Sort:Latest reviewsI love the campus feel it makes you really immersed within the university experience and makes the time feel so much more intimate. Although, facilities upon campus such as Fresh the shop do have awkward sales hours and is not that affordable for students
Easy to navigate and 10 minutes from my home. Not great support for revision and note taking. I am unsure how to write good lecture notes.
Best things: the people here are really lovely and staff are helpful. Worst things: the cost of living in Bath.
For such a pretty city the campus looks a bit eh by comparison. But its really really good for my course and the people are so lovely
Best is the environment nature around and on campus. The community feel Accommodation needs updating
Campus buildings are dated but overall such good student experience and support all round.
The campus has everything, gym markets, nice food. It’s frustrating that everything closes so early and I can’t get dinner past 7. I love the management building it is very modern and has nice and spacious lecture halls, however some of the other buildings need to be renovated which is a possible improvement. There are many nice and available accommodation options on campus such as the one i’m in (Polden Court). I have found the eat and drink credit very useful. The staff is very kind and supportive and give us many useful resources.
Best-Quality of Teaching Worst- Commuting to Campus
The student support at the university is amazing as there are so many people available to help. The location of the university in location to the town/the transport system could be improved.
Good lectures
Moving out has been very smooth and fun however adjusting to being taught during lectures has been difficult
The sports facilities are amazing and the city is lovely! The campus itself isn’t quite as pretty, and could do with some updates to the older buildings. The beauty of the campus is not comparable to that of the University of Birmingham and Durham.
The location of the campus is great however there is not much diversity on campus. The course is generally interesting but can be repetitive at points. A lot of the assessments are in the form of group work which can be really frustrating, especially in the later years where group work contributes to your final degree grade!
Even though campus isn’t the most beautiful, it does have some lovely aspects like the like and has a lovely walk all the way round. Campus has a nice vibe too it, not too big to feel overwhelming but big enough to not feel cramped! You are given lots of points of contact in the first year and are made aware of student support and how to get the most of it!

It’s super close to Bristol, so many smaller towns nearby - you’ll always find something to do. The Roman baths is free. Societies are active and well funded. Regular activities means that there are so much to do. Lectures are taught well with lectures ready to actively respond to your emails. Paid on campus internships available. Active student union jobs readily available on campus.
My experience at the University of Bath has been incredible so far! The academic support is strong, and the campus offers an excellent balance between work and social life. But what really excites me is the placement year, a significant advantage that gives students valuable exposure to the industry. Additionally, the sports facilities and various societies make staying active and meeting like-minded individuals easy. Living in Polden Court has been a comfortable experience, especially with the ensuite rooms and the convenient location. However, it's important to note that the cost of living in Polden is higher than in other accommodations. Also, the uphill terrain on campus can be quite challenging, especially during inclement weather. One area for improvement could be the availability of more affordable food options on campus. While there are some great places to eat, prices can be high for students on a budget. More variety in social events that cater to different interests would also be a welcome addition.
Moving in mid semester as I didn't know anyone in my year. My room had a leak in my first 3 weeks I find it hard to find time to go into city Met lots of nice people Joined new societies Cheaper bus fares and more free student meals
it has amazing facilities with amazing teaching - improvement by another study area
love the city
