Overall I think UWE is pretty great. There is literally so many things you can do as well as your course. The facilities are really good, there's always a quiet room I can go in to do my work and what not. The SU is fun (lots of eye candy ;) ) The whole vibe is awesome, I'm glad I chose UWE.

All in all a relaxed and fun university. Bristol is a fantastic city that I don't think I'll ever want to leave. Uni can be a little confusing at first, especially the bus services getting to and from campus. The facilities are fantastic for the most part. The student union could be a little better, it feels really old and not as modern as the rest of the university. Lectures for the most part are good with the odd exception which 990is down to the lecturer rather than the material.

The university has good points and bad points. The social side of the university is exciting, the education is of a good standard and interesting. Everything is accessible and nearby. The halls are well looked after. There is plenty to do, including pubs and clubs for people to go and get really drunk and embarrass their self.

The course I do is really engaging and the lectures know a lot about their subject, and have outside experience from previous jobs, which they draw on to make it more interesting.The city is okay, all the shops are close to my accommodation and it is nice to walk around.The my accommodation is James Watson, I really like it. It is quite private but still very social, however not as social as some of the other halls, as it very spaced out. Still the best though.The night life is really good as well, it has a diverse amount of clubs, to suit everyones different music tastes.

The uni's a great integrated city, the balance between the city and student life is good. Nightlife can be a little disappointing but if you're happy with average music and a fairly varied choice of nightclubs then you'll be fine. The course is excellent, so much help available and the tutors are understanding and down to earth. James Watson is by far the best halls!! Busy and lots of fire alarms but much cleaner and a lot bigger than the others. The others aren't far from the main uni buildings but JW is definitely the closest, great for when its cold or raining! THERE ARE NO GOOD LOOKING MEN. Uni life is great and everything in Portsmouth is all pretty close and easily accessible

The university is very nice, however, there are some major flaws with Holland Hall accommodation rooms. For example, the shower curtains don't meet the floor and everything gets soaked at knee height level and the eating time is far too early because you end up being hungry at 9 o'clock and therefore have to order a spice magic indian or dominoes pizza.

The university itself has great facilities and a lot of space, the equipment and programs provided are really good too. It's a pretty big uni... Despite this it's pretty shoddy, the staff on many of my courses were hilariously self-involved or completely apathetic towards the course. Time spent in lectures and workshops is minimal despite paying £9000 each year. Modules initially sound really interesting but don't really teach much of what is said to have been taught.

First year was great in UWE - applying for accommodation was easy, and the room I had came with an ensuite. Room was a good size but was quite pricey, although bills are included (I stayed in Brecon Court). Throughout the 3 years everyone's seemed friendly, and I've never had any major problems, everyone seems quite keen to try and help you out if they can. The facilities available were perfect for me personally, doing a Computing course all the PCs were equipped with everything we needed, and they were powerful enough to not struggle with it (great if you don't have the $$$ to fork out on a powerful PC).The nightlife in Bristol is great and pretty much caters to everyone. Not a big fan of most clubs, but Motion in the city center is everything you could want for an underground night, and Gloucester Road is great for having a couple pints. Only gripe here would be that UWE is a bit of a trek from the city center for nights out.

In my opinion, UWE is generally a good university. The accommodation facilities are generally very good but are very expensive, especially in comparison to the prices of rooms in the rest of the city. I have found the uni very good at giving advice for careers and the research is of a high level. Like most unis, I would say if you want to work then you will receive a lot of help, and if you don't put in the effort, lecturers are not so inclined to help. Generally, I think UWE is underrated as it is not a 'traditional' university, however they are very much up and coming.

I've really enjoyed my time here so far. My course is fantastic with some great lecturers who are always willing to help and provide guidance wherever is needed. I would say that it is a very different experience living in a student house rather than in halls. Halls are right next to all the night life venues whereas the majority of student houses tend to be situated about a half an hour walk away. This isn't a big problem as taxis cost about £5 max, so when split between people it's a very small fare. The union is a great place to meet up with people and offers some fantastic societies and clubs.
