Best parts: - beautiful city to live in - supportive staff members on my course - good support whilst on placement year
The university transport needs to be worked out, there are only about 50 parking spots for non permit holders. We pay a silly amount of money to attend these lectures and I often miss lectures because of cancelled busses. If there were the facilities for me to to be able to drive up and park for less than a fortune that would be great
It's been very fun meeting everyone. The lecturers are very clear and the campus is very good and has everything we need.
The city is an amazing place to live; the facilities, especially sports facilities are amazing. The worst part is the expenses; the bus prices make it hard to explore more of Bath.
Being at uni is a perfect transition from childhood to adulthood. The facilities and support provided by the uni allows me to navigate aspects of adulthood that I previously have no idea about. The groups and societies at the SU allows me to reconnect with my old hobbies and interests, continue my current ones, and even pick up something new, as well as meeting people with similar interests as me. However, because the university of Bath's campus is situated on top of a hill, almost everybody takes the bus to commute to campus. Unfortunately, this adds up to a huge expense every year and would've been better if this cost can be reduced. Housing also becomes more competitive and expensive every year. I also wish the university can put more effort in updating their facilities. Despite the variety of facilities, I personally think a lot of them are dated and study spaces tend to feel very dusty and stuffy. Learning would definitely be more conducive for me if I am in more modern spaces. As an international student, I do find that the university provides a lot of support around that. But generally, I find it quite difficult to fully integrate into the community. Everyone needs to put themselves out there to get the full university experience, but I feel like I need to put in so much more effort in doing so.
Campus has everything it needs and the bus into town is not too bad, the SU is nice and I’ve had a great time at the societies I’ve joined, also the sports facilities are very good. The problem I’ve had is that I would like walking into town but the hill can be a bit of a struggle but that’s not really the university’s fault it’s just because of its location.
Bath University is so inclusive it literally makes you feel like you belong and the campus specially the lake gives you that boost of serotonin when you need it. The scenery is so nice you just feel better after looking at it. The support that students receive is really good as all lecturers and staff feel approachable. However I would say that it needs to improve on the accomodation. We do spend quite a lot in our accommodations so the facilities should be decent and we should not be having issues such as flooded toilets
mix of modern and older buildings on campus. good student support, teaching to a high standard and you always feel like lecturers want you to succeed
Beautiful city. Campus could do with a few more study spaces. Course designed well. Just about enough going on for students in the city. Lake and green space around it on campus really aesthetic but parade very concrete and dull.
I honestly have nothing bad to say about the University of Bath! I've been here for around a month and so far the lectures have been so interesting and student life (and nightlife) has been amazing!
Sports facilities are excellent, and there are loads of opportunities to get involved with clubs and societies. The city is beautiful, it's just slightly inconvenient to go between it and the campus. The only downside of the nice city is that it's on the expensive side.
Location is a bit annoying due to distance from town and supermarkets, but there’s always events going on within campus
Could be improved by making the uni more welcoming and supportive to students with difficulties socialising
The best aspect is how accessible societies are and how you can vary your commitment depending on how devoted you feel to that specific society. I think the resources of the University is fantastic and its very easy to meet and interact with new people. The worst aspect of my uni experience is probably the fact that there isn't a lot of variety within the campus and the liveliness really dies down around winter.
Second year is a bit difficult with living in the city, so improved transport links would be great! i adore bath thought
There are a lot of food outlets on campus with a variety of different cuisines for all budgets - including 2 supermarkets. This makes it accessible to get coffee or a meal in between lessons. While the uni is on a hill, the buses come often so it's good. A great library - each department has its own floor/section which makes it easy - lots of online and in person guidance. Good career support
Best is the campus being small so it’s easy to get everywhere, the city is really nice and has so many things we can do Some improvements could be that all the events are on one page and not divided into 2 (reslife and SU)

Everything is really good, I have no complaints. Food choice for hot food could be a bit better but a lot of variety overall anyways
I really enjoy it. Everything is also recorded so i’m very grateful for that. Learning is multidisciplinary and very engaging. Lecturers are kind.
My favourite place, very social very cosy, rooms were a bit small but everything was provided and kitchen was big and lounge was very comfortable. Loved the lights added to the room.
