Accessing student health and mental health services take ages. Like the study spaces and chill out areas.

Best - I love the location of the uni and how there is a gym on campus. I especially love the global lounge where you can get free drinks and biscuits. Worst - apart from the global lounge there is little to no free hot water or like tea and coffee

There are many great places to study. It could be improved by providing students with a more outlined specification of what you need to know for the course

SU and SEH are very poorly run and give little support to student groups. Course is really good and well taught

The best part is easily the way the course is structured. I have never felt that I didn't have enough time to complete an assignment, and whenever I emailed asking for help on something I got a response within the hour. I feel that the some of the workshops on offer every week could be improved in terms of content, but the lectures are always interesting and delivered well.
Each unit has one lecture to complete in your own time every week, and two that are delivered in person by a lecturer. We are given work we can do outside of these to improve our own understanding and memory. Assignments are given every few weeks, usually essays, and we are given plenty of support on these so we know what to do. We have scheduled contact time with our tutors every few weeks, and have their email so we can contact them whenever we need.
I'm staying right by the river in the centre of Bristol. It's a ridiculously good location 20mins walk from campus and 5mins walk from Cabot Circus. The WiFi is fast and rooms are warm. Only thing I can complain about is that university halls are generally reserved for first years, so it's almost impossible to get in as a second, third, or fourth year.
