Best is definitely the amazing campus, access to the best facilities and academics with the opportunity to to get involved in current research
The university has a great location with a beautiful campus
The best aspect of student life is that it’s very easy to make friends and there’s so many societies available to find people with the same or similar interests. The worst aspect is that not all the buildings are good environments for lectures, especially when you have a small course and are placed in the cramped rooms with no windows.
Wonderful campus and wide, diverse community with high quality education and facilities
it truly is so fun! the academic staff is amazing, there's always someone for your support if you need anything, there's always something going on on campus and everyone really values and respects you! it's really like a dream come true, and so many opportunities to so, whether its sports teams, societies, volunteering or even jobs and everything, you will definitely find yourself here. and it's never boring! i love going to uni here so much.
Peaceful
The best: I think the school library provides a machine specifically to help students who forget to bring their student cards into the library, which I think is really user-friendly and well thought out. The worst part: The road in front of the student dormitory is very uneven. When it rains, there will be deep water on the road in front of my dormitory. I have to step through the water.
Great campus but theres not much support for international students
I enjoy the ambiance around the campus, and the facilities. The library, restaurants, and coffee shops are really great places to go on campus and they offer a variety of choices. The only thing I wish could be improved is the locations of the classes, I wish they were a little ore consistent with booking the locations of the classes for the entire semester so that we don't get lost. I constantly have to check my timetable that I saved in the beginning of the semester so I know when and where my classes are during the week because they fluctuate so often. I also wish the class sizes for seminars and workshops were a little bigger, I have 5 people in one of my seminars and I find it hard to consistently go there because it's a little awkward.
i think everything is good, but maybe because i dont have anything else to based it and compare on. Still good though, no complaints.
The student support and activities are reallly engaging and helpful. However I do have to say that I'm not enthusiastic about the location of most of my lectures, especially most times they are very far apart from each other (ends of campus). Walking this much in the cold weather has be affecting me a lot these past few days, so I would be grateful if changes could be made about that. The teaching is overall pleasant and satisfactory.
Turn up the heating, it's freezing
The student union is great, there are many events.
Huge university with many different amenities, the library space could be improved
The best thing is definitely the whole university vibe: the architecture, the clean and cozy environment, and how friendly everything feels. I also love how UoB has a huge accommodation area, it’s so thoughtful for students and really gives that full student-life experience. The only downside is the poor cleanliness of the Guild of Students’ toilets.
It's an amazing university ! I come from France and this university has nothing to compare with the one I used to go in France, I'm so glad to be here ! The campus is beautiful and in addition the student support and life is really great !

The academic support and resources made me feel confident in studying.
The course is generally interesting and related to the society, which I find it really engaging. However, some of the modules content are not depth enough and every single words are read off the slides.
