Very expensive to participate in most sports which is difficult for Lower income students. Also not enough recreational sport that is run properly, the whole Bath uni experience is very expensive in comparison to most of my friends university experiences
Very good

The only thing that really needs to be improved is the buses. My best experience is the involvement of the professors, the number of cafes and the library open 24/7
Studying in bath has been a blast. I love the city as well as the university due to its diverse range of facilities and experiences. It has allowed me to meet new people, many of which have become great friends of mine. The learning experience has also been a fun one
Modern environment
Since its a campus university, all the facilities are close by and I save a lot of time and money in commuting at least in the first year.
Everything is a relatively short distance away, especially during first year living on campus. Lecturers are engaging and deliver content well even online. Could be improved by more consistent buses from student accommodation to campus especially during busy periods.
It’s a very welcoming place and has great sports facilities. It has a quick bus to the city centre and there are loads of clubs and societies on everyday. I think to be improved they could have another club as there are limited clubs in the city for nights out, but the university does try to help with this by having university club nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I really like the accommodation and there’s loads of different places to choose to live depending on how you feel. The years are really immersed together when you're in a society so you get to know lots of people.

Uni of Bath is a big advocate for mental health in students, and all the staff (on my course at least) are super understanding and helpful! They always reply to your emails, take time out to help you with your assignment and give feedback wherever possible. If one thing could be improved, it would be the buildings - some are slightly outdated which don’t fit in with the newer buildings being built. I would also suggest that it could be a cheaper place to live, especially considering it is student dominated - prices are extortionate!

Despite covid, the university has allowed me to continued to learn and grow as a student whilst supporting me in all ways they could. The structure of the lectures has improved and the lecturers have become more aware of the workload and difficulty of the course due to them having access to all of the material.

The teaching has improved compared to last year however lecturers have become used to getting carried away with content. The support services have improved and help is always available and the waiting times are shorter than last year.
Disclaimer: I graduated in 2013 under the reign of Glynis 'Big Money' Breakwell. I doubt the university has changed much since. I enjoyed my time at university because I like learning and enjoyed the subject I studied. Did university help my career? No - despite working my balls off for 3 years I did not get a graduate level job in a timeframe I would deem acceptable. Should you study at Bath? No probably not - I wouldn't say it is 'value' for money.
A truly enjoyable time with lots of experiences both career based and social based. Slightly let down by a university which shows its young age and lack of knowledge. Lecturers miss key factors which those with experience would have as second nature. Students are not treated as well as they should be in terms of respect as well as in their education. Many aspects to improve on, notably higher quality teaching and less focus on the money/politics surrounding running a university.
