Sort:Latest reviewsBest aspects is probably the friends that u make and those who u spend time Worst aspects it’s probably the stress of exams and all the content u have to learn.
The university is in a great location away from the city centre with lots of greenery. There are loads of buildings and study spaces, as well as good cafes.
Very nice campus
Very good staff who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic to teach. Very keen to assist students in their learning. Some parts of the Uni are amazing - modern with great working equipment, some areas could do with improvement as the old age shows. Being such a large uni, there is always a community and group of people you can fit in with, you will never find yourself alone.

I really like UoB campus. The green heart space is lovely. I often choose to study in the main library during exam seasons but it can become too busy! It becomes stressful trying to find a study space. However, I really like the study rooms. I think there could be some more affordable food options on campus
The atmosphere and social life is amazing. There are so many activities to try and always events going on. My school especially and extremely supportive. I wouldn’t change anything
Good uni!
Best: The university has a great campus and many places to study, there's also many events to attend and things going on. Worst: maybe that I find it hard to understand in lectures
The campus has many areas for studying, but a lot of the time they are very packed, especially during exam season, so it’s hard to find a good spot. More indoor seating areas where we could eat would also be nice. The campus is very lovely, though. the workload is very heavy, however, and some of the teaching isn’t very effective – especially anatomy where we have the lecture about the content AFTER the prosection so everybody is clueless during prosection. c.
The campus has various different facilities where someone can study. Rooms are never overcrowded so someone can always find a place. Personal tutor meetings are a great way to talk about any concerns you have and wellbeing support is very openly offered.
Generally the facilities and the uni is clean and helpful but I would say an improvement is making textbooks more available online (the current system is confusing)
There are a lot of great study spaces on campus and the staff are very supportive. Although, oftentimes while on campus you'll find certain facilities are lacklustre
Lovely campus
+ Has it's own train station + Has plenty of shops on campus - The shop prices are extortionate - Lecture theatre seating is uncomfortable and too small - No longer using a central e-book collection - Lecture hours have been cut - Buildings have terrible internet connectivity - Information communications feel disorganised and overwhelming - Lack of individual teacher feedback - Not enough done at the start of the year to help commuters integrate socially - Some lessons run as late as 7pm - Unable to sit exams on a computer without already having a relevant diagnosis

The campus is absolutely lovely plenty of study options as well as food options too. Only comment maybe some of the rooms having more heating in the winter months and also having plugs at the desks for devices too
It has all the facilities and there are an array of activities that students can do such as joining societies or going to careers fair which can improve a students cv. However, there needs to be improvement in some aspects like the freshers fair which I felt was lacklustre and they should add the recordings on canvas
4.3
There is a large amount of available spaces for studying but the key areas can get very busy very quickly
Best is the broad range of topics, the worst is having to work through topics I don't enjoy
Most is the nice environment and friendly staff, worst is being so close to the road
