Disability support was not very reliable when I wanted to know my options for a year abroad. I was not told in advance that a year in the UK is possible. However, I love my classes and lecturers. The societies are well run.
Not be on a hill
Amazing univeristy, you guys are so helpful. 100% care about my future
great experience
Variety in study spaces. Great city. Lots of societies
Good library facilities and good module choice Feel some tutors are hit and miss and they are changing the whole course including removing the dissertation which I fundamentally disagree with as they never really consulted the student body
Hard to judge the student campus since the halls are so spread out over the city. Overall the university facilities are great, though some are a bit outdated. Location is possibly the University of Bristol's best and worst quality, as being in the heart of Bristol gives you access to so many oppurtunities, but the cost of housing and shops here is a lot more than if you were further from the city centre.
University facilities are all very good and very close together
Really good facilities Hard to find housing for second year
Comfy friendly clean
Best - tutors are friendly and approachable, the content is interesting and there are a wide range of impressive libraries to study Worst - the hills
The study staff answer all the questions and the supplementary reading material is actually useful. Also student support is well organised and proactive in their work. From the negative, there are delays in figuring out my status and I have to have the same conversation with different parts of the office.
Mental health support is poor. ResiLife are not run well
Great community and facilities.
Not much I'm really happy with it,
Admin could be improved
The best aspect is my education. The worst thing is being educated at an establishment that actively funded by the occurrence of war crimes overseas.
The people i have met both on the staff and fellow students have been very nice on the whole. There is a good sense of community in most aspects of university life that makes coming here to study feel a lot like home. The worst thing I would say can be the facilities as often it is hard to find a seat in a library if it is a busy time of day but broadly this is not an issue that many will face.
Best: it is very vibrant and diverse . People are there to support you. Worst: it is not international student friendly. The uni should understand international students issues more deeply and act into it.


Could do with more funding in terms of diet.
Less coding
Heating problems were terrible and not sustainable.
