The best aspects of my uni experience is that I’m currently living in campus which allows me to be close to every establishment of the university. My flat is wonderful. My classes are all very close to my accommodation which is very comfortable. Also, the extracurricular activities are very well designed and I have been able to find the ones that fit me best. However, it’s not always easy to leave away from home as it’s quite a long time. Also the exams period was pretty stressful as it was the first I experienced in uni, and I didn’t exactly know how it was going to be like.
Bath is a great campus uni, with all the facilities in one place, which gives it a great feel and sense of community. There are so many societies to get involved with, as well as the opportunity to participate in sports teams at a variety of levels.
The only real downside of living at bath as a student is the price of everything- not much cheaper than London prices. However, bath is a beautiful city and the resources provided to us both in an educational aspect and in a social aspect are endless.
Getting up to campus can be a challenge at times - especially if the module itself doesn't feel worth it. Other than that, the instruction can be strong and it's quite pleasant being up there, once you look past the obvious.
As part of a performance sport programme, I spend a lot of my time training at the university as well as academic involvement. The purpose-built dojo is a unique facility of which I am aware other UK universities do not offer and was a major deciding point when finalising my choice of university. This has allowed me to continue on my sporting journey alongside accessing higher education. I find it difficult to rate the categories listed above as I do not have experience elsewhere to compare.

Student wellbeing and career support is truly amazing, and they have lots of events. My department is excellent, and I feel everything they’ve taught me has challenged me and given me lots of skills and knowledge. I also made great friends, I wouldn’t have wanted to go anywhere else. I suppose the only thing I’d that the campus isn’t very pleasant to the eye, its buildings look quite industrial. Would rate my experience a 9/10 overall.
I love the student support services, both academic and personal. I do think there could be better, more long-term mental health support because that is hard to access. The univeristy itself is well connected to the bus system and the campus is generally well maintained. There could be more check-ins in first year to see how you are getting on and a matching process to best-match people to live in student accomodation in first year (e.g. like matched on personality, similar interests etc) as I know other universities do that and it would probably help reduce the number of people who feel they don't get along with their flatmates, improving their student experience.
Although facilities for student support are available on campus I feel that the university should push this information more to make the students aware of the full range of facilities that are available for them to use. This is because students are often unaware of a lot of things that are provided by the uni and have to search a lot which in my opinion shouldnt be the case.
It has amazing facilities for studying and research. Along with providing a vast variety of additional support academically and to further skills such as learning a new language or joining societies to learn a new skill.
I like how it's a campus university, as everything is in one place. The SU also organises a lot of activities, and the free use of sports facilities is nice. I wish there were some more healthy food options and that buses to campus were cheaper.

I have loved my four years at Bath uni, and really feel at home there
Best: 1. lectures are actually interested in helping students to succeed. They are always available, easy to talk to, and are very passionate for their respective topics 2. there is a good mix between coursework and exams 3. library is 24/7/365 4. sports facility is at the highest level (with several national and olympic athletes) Worst: 1. can't think of anything
The student support is the best part including year abroad, finances, academics etc.
The University having a proper campus really helps smoothen the studying process. Travelling to the university is a real pain because of it being on the hill. Improving the bus facilities and making them regularly frequent would really help.
The university quickly gave me a sense of "home" and I was comfortable in staying in campus. Whenever I needed help, Student Support seemed very welcoming and accommodated my needs. Despite some of the facilities and outlook of the university looking a bit old, (walls, buildings etc.), the vibe of the campus is really nice and I really enjoy studying here.
Pretty town and good professors with interesting content. Not much to do for students in town and housing is difficult to find and not great quality
Great education and connections for placements and career opportunities. Wellbeing team are excellent but wait times are ridiculous. Some buildings are outdated such as the library
The staff are lovely and really support you pastorally and academically throughout your time at Bath. It's an academically rigorous course that challenges you in ways you would not expect. Campus is great with lots of food and drink outlets. It could be improved by being a bit more reinforcing in terms of the content we learn rather than just constantly learning new material. I think this would boost student confidence in chemistry.
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.

Very good facilities, and being a campus uni everything is right on your doorstep. Especially when in first year if you live on campus. Good events as well.
Good lecturers, but very busy schedule, especially as only a first year. All in person lectures, yet all are recorded.
Amazing location, 2 mins walk from anywhere on campus. No safety concerns, all rooms are the same, each with a sink and shared toilet/showers. WiFi is the same as the entire uni, very fast. Fairly cheap (for bath) and bills included. Bins are emptied for you, and any faults will be fixed but can sometimes be a bit slow
