The language's department is really big so you're always meeting new people. There are nice communal study spaces and events. The teachers are enthusiastic and make you feel comfortable making mistakes in class - which can be difficult for some. They offer extra support in their office hours too. The location is great as there are many study spaces for all different types of learning.
Good accommodation
The facilities are rlly nice as well as the libraries. It would be great if we had free entry to the gym.
Worst aspect:The implementation
The city alone makes it a great place to study, without the city there isnt much that draws you into the university. The student union is very far away from any actual uni buildings. The student support is lacking with very little care about how students feel. Lecturer ability is extremely varied with some doing less than the bare minimum and others going above and beyond. Facilities such as source cafes and the numerous libraries is one of the best things about the uni itself
Lovely city with vibrant nightlife- friendly feel
The university has an active students hnion and a range of engaging societies. Academic support for students however could be significantly better with better measures for extenuating circumstances as well as more effective feedback for learning.
Could do more to make students feel supported through the course. Can feel a bit disconnected from tutors. But great facilities and staff and it is paced out well. Overall good choice
BRISTOL is my favourite city with endless to do , best nightlife with best music along with the fact youare a 10 min walk from nature and country side walks wherever you are. I've met best friends for life only sad thing is I have to leave
More student support in person as online can be very removed
Great city to live and study in.
Hard to get student support plans, but they are helpful when you have them. The campus is very nice and the location great.
Bristol is a great city
Needs more support for people who are struggling
Love it
More study space for exam season
best: nice study areas worst: no greggs nearby
Great location and oeople
I don't think the uni helps overall well with mental health and it likes to hide behind corporations they get funding from and so don't stand up to causes society should be supporting. In this way the uni doesn't have a backbone to not handle dirty money. Maybe spend more money on health services and not overloading students so they have a better quality of life. Other aspects are good, student life is good but all made by students.


All the Libraries are well stocked with good subject information and you can always find somewhere to sit and study comfortably. SU is too far from central campus.
Very good laboratories and demonstrators. All lecturers friendly and passionate about subjects.
