Poor parking facilities for coaches bringing people from all over the country no realistic idea of the problems caused for the drivers who have long journeys to try back and need areas to park so they can have their legal driving breaks year in year out same problems yet again coaches parking on side lanes in small Leigh boys with no toilet facilities of eating facilities poor show Bath
perfect course, great experience, thank you
I did a one year masters course here and was really surprised by the faculty's attitude towards students which at best was a lack of concern and at the worst was one of disdain and outward annoyance. The entire course was plagued by administrative gaffs with our department head unable to cope with the mounting number of problems (one of which was unprofessional and inappropriate supervisor behavior) This resulted in the administration blaming an entire cohort of students in an attempt to sweep problems under the rug rather than solve them. Even so the supervisors that they assign for research projects are also wildly unsupervised which can leave you either in a great lab where you learn a lot to an experience one student had where her supervisor threatened to kick her out of the course for being uncomfortable with killing conscious mice. If you're going to spend money on your education, you might as well make it count by going somewhere else
Really lovely environment with a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Fantastic sports facilities.
Apart from the fields surrounding the main university campus, it has to be up there with one of the ugliest campuses in the UK. If students weren't to see the league tables and choose based on looks, I guarantee a large amount of students wouldn't apply. The main "Parade" is gloomy and wind tunnel-esque and when you look around you see big concrete blocks which you'll have the pleasure of studying in for the next three (or four) years. The single library isn't big enough to accommodate the students which need to use it and there is no where else to really do work unless you want to work in one of the noisy campus eateries, which are overpriced and have generally poor quality food (however I do rate the beef chilli, just the right amount of spice and good ratio of meat to sauce.) The Students Union is small and offers very little in terms of somewhere to go with your mates and you'll find yourself bored in there in ten minutes or so.
The accommodation off campus is overpriced and of poor quality.
SO far very good. The only complaint is the gym because it is open to the public as well and not only students, it gets too crowded. Regarding sports, Bath has literally everything for everyone. You can be doing skeleton and salsa dancing while having boxing on Sundays, right after rowing.
Good uni, good social life, great for sports.
Seriously tame and small uni, quite a trek out of the city - which is defo a town and not a city - night life and social life lacking. Not for those from big cities or like places with a buzz. Found it difficult to make friends, not that everyone was horrible but just weren't really like me! I know it is well loved by others though
Brilliant university, would highly recommend
Fun and friendly atmosphere, plenty to do around campus, great sports facilities and very accessible via public transport.
Lovely town, great university and great campus. Love the fresh supermarket, which has absolutely everything and even a post office. Love the Asian food section, home is just a few steps away!
As a first year, I absolutely love the University of Bath. The campus is beautiful, the clubs and societies provided are amazing full of amazing students. Everyone is so friendly and intelligent, it is very easy to fit in quickly. The only problem I can think of with the university is that the library is often full and it can be difficult to find a space especially near exams, however there are many other places suitable for quiet studying all around the campus.
Great, small campus so it's easy to get to lectures.
Campus is a bit dull but the SU and nights out are fairly good and a decent price. Not enough societies though.
Wifi needs to be improved major
Very active student union, with a wide range of clubs and societies. Facilities such as medical centre are of poor quality
Sports facilities are first class. In regards to clubs/societies, if there isn't the one you want, it is very easy to make a new one. The SU doesn't seem to actually do much but what's in the building is very good. Wifi is good despite the stick it gets from people. The careers services seem to be relentless which is exactly what you want!
Overcrowded. That's all I can say. The facilities are great, but at busy periods it's near impossible to use them. The gym is always full, making the membership completely not worth it. It's always a struggle to find a spare seat at the library. The WiFi does not reach all bedrooms.
Bath has been amazing so far, im in westwood which is the party place to be, there's always stuff to do!
Great overall but lacks in nights out
Fantastic university, would definitely recommend to friends and all of those who think about applying
It's great, sociable but not too noisy if you want to work. Big social areas and cleaners come 2 times a week
Not satisfied. Terrible accommodation.
The SU, library and gym need expanding to allow for the expanding number of students in the uni. However the societies and clubs organise many events and the overall environment of the campus is safe and friendly
The university provides everything needed to feel like living in a friendly, supportive and stimulating environment.
Campus is great, as everything is compact
Great campus. Good bars and restuarants.
Needs more accommodation and a lower limit on people needed for a society for more varied societies.
Some clubs only take place during lectures
Really great facilities and loads of different things to be part of
The WiFi sometimes drops out, but generally it's got pretty good coverage. The careers service are always emailing to offer opportunities. The SU has deals every night and is pretty cheap anyway.
Prestigious university, excellent atmosphere and only 20 minutes to the city center.
Good balance of academia and socializing that would not be found at Oxbridge.
Wifi could be better in places as it doesn't always connect
The University offers great facilities on campus. Though sometimes expensive, the clubs and societies are great and offer great opportunities to continue or pick up a sport or hobby, to socialise and make the most of uni life. The Student Union is very involved and works constantly to improve the student life experience. Wifi on campus is very good on the Parade and in the buildings. Students are presented with plenty of opportunities to meet future employers and develop their skills to buff their CV.
Love love love the campus, it's so pretty, and small so only takes 10-15 minutes to walk from one side to the other. The facilities are great; there's everything you could need on campus and what it doesn't have can be accessed easily in the city (10 mins on the bus) or delivered! There is a massive range of societies, particularly sports ones, but also some completely different ones too. I adore both the Bath Uni campus and the city of Bath - it's a great place to be!
University is compact and faculties are thoughtful placed at specific part of the Uni however it is far from the residential area and town so commuting(if you are year 2 above) can be pain in the ass
Top notch sport and SU; good range of clubs; internet is very good when connected, but it can but out for 30 seconds every so often
Campus is brilliant, not too small that everyone is in your face and not large that islt takes a long time to get to and from lectures.
Eduroam cuts out all the time but other than that everything's great
Great uni campus all round, apart from the SU which is honestly dysfunctional. You're taking on a set number of freshers, why wouldn't you ensure that there were enough freshers week tickets for all of them? They're there for looks, but beyond the surface are just as bureaucratic as the university staff. The uni-run student services are great, really helpful. Staff members too are great. Internet and wifi are amazing, two hops from JANET so great speeds!
Great small campus makes getting to everywhere a doddle. Space is limited in the Library and social spaces but this is being actively addressed by the very strong Students' Union.
Campus Wifi is patchy but the club on campus can be good sometimes and the societies and sports are great
Sports socials are the best in the country!
Campus and facilities are great. There could be more societies, there isn't a lot of variety either and no encouragement to join. Students union is great. I hear career opportunities are great. Again the eduroam wifi is very unreliable.
Only been here for 2 months but already love it
Great university, great campus
A great uni that focuses on STEM subjects. This shows with funding going towards great facilities used by both students and researchers. The campus is logical compact without feeling crowded. The Student's Union is excellent with a really good bar/social space that looks amazing and is a great space to chill or work. The sports facilities are literally world class. The Sports Training Village is host to a number of international teams throughout the year from the British Bobsleigh team on a regular basis to the Australian Rugby team during the world cup/ There are many aspects of this Uni that need to be experienced to be appreciated.
Students union clubs aren't amazing, but the city isn't too far. The clubs and societies are great- a really good mix- something for everybody.
Nice small campus, easy to get to places. Great facilities. Decent nights out.
Love the big community feel, and with first year accommodation on campus, all lectures are only a minute or twos walk away
The campus is very nice, the buildings are very different to each other
Campus life is great, lots of socials are organized and you get to meet a lot of new people
Everything a university should be
Full of dull sports students and privately-educated home-counties "lads" and identikit blonde girls. Far out of town with an appalling bus route and limited facilities on campus. Run by a VC on close to £400k a year who doesn't care about students - increases in the number of freshers each year means students are now sharing what used to be single rooms, and cohorts are being split in two as the whole class wouldn't fit in any of the lecture halls. Study space is not being increased in line with student numbers and management doesn't seem to care. Good for getting a job due to the emphasis on placements but not much else.
Can't complain about anything apart from the shortage of space, Bath is amazing!
Really friendly, East environment, great accomodation and lectures aren't bad either.
I'm only a fresher at the university, but my short time there has not been a disappointment. Everything is top notch except the WiFi, which can be rather intermittent.
It's a shame that I couldn't do my undergraduate at this university. It is by far the best university experience I have had and I am glad that I have chosen to do my postgraduate course at Bath. I can only recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the proper university life.
really amazing campus and not far from the beautiful city of bath with a million more things to do! Not too clubby just the right amount and Bristol only ten minutes away if you want a bigger night out!
Everything is awesome! Specially a big up to freshers week just amazing!
Great variety of clubs to join and has a very friendly campus atmosphere.
I really love being here. The course is amazing and everyone is really supportive. Coming here was an excellent decision!
It is a great University and campus. I truly enjoy my time here!
So many things to get involved in, offers you so many opportunities
Uni of Bath is perfectly located in a beautiful city, with a campus that provides everything you could possibly need. The accommodation is just a short walk to lectures, and it's very easy to get all your flatmates together for a night out!
Halls are very good quality, newly refurbished, although have had to call maintenance a few times. Campus is fantastic, lots of opportunities in sports, societies etc. Wifi is average - can play up at times.
WiFi is patchy in halls but around campus the Cloud is fine
The university especially the students union is very much trying to be in our best interests. The societies are all very inclusive (from my and my friends experiences) and there is a large range of them for all different interests
I really like the fact that there are so many sports clubs and societies, so there is always something that will fits you. I think the facilities are great, for example the eat places, SU, tennis field and the swimming pool.
The University gives all the best to make sure that we feel good here and that we build the best future organizing fairs, encouraging societies to develop and investing a lot in facilities!
The facilities are all very good and there is pretty much everything you could want on campus, although the campus supermarket is a bit overpriced, so your better to get a supermarket delivery to your accommodation. Nights out at the SU are great and there are so many clubs and societies that there is something for everyone. The uni wifi is pretty good, but it stops working randomly at some points, but most importantly the Yikyak game is on point!
Most of the campus is newly built, some of the buildings on the Parade should be completely renewed though.
I've grown more fond of the university the longer I've been here. I didn't realise how much there would be to do here until I got here - Freshers week was packed with stuff. After that things seemed to quiet down until now (3rd week), so many societies to join and sports to take part in. Already have a job on campus and am part of a volunteer group, as well as 3-4 socities, I no longer have much time to myself (as I love being busy) between that and study. The buildings aren't the most attractive thing (the main lecture building was almost voted Britains ugliest new building) but they all serve their purpose well. Things are tightly packed in the campus so everything is always 5 minutes away (except the Medical Centre which is a bit of a trek). There are so many different things here run by the SU and the university in general, from academic skills services to volunteer opportunities and a club for nights on campus.
Campus is really nice and the student union is massive. You can get strong wifi all over campus. There are huge range of sports, with a more limited range of societies. Nights out on campus are a big thing and also cheap, and happen on a Saturday night so you can actually recover the day after.
University of Bath is a campus university with a very 'homely' feeling environment. It is an average sized campus however it is getting bigger and newer every year with new investments and constructions. There are so many societies to choose from that you feel like you have to opt something out so that you can have time to study too! I am currently in 5 societies which I really enjoy being a part of; finding and making like-minded friends is much easier! The Foreign Languages Centre offer many languages that you can choose as a 6-credit (as a part of your degree and diploma) or 3-credit (as an extra near your degree and diploma). I have just started taking 3-credit Spanish lessons and am really fascinated to learn a third language. Students Union is really active in the university and are doing their best to give us a well-rounded university life. They are open to any new ideas that may come from all university students!
Everything you need is right on campus. Students union always has things going on.
A university which caters to everyone and provides opportunities for everyone to experience all that the university has to offer.
Wifi is a bit patchy but uni is just incredible - the sports facilities are a dream!
All facilities on campus are to an extremely high level. The STV is particularly amazing, all brand new sports facilities to match the high level of sports played at Bath. There are so many clubs and societies - there is something for everyone.
Amazing uni! Recommend to anyone. It's in a lovely historic city with gorgeous walks nearby. the SU do so much for Fresher's week too that everyone feels included
Really good sports and science facilities on campus and a lot of societies and opportunities
Great freshers week, good clubs in town for later in the year. It's a very social university and there are loads of clubs to join. It's very sporty so if you like sport you'll like Bath.
Fantastic all inclusive campus with a plethora of activities.
Overall an excellent university. Quality teaching and plenty of superb sports facilities.
Absolutely amazing, best uni in the country
Fantastic uni with healthy balance of activities education and night life, and a great career service.
Friendly feel about campus, amazing city that's not too big (so easy to navigate) - fantastic uni
Love the campus, quality of teaching is very high, opportunities are available everywhere
Great uni which offers many sports, societies and opportunities
I can't fault the university other than the unreliable eduroam connection, multiple power cuts my accommodation had this year and lift breaking several times.
There is no place better to spend your degree then at bath with job prospects being excellent it makes getting a job after a lot easier.
I absolutely love studying here. The campus is convenient and modernising rapidly and I the town has a unique friendly feel; it's homely.
Best time of my life, so glad I made the decision to home here, haven't regreted a single thing.
I could not ask for a better university! There is so much to offer and all is very good quality
I'd always loved school holidays until university, now I dread them.
I've had a great time so far at bath.
Most courses offer the opportunity to go on a half or year long work placement, which is invaluable at making you stand out when it comes to finding graduate jobs. It's a brilliant campus university, which means it's got a real community feel, plus it's located in Bath - literally the most beautiful city in the country!
Great all round uni. The city is great - it's got everything you could possibly want - shops, bars, pubs, salons, the spa, swimming pools, parks, gyms... I could go on! The lecturers are great and so friendly. the uni has a lovely atmosphere and is the perfect size!
