Very good /fun
the universtiy of bolton is a convinent uni as everything is close by, easy to go from one lecture to anither the participantion of lectures in the wducation of students is outstanding the courses are made fun and enjoyable. Overall a lovely universtiy yo attend
A multicultural place to learn new things and mix with different people. Studying here has allowed me to grow as a person, to exert my independence and know when to rely on others.
Amazing university that offers a wide range of courses to choose from nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnsjdnsnsnndndnsnsnshsjshshshdjshhsjsjsjsjsjsjsjsjhsjsjsjsjsjsjdjdjsjshdhsjsjsjsjsjdjhssjjsjshs
Not the best university town, doesn't give the best university experience. Course however is very good, lectures are helpful and very good. Spent a term here, can't wait for three years to be up to move onto a more student friendly town/city.
being from boloton I really like the town and the location of the uni., the only problem that I have is with the parking, my one piece of advice would be to make as many friends as possible and enjoy every minute of university life before it passes you by
As a mature student i have enjoyed the university experience. THe classes are a good size and everyone is really friendly. There is a really nice atmosphere in the lectures and this is nice because i was worried that being a mature student that people wouldnt have any time for me
The halls of residence are minging you really do not want to live there, I would recommend if you can to share a house with other friends/classmates, students union is wicked, it is been a sick three years! Enjoy it while it lasts because itll be over before you know it!
I really like the uni and the small class sizes are good however some modules are boring. It is hard to comment on some things as I am married and have my own house and do not socialise here so cannot give an honest opinion.
Great experience productive and informative course, good standard of teaching, great peer groups opena nd accessible to all regardless of age gender race etc. ihave really enjoyed my time at the university so far, my one piece of advise would just be to sieze every opportunity that you get while you are here
The content of the courses is good and the size of the lectures is quite small so the teaching is quite good. he social aspects of the uni are not as good, nightlife poor and not enough clubs and societies to join.
the uni is ok, lecturers are really knowledgeable and full of get up and go, the campus is really nice and clean, bolton it iself isnt the best town to be in. Best advise would be to pick your uni by a combination of course you want to do and where you want to be, do not just end up on the course you want in a terrible town
the taught sessions overall are very good, there are some logistical issues with theis years course however these are being reviewed for next year. there a renot enough facilities used for the foundation group and we are often guinea pigs for teacher training purposes which I do not like.
make a wise choice in the course that you pick as you do not want to pick the course that is not suited for you otherwise you will end up unhappy and regretting the choice that you made. Bolton is not a nice place to live, Manchester is way better and I recommend spending as much time in Manchester as you possibly can
Make sure you know your chose career before picking your degree. The facilities are really good, Bolton one is brilliant, the lecturers are really good and seem really interested in every student. The only bad thing is that it is not in Manchester, Manchester is so much better than Bolton.
At the moment I am enjoying university and being at Bolton. I would recommend this university as it has very good sports facilities and the course is good also. Going out is ok in Bolton but manchester is better!
the university it iself is great, lectures are good and the facilities are decent do need an update though, student life is not great here the union bar and events are rubbish and Bolton is not a great place to go out, but that is why I get the train to Manchester, it is not far
Enjoying university life, but some advice, make sure you put in a lot of effort and manage your time well so you fit in getting all your assignments and well as lectures and practical stuff.
Feels quite clinical, would like the experience to feel warmer and more inclusive. Not much info on SU and i do not socialise in the area. Job prospects seem quite promising but feel a revamp of lecturing to make lectures more interaction would be beneficial in addition to more communication from lecturers to keep students more informed.


Great so far tutors are really nice. Other staff are very pleasant if you have to go to them. Overall experience has been better than the last time which was great. Really good experience
Not great for young students I guess
No idea
