Sort:Latest reviewsUniversity and city is really supportive to student life and it's feels good living here.. open access to library 24*7 , market for food really makes a big difference for living on campus .... To improve there can be more visit to industry guest lecture and intra uni competition
The course is well structured and a good level of work. I enjoy the student life and a good mix of the campus and city in my life. The downsides are the campus is not big enough for the amount of students and is very busy all the time. The facilities are outdated and not very modern, especially the facilities that my course uses. I wish there were more study spaces available and dining spaces that are big enough for everyone to fit in at rush times.
Bath has lovely students and all of the staff have been super friendly and accommodating! The campus is nice on a sunny day but sometimes looked a bit drab. I have never had to attend student support (luckily) so have very neutral opinions about them. The facilities are quite good. I have never had a problem with the bathrooms and there are loads of them everywhere. There's multiple coffee shops and that sell cheap and yummy drinks. There are good spaces to revise that are cute. However, sometimes these spaces are very full.
The best would be the environment while the worst is just the lines for food.
Very inclusive and fun!

best: lots of support available worst: buses
The bath uni app is terrible and glitchy. We get free access to the swimming pool, which is really cool. I like that there is a duck pond on campus. Could be more study areas around campus outside of the library. The SU run a lot of events and there is a lot of affordable food outlets on campus.
It is a great university with good facilities. Not the best nightlife in town but it is still fun.
Bath is a beautiful city, and the university campus is a lovely place to be. There are plenty of lunchtime food options, though the evening options are somewhat lacking. As a mature student, I do feel a little out of place amongst some of my younger peers, and it would be nice if there were more social options for older students. The teaching style can be quite fast paced, depending on the lecturer. I think more assistance for those students that struggle with this would be very much welcome.
The best aspects are the amount and quality of facilities. It truly amazes me every single time I step into the STV and see the equipment and also the amount of classes I am able to sign up for. The actual campus and city is absolutely gorgeous and I feel so safe walking around it every single day. I am not much of a going out person and so staying in is more for me and I do love it and find it very cosy and comfortable. The only thing is, which I am aware probably cannot be solved is the fact that when I am trying to fall asleep, the area between the quads and solsbury court is like an echo chamber. Anyone who says anything is carried straight through the window and it is not the worst thing ever but just difficult to get a good night sleep.
The university of bath is located in a beautiful city and the campus itself is very nice with lots of study spaces and nice spots. The university provides support as soon as you join.
Best parts: Study spaces Variety of food vendors on campus Academic support Worst parts: Buses are always late and full
Best - 24/7 Library Worst - Cramped storage for Lab sessions
Best = I love the sports facilities and the wide range of societies Worst = the shops on campus are very expensive, and it makes the cost of living quite high, especially because bath is an expensive area
Excellent campus, plenty of study spaces both on site and in the city
Haven't been at Bath that long but overall I am really enjoying my university experience at Bath. I live on campus and it's very convenient to get to lectures and activities although I've heard that getting from the City to campus can be busy and inconvenient at times. My course Politics and IR is great so far - there's a lot of reading and its interesting. Freshers' week had lots of activities like a Welcome Ball and there a lots of societies to choose from including sports. There are also lots of options for food on campus.

The best thing about Bath is that all of the people are so nice and welcoming and I feel that I can always get support. Furthermore, so far I have really been enjoying my course and my lectures are very entertaining. Another great thing about Bath is the opportunities to explore what I will do in the future. I found the Autumn careers fair to be very insightful and I love the fact that Bath offers support for students looking to do a year in industry. The only problem that I have is that the bus queues can be quite long and it’s somewhat inconvenient and expensive to travel to the city.
Best is the teaching Worst is the transport
The location is the only negative aspect. Very unfriendly for cyclists like myself - had to abandon cycling to uni and bought the bus pass due to the sheer scale of the hill. 185m straight of elevation makes it very hard to scale with all my bags for the day. Nonetheless, every other aspect is fantastic and the location can’t be controlled anyway. Nailed all the factors they have control over.
4.4
it’s the prettiest city and has loads to do if you look for it buses get really busy at peak times, and one of the most direct buses doesn’t run after 6pm which can get inconvenient
it’s heavy on the hours but definitely manageable. i feel very supported by the university
it was decent, bedrooms were a good size, easy to socialise but it was a bit cramped in the kitchen
