Worst part is the fact that the campus is on top of a large hill, so any trip to the city or from private accommodation will either be a bus ride that may or may not be late or at least a 40 minute walk on an incline. This can't really be improved unless bus schedules can get more consistent (which will not happen). I do really like how many groups, sports and facilities are here, it is definitely one of the best places to continue a sport or to learn a new one, (rowing, ballroom, archery, fencing, swimming, tennis, kickboxing, etc.) .
BEST: I love being part of a sports society. The consistent training sessions and socials make for a very nice uni experience. The fact that there is a university building in the city makes it great for students who live off campus. WORST: I think the student union could be a bit more creative with their idea and branch out more into things like game night but they have other priorities, as some of the events offered are overpriced and marketed as something new where it is exactly like a weekly regular event (like the snowball). The busses are really inconsistent which hinders getting to and from uni and disrupts the overall experience.
Lovely
Bath is a safe and friendly city, and the university is in a great location with good public transport to and from town. The University of Bath has a great community feel which as a student is really comforting, especially after moving away from home to attend. I have loved my time here, and I am sad to only have one year left of my undergraduate degree.

Beautiful city, safe location and campus has everything you need!
University environment is good and makes me feel safe. Diversity in uni is pretty great. University provides a lot of opportunity in terms of placement.

They are not very considerate of students circumstances.
Anything sports is nice
Its really nice that everything is close and compact lecturers are great and engaging, lots of green spaces makes the hot weather really nice. If only bath city was more easily accessible

Bath is an amazing place to study, the city is so scenic and offers everything from small independent cafes to pubs and clubs. It’s a slightly small university but it is one of the best with state of the art equipment and amazing lectures. Bath offers both the feel of the countryside as it is surrounded by rolling hills and lots of scenery but also the feel of a town with the hustle and bustle of the main shopping and social areas. The campus itself has loads to offer with an amazing view of Bath. The golf course behind it and lots of open green spaces to eat on a sunny day. I however would say that the parade has a slightly dated feel but none the less the surrounding make up for it. One think i do think that Bath excels at is student support, I have always been offered support when needed and everyone is so friendly and happy to help (even though that sounds cheesy, it’s true!).
The way they picked the flats was amazing - they picked by what course you do so most of the people in my flat are still my best friends at uni. The worst thing would be the study spaces are sometimes super full and the buses down to oldfield park can be really unreliable

So much variety on campus with places to go between lectures considering the campus size. Good library with plenty of space Bus service can be inconvenient at times but not run by the university itself Launderette can be frustrating if machines are not working/working poorly

My university always has something going on, its supportive to so many different people and we have a really nice community. Improvements could be made to timetabling as clashes happen and lectures could all be recorded.

Staff are always happy to help. They encourage you to try things because sometimes that’s the only way to improve. The campus has a lot of study spaces so you literally study anywhere. As a black Muslim student, it can sometimes be difficult to find on campus that’s suitable or even in the city of Bath. There are some things available of course, but for the most variety, Bristol is your best bet. For me, the worst part of my uni experience has been feeling isolated through my university career.
Easy to meet new people because first years live on campus, so are all very close together. Also, the facilities, especially sports, are easily accessible and plentiful. Because the uni is slightly separate from the city centre, the feel is very different to a uni embedded in a city. This is both a good thing and a bad thing, although from second year onwards you live in the city, so it would be a different feel again.
The student union events and societies I've found were a good way to meet new people and socialise. It could be improved by more contact hours for study

Bath is a great place to study because they offer lots of study places that are all comfortable and welcoming and available at all hours for students. The student support is also amazing and I love the campus security who make the campus and city feel very safe. I don’t think it can be improved by a lot if I’m honest but I would say some of the buildings do look slightly run down on the outside but on the inside they are always great condition.
I think my course has great content, the lecturers are enthusiastic and engaging and so far the placement process has been clear. We also have lots of available hours with our lectures and personal tutors
My Accomodation is great value for money as it is on the cheaper side, it always feels very secure and safe and the internet is usually very fast. However, when our freezers broke we did have to wait over 24 hours to get it fixed which was a problem as we had to move all of our freezer stuff to ensure it didn’t go off
