill is quite inconvenient as there are limited options to get to campus (bus, uber or walk).

Great teaching staff, super receptive to unit reviews. Campus is nice and the walking route definitely helps reduce stress especially during exam seasons. Library is sometime crammed especially towards exam season.

The canoe club I joined has been the best aspect of my experience with trips, coaching sessions and facilities. Worst experience is the budgeting , money has been very tight with little support

There is a really nice community feel due to being a small campus university. It is surrounded by really nice location with the city and countryside with bigger cities like Bristol and Cardiff being easily accessible too. It is great for studying sport as there is a large emphasis on that overall at the Uni and plenty opportunities to immerse yourself in research, sport and clubs/societies. The campus has some nice areas such as the lake, chancellors building and STV and school of management facilities but some of the buildings such as Wessex house and Norwood are very outdated and not pleasant to look at.
