UWE one of the best Uni in UK with State of the art Engineering Department sharing with well prestigious universities in the Russell Group such as Uni Bristol and Bath
UWE Bristol is a modern university which is clean and easy to navigate. The staff are friendly and helpful and are in touch with you frequently. I would highly recommend to a friend.
Great, some seminars are childish and menial but everything else is great
The facilities on campus are good, the food is great, lecturers are helpful and available to talk, the campus itself is large and diverse with spaces to sit down near everywhere, very rarely gets backed up with lots of people.
it’s alright, haven’t spent much time on campus because of this “blended learning” but from what i saw it was decent
UWE is alright, it is average in every way. Everything is just about acceptable. The teaching is very good but everything else is highly average.
Idéal place for automotive student
The campus is a perfect size and there are many facilities around so it really is quite convenient. Lecturers are a hit or miss, but overall they provide good support (Speaking from a Business BA pov)
Nice uni the online stuff it’s terrible
Average university. I do business and events management and the business facilities are pretty good.
I fully not recommend this university, totally s*** and wastage of money. They don't understand the students problems, they just only need money that's it. Please do not get admission in this ridiculous university.
Rlly nice people who go here. Annoying the SU is closed on the weekends. The course is good but some of the lecturers are not great.
I still haven't explored the whole university and do not have enough time to attend the activities held in the last two months. But I'm pretty sure that I feel supported and convenient when I access the facilities of the university. The staff of the university is brilliant as well. I love this place and appreciate what the university and staff have done for us.
UWE has great facilities. Even the other 2 Universities in Bristol, have their students use the facilities at UWE (Robotics for example). Clubs are great and always up to something, even through the weekdays. I haven't eaten much around campus, however would definitely like some affordable daily coffee.
It’s been very good so far other than the accommodation services as they didn’t help when I had no where to stay
The uni has a vibrant main campus with everything you need all in one place. Accommodation options on campus are very limited and can be expensive.
The student union is one of the best places on campus and gets very involved with events and everything
Small campus. But people there are nice and friendly.
The campus is big and it is.hard.for students to find.the.exact.building.or room
I like this university and i hope it will be better
Really good, Love the Facilities and the student union
The staff are amazing and the course I am doing is the best!
UWE buildings are sexy and not 3000 years old
Not the real Uni experience, no use of faculities no socialising hasuishswjjsjssj
UWE has been really helpful throughout this app past year, constantly checking up on us to make sure we’re doing alright on our course during this weird time of Covid. Although our year has been mainly online I’ve felt quite supported throughout.
I think overall for the uni everything are quite good
UWE make a great act of caring and being the best, but when you really do end up needing help and assistance they toss you to the side and force you through the most purposely painfully long corrupt system possible. If you’re on frenchay campus uwe will be a good university. If you’re on Glenside (allied health professions) don’t even bother. The halls are awful, the department is shambles. You’ll be made to feel like you don’t matter to anyone. Oh and, especially AVOID Sports rehabilitation.
Because of the COVID-19, lots of face to face activities are cancelled. That's sad.
It’s great and easy to get to school. Although places will cost more energy, it’s fine.
very good！ I like it very much！
Great university and great experience here
undergrad for business, top tier level with latest facilities
The lecturer are alight. Some of them are good but some of them are really really bad. They come to lecture without preparation. The UWE itself isn’t organised. They attached old regulations with the marks which misguided me. When I raised the issue, they agreed that it was wrong but didn’t compensate me for their mistake. Why would anyone study in a university where their regulations are not accurate or misguiding. On top of everything, student has to suffer for their mistake. I lost first class honours because of universities mistake. I appealed for my marks as I thought it was unfair on me. They rejected my appeal. They updated their regulations but didn’t compensate my loss. If I wasn’t misguided because of their regulations or I wasn’t supposed to be misguided or if it is my fault that I got misguided then why did they update the regulations. Seriously guys, save yourself from UWE. I have ruined my 3 years already. Don’t ruin yours. University is expensive so chose wisely
It is so beautiful that we can have a good experience.
Terrible service from a terribly run institution. Lack of organisation has resulted in many issues amongst my cohort ranging from lecturers not knowing how to answer questions based on what they are teaching, wrongly published marks- creating false hopes then completely demoralising you, timetables being issued one day before the start of a semester, the list can go on. Since I started my degree I have had to deal with countless issues such as parking to get to my lectures and being penalised as their car parks are packed to the brim. Communication during Covid-19 has been terrible also, no sense of care towards students, all they care for is getting money in the bank. Very quick to issue fines and chase up outstanding payments, but trying to get help is a mission in itself. I would not recommend UWE to anyone after 3 years studying with them. And to pay £9,250 as well is just a joke.
Teaching is Great, facilities are nice. Overall the campus has really good vibes. But the support staff are absolutely useless, it's like they don't even care. Honestly if you have problems with anything that can't be helped just by your lectures then you are royally screwed. Also if you have any mental health issues, go private or off campus,
Staff are wonderful and friendly. However have not participated in the student union, careers service or clubs and societies.
Love my uni campus! Great experience for my first year:)
During my first year in UWE Bristol I had a brilliant time in my course as there was always help from staff as well as there being really good facilities.
I studied at Bower Ashton Campus and even though at times I wanted to drop out, I have super fond memories of the place. I graduated with a first class degree and couldn’t have loved my lecturers and peers more. Super helpful staff, such a lovely city to explore and the nightlife is A+ (Thekla Thursday will kill you)!
the uni does well for its students
Excellent university with great help
I’ve had a very good experience so far in University.
Great university, easy to get there if you live in the city centre and there are many support especially the wellbeing support team, the learning system is good as well, with different resources
Good university with a lot of bus services
I think the university has done well
Students union is a joke. As a society member they take all our money and don’t help us out at all.
The university has fantastics facilities, accomondation as well as welcoming staffs and students!
Location of the school is a little bit further from city centre. By the staff there are always supportive.
It’s a great school and it’s been a great experience
Awesome campus, it doesn’t feel empty or alone unlike UoB. There is a stronger sense of community here than most campuses. The prices at the student shop are a bit overpriced as there was inflation. The food served at Onezone has also improved, and the subway was a solid addition. Unfortunately I won’t be around to enjoy the new engineering building which is absolutely amazing.
Nice environment. Most staffs are friendly.
good facilities new buildings aswell and free printing
A pretty dead university with minimal facilities compared to others
So understanding when it comes to mental health!
UWE is a fantastic Uni which offers an excellent student experience. The teaching, student support and career opportunities are a key standout for UWE and is constantly on the rise. I would highly recommend UWE to anyone interested in going to university.
Bad students union very dull, Careers don’t know what they are doing
Diverse and is all around great
New engineering block looks fab! Good equipment, and in my field (Aerospace) some excellent lecturers and facilities. Could use some better budgeting so we don't get a brand new block full of high tech stuff right next to a 1970's building full of asbestos but hey ho.
Organisation is an absolute joke. Frenchay is completely seperate to the other (better) campuses.
Absolutely fantastic! Such a fantastic atmosphere around the place, as well as improving massively every single day! From the accommodation to the library, the SU Bar to the classroom facilities, it’s a fantastic place to be.
I really enjoyed my time in bristol however i feel at no point was that due to the uni.
Very family oriented, lectures are always available to help. Facilities are very good often open 24/7, reasonable prices for equipment etc. Accomodation is very very good, especially wallscourt park houses
clubs activities should be included in the campus
At UWE all the money is spent on Frenchay campus so if you're going to Glenside it's like the poorer relative that nobody remembers or cares about. The Wi-Fi is shockingly slow and you can be sat there for ten minutes waiting just to log on. The Frenchay campus have tablets outside the room to show booked study spaces, Glenside doesn't so you're constantly having to throw people out of booked spaces. Questions I have asked the librarians over the net, they haven't been able to answer and have just sent me links and I'm talking basic questions. Considering Glenside homes the health professions there is no gym, not even a running track which is beyond poor. Parking is horrific you buy an annual pass and instead of being assigned a space you'll be lucky to find one, especially when they keep kicking you off for welcome events. Overall lecturers are friendly and approachable and teach well, however you always get one and we certainly have her.
Professional world focus with great links with companies.
I came here on foundation year after not getting the grades. Staff super inspiring and helpful, now I'm top off my class changed course to a better more challenging one.

I studied at UWE at postgraduate level this year and found it to be the best learning experience I've experienced.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you enjoyed your time at UWE Bristol!
Toilet in E block has been out of order for a week now, an example of how the campus runs on a bare minimum. If you fancy a flat pint in a dirty glass then the students union bar is the place to go. These comments are highly nit picky, I understand however it's the easiest way for me to explain the campus experience is liveable but not exactly enjoyable. Teaching is effective and helpful however the engagement hours are low and the timetables always seem to cause inconveniences. I pay over £9000 in tuition and I dont even get a discount in travel costs whereas the University of bristol does receive reimbursement. The internet, you guessed it, is sufficient at best, and unusable at worst. The ISP maintainenece service is slow and unresponsive and the infrastructure didnt work when I lived in halls. In house "eduroam" service feels impossible to log into. This in turn forces me to use my data to access their learning materials as the teaching staff wont print the material half the time.

Really good uni but could put in more SU events like SUesday.

The best!!!! This Uni is really great
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Its a really good uni, I easily made lots of friends from the first week. Facilities are great and easy to get around
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Nice, modern campus - not enough coffee shops/places to eat compared to other universities. Libraries could have more books as they’re sold out of EVERY book I need.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol. We will feed this back to our colleagues in the library. Thanks for taking the time to review us.
This is my second degree my first was at a different university to UWE and UWE far exceeds it. As a mature student the staff couldn't be more helpful. The course work is very in depth and provides you with a thorough knowledge of your topic. The anatomical and normal library are of excellent standards and if you can't get in due to snow etc the lectures are recorded on panapto so you can easily catch up. Very close to Bristol City which is amazingly conveinent.

Loved every moment of my experience.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
UWE is a great university all round. Staff are generally very helpful and always willing to give you advise on your course. The campus has very good amenities and is only a short walk away from two large supermarkets (and a Nando’s). Bristol city centre is only a 20 min bus ride away which makes getting to and back from nights out very convenient.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
UWE has wonderful staff, lots of unique societies and events and is overall just a fun and open learning experience.

The best and only the best. Amazing people and they help you fit in instantly. It is the best uni by far for people wanting to experience new cultures and different things. Come to UWE and change your perspective on life and culture forever.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Now that i’m not homeless after their huge accommodation **** up, it’s actually a great uni, everyone is so friendly and all the support is there if you need it.
Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you experienced issues with accommodation - we're glad to hear this is resolved now and that are you enjoying life at UWE Bristol.
The campus is so incredibly tidy, if you need maintenance they come so quickly, the rooms (even the cheapest ones) are so good complete with everything you need. The little things surprised me the most, like the welcome pack. Its such a friendly social uni
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Good student support, facilities and teaching classrooms. Love this uni!
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Good uni overall. It’s as good as you make it the WiFi just needs improving in some buildings
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Can't say I know much since I couldn't even get into halls of residence and there's now a 100 people waiting list which I wasn't put on automatically once it was created. Private housing is equally impossible as there are 10+ viewing the place before you. Once completing my 6 hour travel most, if not all, the viewings are cancelled or there's no hope of your offer getting accepted anyway. No housing. Extremely expensive. Pathetic accommodation system that doesn't even show you which rooms are available. You just choose 6 and cross your fingers.
We're sorry to hear this was your experience. Our Accommodation team would be happy to discuss alternative options with you. You can contact them via: https://www1.uwe.ac.uk/students/accommodation/accommodationenquiries.aspx
cant complain... pretty good so far! nice campus
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Fantastic Uni with phenomenal facilities. 100% recommend buying a better package with their provided Glide internet however. The base package is awful..
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol! Thanks for your feedback on the WiFi; we will share this with the relevant service.
Really great campuses and social opportunities both on campus and in the city, perfect for the migrating rural to city student as theirs a good gap between city and campus, but still close enough that bus’ can get in quickly
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Fantastic campus and great university life !! Yeah
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Great courses, modern buildings, easy to find and beautiful campus. Teaching staff are incredible offering amazing support. Studying here in my 3rd year on a Biosciences masters course. Accomodation in first year is also second to none, great value for money, especially Wallscourt houses!
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Its an ok uni. Some of the lecturers can be very unprofessional and can't take criticism. Its their way or the high way sort of thing. Honestly joined the uni thinking it would be good even tho its ranked kinda low. But now I realise why its not ranked higher. Wouldn't recommend an engineering course here as a lot of the staff are patronising on subjects that would not have been taught at a levels. They expect you to know of the bat. I'm paying around 9k to learn not be told I'm stupid for something I don't know and it being your job to tell us as students the new information we need to graduate with the knowledge to work in industry

I was ar bower ashton campus, if you enjoy a small and quiet campus you will like it. I found the campus very boring and depressing to be on and secluded from anything near by with a £3 bus getting you anywhere near the city. I felt forgotten about as all the social events were on the main campus at frenchay and there wasnt much concern for mental health as i wanted to drop out and had no idea who to turn when i got to my lowest point.

I couldn’t ask for a better uni. The level of teaching is excellent, the wellbeing and careers department are incredible and I will be sorry to be graduating next year!
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Teaching is good, looking after student welfare is poor and understaning of student mental health is bad. It's a good university if you are certain you won't have any problems with mental health etc while there.
Thanks for your feedback; we're sorry you feel this way. At UWE Bristol, we know that the mental health and wellbeing of our university community is fundamentally important in enabling our students to engage, perform and flourish. We have more than 200 different services and activities at the University that are related to mental health and wellbeing. These services include workshops, counselling support and drop-in sessions. We offer a range of 24/7 support for students including an out-of-hours senior on-call support team, and Kooth Student – a free, anonymous, online platform offering advice and forums.

Our uni keeps getting better. It was a great uni when I arrived but with the addition of more student accommodation on campus, the new business and engineering block, as well as some smaller projects across the campus, it has brung UWE into this century and the next. The uni is always seeking better staff to improve its education. WiFi is great on campus but could do with some improvements in the student village accommodations. The sports teams are as good as any other uni’s. The student union is quite basic, but serves its purpose well.
Hi there, thanks for your review. We're pleased to hear that you are enjoying our modern facilities.
Very good university with great facilities at frenchay campus however glenside Campus is neglected and living in halls on glenside almost felt like a prison. I am a student/fan of UWE as a place to study but there needs to be a greater student union effort to create fun experiences that bring people together, outside of freshers week - for all students. Again, the university needs to stop neglecting glenside, especially the halls of residence. But, if you are expected to spend your time on frenchay campus you will most likely have nothing to worry about.

Going to UWE has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Everyone is so friendly on campus and it’s so easy to find your way around. Student accommodation is a great convenient place to live and a great way to meet people. The professors are so helpful and the workload isn’t too much. It’s easy to balance your work/social/study. I love it here so much.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Going into my third year of uni and it has been the best 3 years of life! 100% recommend.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
staff eager to help lecturers that actually seem to care and understand u will be supported through anything student satisfaction done right
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
I didn’t enjoy my course but that was my mistake in picking it however the facilities are amazing and the staff are very helpful.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry you didn't feel your course was right for you, though pleased you felt well supported and enjoyed our facilities.
Just finished studying my degree here and I cannot recommend this place at all. Recieved little to no support throughout my studies especially with my dissertation. The campus is constantly being modernised so you're effectively studying on a building site, that said when construction was finished the building was great, but only if you do business and law no other courses have lectures there and have to deal with the old damp buildings. Despite the lovely new building the quality of teaching for business was still lacking with many lecturers clearly wanting to be doing anything else than engage with students. Many positive reviews about this place were written with lecturers standing over students shoulders questioning anything negative written. DON'T GO HERE!

Teaching is good, however on some degrees they read the PowerPoint slides. SU is good on frenchay with reasonable prices and events hosted however on glenside is always empty and quiet and usually closed

Feels like the USSR, campus is barren and nobody is ever there
Hello, thanks for your comments. It is quiet at present as it's the summer holidays. Usually our campus is bustling!

I am doing the biomedical science degree. The labs have the latest equipment and most the professors are great. Theres a lot of information available and the course is very interesting.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Course was very disorganised, often getting important deadlines and dates incorrect. Lecturer barely showed up for the most crucial parts of 3rd year. Feedback was never aimed at improving artistic ability or professionalism, more so at aiding in getting an internship-which for the vast majority was not a likely path to take after the course. A small percentage of students were favoured over the rest of the group, creating a clique amongst the lecturers and said students.

SU expensive and doesn’t support clubs very well
Thanks for your feedback. The SU is actually a separate organisation and not run by UWE Bristol. You can conatct them to send feedback here: https://www.thestudentsunion.co.uk/union/contact-us/ We hope this helps.
Excellent services and facilities with friendly staff and students all around campus. Also a very pretty campus.

Amazing place to start your new life. Everything is given, you just need to study
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Started uni here and got in a mentally and physically abusive relationship with another student. That person got kicked out of campus halls by the university whilst I was involved with him. When it got to its worst point at the end of the year - to the point where I was in a situation where had to run for my life, I then went to student conduct at the end of it all and asked for their help. All he got was a warning and another chance to come back to uni. When he actually broke every rule in the student conduct agreement. I gained mental health issues at the thought of having to face him on campus. Made me reluctant to go to lectures. He was given many chances prior to this but for some reason my situation still wasn’t the final straw for them to kick him out of uni. This is the worst uni you will ever come across. I got swept under the rug completely. I didn’t fight any longer because I couldn’t relive it anymore. If anyone is reading this is planning to come here, then please don’t.

university is only good if what you're wanting to gain from university is alcoholism and a drug habit, all students want to do is go to the pub, rather than attend lectures. Found style and layout of student halls invasive to my privacy - students staying in flats across the courtyard can see directly into other rooms/flats. Lecturers did not seem to engage the students, let alone themselves in what they were teaching. Support services for wellbeing were abysmal, and found staff patronising. Was promised a myriad of things before starting my course at this university only for it to fall short. I regret my choice of this university and will not being coming back. Very sad as it could be so much better.

Nice university with great facilities.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
I like uwe, certain buildings are really great and the cafes are good. Some building could do with updating and the SU need some more events to improve it.

Frenchay is amazing but Glenside is crap. They clearly spend all their money on frenchay campus
Hello, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you feel this way. In November last year we opened a new £5 million optometry and clinical skills centre at Glenside campus. You can share your views with Student Support Advisers as well as InfoPoint, Personal Tutors, Course Leaders and the Students' Union.
Uwe is the university for young students who not only wish to enjoy their university experience, but also enjoy their time doing it
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
The best decision I’ve made so far in my life is going to UWE. I have never felt more comfortable, confident or valued.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Amazing and friendly uni, very welcoming and facilitating for all. Nothing is too much trouble for tutors or lecturers, they’re always willing to help!

Fab uni. Great campus that keeps expanding and being updated. The tutors are all friendly and helpful. Support is there if needed. The halls of residence are nice and the night life in Bristol is the best! You’d be stupid not to go here...
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!

Frenchay campus is where everything is if you are at bower you are pretty much an outcast and not much happens there.
Thanks for your feedback; we're sorry you feel this way. You can discuss activities and events with your course rep or the Students Union. Hope this helps.
Absolutely fantastic university - The university experience is phenomenal . No regrets.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
This university, while maybe not the oldest or most well known, is rapidly rising through the ranks - and for good reason. With excellent teaching and a keen focus on the stem subjects (to be expected from what once was a polytechnic institute), UWE is set on increasing its reputation and becoming a force to be reckoned with. It is particularly well known for its robotics and aerospace work, with large facilities catering to these subjects. Admittedly, the lack of history behind the University does hinder it in terms of projects outside its specialities, for as well regarded as it is in the STEM subjects, it does not yet have the same reputation in the humanities - nor the history to back it up. Time will tell if this is something that will change in the coming years.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback; we really appreciate it.
Helpful staff, friendly environment, providing even to international and European students a place, where they can feel security away from their home countries.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Had an amazing experience her compared to my friends at Russel group unis they’re a lot more supportive and helpful, the campus is nice and the students are less snobby
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Prioritize students and offer great help in every aspect possible.

Accommodation, city and campus incredible and homely. A great place to go to university.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
AVOID THIS UNI. I'm just about to finish my degree at UWE. The curriculum has been terrible you basically do the same thing every year. The level of teaching is awful if you manage to sit through one of their tedious and unengaging, if you ask a lecturer a question it's very unlikely you will get a clear or even correct response in most cases. I have been let down and lied to by this uni and people should avoid it. For example my dissertation supervisor didn't even know what the learning criteria was. My personal tutor lied to me on the open day about professional qualifications when I queried it I was ignored when I pushed it further I was still ignored. All in all I wish I never went here what people say is true it is awful, and if someone says otherwise they are either lying to make their degree sound better, or have been force to write a positive review with their lecturer standing over them. However the facilities are nice so long as you're a business student otherwise its a dump.

All good, wifi can be quite bad though
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol! Sorry you experience problems with the WiFi - there are some hints and tips here: https://www1.uwe.ac.uk/its/usingitatuwe/connectingtowi-fi.aspx
UWE has such an accepting, chilled vibe and as a university it really cares about stidents’ well-being. There are organised events more than once a week and the facilities are always top notch.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
UWE has state of the art facilities including a new law and business faculty. The new engineering faculty is being built and I have not seen a university that is as up to date as this one. The students union is a good place to go but it’s not as cheap as it could be. The university does lack open spaces to sit on nice days ( there used to be a massive area where the engineering building is being placed). I have loved my experience so far at UWE
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol! Have you tried Stoke Park, which is near to Frenchay campus? It's a short walk away and is lovely in the sunshine.
The best facilities to study architecture.
That's great to hear! Thanks so much for sharing!
The accommodation has been a nightmare with me having to leave campus to get oht of my house. Accommodation did nothing. Had some good lectures but the rest have been useless and patronizing.
Hello, we're sorry this has been your experience. Our Accommodation Team works hard to support students who aren't happy in their choice of accommodation. Would you like to send us a direct message via: infopoint@uwe.ac.uk so we can discuss these issues with you.
UWE is a fantastic progressive university, great for anyone looking to further their future in a well connected friendly environment.
Thank you for sharing this; we're so pleased you're enjoying your UWE Bristol experience.
love it here its such an amazing city
Great to hear! We love Bristol too!
Can't complain, their SU is good with events and there's loads of things to join in with around Bristol. Great facilities.
Great to hear you're enjoying your UWE Bristol experience!
Nervous about first week, however settled right in. I’m currently having the best time of my life and I’m so glad I picked UWE!!
Hi there, we are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol so far! Starting university is always a nervewracking experience but we're delighted you settled in quickly.
Literally the best uni I could have imaginened to go to! Not a bad word to say
Thank you for your feedback and we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Good university life but there is room for improvement
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We'd really appreciate finding out more about the areas of UWE Bristol that you think could be improved. Please can you send an email to: infopoint@uwe.ac.uk with some more feedback?
It's a good uni, lots of events and help from teachers, always spaces to study and get work done. Parking is utterly awful though, I've you're not in by 10am you'll be circling the car park for half an hour for a space.
Thank you for your feedback - we're aware of issues with parking at Frenchay campus and are working to improve this.
Uwe is great and nursing is such an amazing course here! Bristol is the best city and I really think the lecturers are fab!
Hi there, thank you for your review. We are really pleased to hear that you are enjoying your course! We're proud of our state of the art facilities in nursing and midwifery.
Great university with comprehensive support for all students. This is made all the better by the business/law building which is nationally competetive
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Providing our students with all-inclusive support and advice is of the highest importance to us so we are really glad that you are pleased with our services. It's also great to hear that you have enjoyed our award-winning Bristol Business School!
Great night life, started to build really modern facilities. Needs better sports centre
Hi there, thanks for your review. We're pleased to hear that you are enjoying our modern facilities. We'd really appreciate hearing how you feel our centre for sports could be improved. Please can you contact us directly: centreforsport@uwe.ac.uk
UWE balances a more vocational/ coursework driven approach along with traditional exams brilliantly and allows you to show what you know in the best way for you.
Thank you for your feedback and we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Good facilities with constant improvement, I would like more support for alumni as certain buildings and facility's are pointless for current students and the sharing of facilities between faculties. Apart from that there is a club for everything, social media places for accommodation and a good social media presence.
Thank you for your feedback.
Overall performance of UWE is totally in satisfactory level in terms of facilities and services. In learning, all the Lecturers are keen to support the students needs at anytime when they got free time.
Thank you for your feedback.
Uwe has felt like nothing but home to me since I’ve got here. The moving in and settling in went smoothly, along with settling into university life. Not only starting lectures but socialising with the help of the freshers events put on at the SU and promoted by the Student Union. Also halls wars allowed me to meet people from differnt corners of campus and really allowed me to make a diverse set of friends. Even after freshers the SU and uni have continued to put on events and with Christmas coming up I cannot wait to take part in them.
Thank you for your feedback and we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Uwe campus is lovely and is perfect for someone who is wishing to stay on the campus (frenchay) it has basically everything you need (shops, cafe’s, gym, bar, hairdressers ect) Also the location of a Lidl, Asda, Sainsbury’s and a mega gym within a 5 minute walk is also really useful. The business block is also amazing and the lecturers are also super nice and are always willing to lend a hand.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Really lovely uni with lots of opportunities
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Uwe is the most friendly university ever! Things are always changing due to the students needs, such as free black and white printing now!
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Best decision I ever made was to transfer to UWE!
Thank you for your feedback and we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Great but bower lacks in societies, public transport (buses don’t run till late and not on weekends and the cafe isn’t amazing for hot food. Tutors are fab and love my course but spike island feels a bit far away and disconnected from the uni. Not much uni culture.
Thank you for your feedback - we're sorry you're feeling a bit disconnected. Have you spoken to your tutors or fellow students about this?
Friendly university with extremely helpful staff who push you to do better. I believe it to be looked down upon when in actual fact we have great facilities for learning and recreation which provides a rilliant environment to develop socially and academically.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Its an amazing uni massive library open 24/7 as well
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Having come for postgrad from Bristol Uni, I have been very impressed by UWE, there’s more space, more diversity and a general lack of pretentiousness.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
UoB but with better teaching and support
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
While the SU is relatively good, with a good variety of societies to choose from, one can't help but feel this is solely for the monetary gain that comes along with it. The mental health facilities at UWE are lacking, to say the least. I remember in 2016 a student at halls decided to end their life, and it was quietly pushed under the carpet, I remember no awareness campaign for mental health or anything. I suffered with terrible depression at my 2 years at UWE, I told lecturers about it, I was told that they can't do anything and I should speak to welfare. Understandable, but they never even bothered to drop me an email and see how I was. When I went to welfare, the treatment I got was rude, condescending and to be frank, pointless. I told them many times I was really struggling, and not once did they contact me outside of my appointments unless I initiated. It got so bad that I eventually dropped out entirely. If mental health services are a deal breaker for you, don't go to UWE.
Great uni. Love the feel of the campuses and I feel teaching is to a high standard
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
I love it, the experience is amazing and the people are great

I got all the experience I needed at UWE to start my career. I really enjoyed my time and had all the support I needed both personally and academically.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Good uni good campus good facilities
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
The university have been helpful with settling in and the course I am on is interesting, however there are some courses which have lectures recorded and others which don’t and will refuse to either put slides up before lectures or record them to help students who many need that extra support.
Thanks for your feedback. Have you spoken to your lecturers about this? They may be able to help.
The university has excellent and very modern facilities. The staff is welcoming and there is help service 24/7. Lecturers give their best to students and present the material in a fun way.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
The new business block not only makes me want to go to uni but the facilities there bare top quality
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to hear you praising our award-winning Bristol Business School! We hope you choose UWE Bristol!
Great staff, great societies, great friends, great fun.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!

UWE offers continuous support throughout your university degree. From education to mental wellbeing. Loads on offer to help develop your CV during your time there to!
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
I don’t have a bad word to say about UWE. All I’ve experienced since arriving, are caring and supportive staff willing to help out any way they can. As an international student, I was weary about having no support from university and having a tough time. I couldn’t be more wrong. They have specific facilities for international students available when you need them!
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
I go to bower ashton campus which is a lovely campus being surrounded by deer and countryside whilst still being in the city, it is a great place to learn. Great facilities, with a whole building dedicated to film, animation and photography which is great.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
So much support & great facilities.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!

Does what it sais on the package
Thank you for your feedback!
Great university, great people. Lecturers know their stuff and the course is interesting
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
An excellent uni if you are doing one of the more popular degrees. However if you are doing a smaller degree the facilities are nowhere near as great as the brand new business building. The library is great though, it has everything the students need. As a former representative I can quite easily say the students union is one massive b****fight and nothing worthwhile is ever passed (Although most students don't even care). However societies and clubs definitely make up for this and get students a lot more engaged with their peers. The uni is perfect for those who love going out and equally as much for those who don't.
Thank you for your feedback!
Great support for students, great employability skills
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Uwe has exceeded my expectations by q million
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!

Amazing Staff, Amazing Campus and Amazing Nightlife!
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Overall a postive experience. Stunning site and good local means. Glide wifi is rubbish so needs tweeking.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol! We're aware of some wifi issues and working to improve this.
Wonderful atmosphere with brilliant facilities including the new Business and Law building in the centre of the campus and vibrant Student's Union.
Thanks for sharing this! We're really glad you're enjoying your UWE Bristol experience!
Brilliant SU, new business block is incredible, good library. Really enjoyed first year. Would definitely recommend UWE to other people
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing this!
Pretty sick and the night life isn't too bad either
:)
Such a good university, especially for business.
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing this!
Good student and career support but not enough student facilities such as gym
Hiya, which campus are you based on, as we have a gym on Frenchay campus?
Really enjoyed first year, couldn’t ask for a better experience
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing this!
The university provides excellent conditions for students , a lot of support for any kind of problems a student can face ( e.g. financial support , well being support , academic support, carreers support etc) . Also the staff has a positive attitude and it determines the students to enjoy the courses . I am very happy with this university and itnos a pleasure for me to study here. ❤️
Love feedback like this; thank you! We're so glad you're having such a great experience!
Absolutely amazing university and I’m so glad that I go here
Yay! So pleased to hear this!
Really good uni with amazing facilities and support network
That's great to hear! Thanks for your review.
A uni that helps you get where you want to be. Doesn't train just you to be a reseacher It trains you to be a professional. Has great lectures, I haven't had one complaint about any and all my friends at other unis have. The tutors really care and everyone's willing to help. Just because it's not a Russel group doesn't mean it's bad, it's actually better then them because it's more interactive and job focused. Russel groups are for researchers. If you want a job go to UWE.
We love feedback like this; thanks so much for sharing your experience. Measures to prepare our students for their future careers are built in to every course that we offer. We work with our industry partners to develop ready and able graduates who are equipped to make a positive contribution to their chosen profession or further study.
Great facilities with excellent lectures.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Incredibly supportive academics, good facilities and help outside of the classroom too e.g. mental health
Great to hear this, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic university with great facilities
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I love my university its perfect for everything I wanted!
Delighted to hear this; we love it too!
Awesome campus, the internet is surprisingly fast and the facilities are always well maintained.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
So far pretty good uni. Made some great mates through special interest societies. Good wellbeing service which helped me through a rough patch.
That's great to hear! We're really proud of our wellbeing service and we're pleased we were able to support you. We have more than 200 different wellbeing services and activities at UWE Bristol, including workshops, counselling support and drop-in sessions. We offer a range of 24/7 support for students including an out of hours senior on-call support team, Nightline – a phone-based student-to-student support service, and Kooth Student – a free, anonymous, online platform offering advice and forums.
Some of the building are dated, but the new business building is amazing. If you choose a business related course, you’ll get a quality degree. If you want to do a humanities course I would look at University of Bristol.
Thanks for your feedback about our Bristol Business School - we love it too! We’re investing significantly in our facilities and learning environments. Work will begin on our new state-of-the-art engineering building this summer and we have plans to modernise the University and our satellite campuses significantly.
As a Business Student I was able to experience the brand new business building, which has an extremely cool modern feel to it as well as a great canteen area. I personally didn’t go to many societies (just drama) but at the society fair there were hundreds of options and many of my friends loved some of their societies. The SU is also really new which was great, it has some cool facilities such as a pool table and the drinks there are nice. I’ve heard the food is pretty good too! However a small criticism is there was a toilet door that wasn’t replaced for a while and also it’s a tiny bit in the small side. I personally never really used careers due to having a clear idea anyway, so I just put this as a 3. The internet is pretty good, eduroam works well and does its job, though sometimes it can get a tad slow due to heavy traffic, though it is always fine for work purposes.
Thanks for your feedback about Bristol Business School; we like it too! Your other feedback is really helpful for prospective students.
loved every single moment of it, great day and night life
So great to hear! Thanks for choosing UWE Bristol.
UWE has a fantastic support network for students. The staff genuinely care about the students and that's shown by great events the SU puts on and the services they provide like accommodation help, the job shop and wellbeing services. The careers service is also really helpful, especially because you can use it for a year after you graduate! UWE also supports students socially by showcasing their awesome societies, there are so many to choose from! You will definitely be able to find a great friendship group joining a society, no matter what your interests are :)
That's great to hear! We're really proud of our wellbeing service and we're pleased we were able to support you. Your other feedback is so helpful for prospective students as well, so thank you for sharing your experience - and for choosing UWE Bristol.
UWE Bristol is a very welcoming place which is great for students to easily come in and get into the groove of University. All the lectures are useful as well with helping with work and so forth.
That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Wifi is funny sometimes but the wired internet is pretty good! I have yet to meet a mean person and the staff do seem to care about problems i have
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're really proud of our wellbeing service and are pleased that we've been able to support you.
Great location, great facilities.
We agree! Thanks for your feedback!
2nd year media and journalism student. They trialled a new module on our year that clearly didn't work and now we're all left with bad grades that effects our graduation.
Hello, we're sorry to hear this. Have you spoken to your course leader about this?
Have had a really good first year, the facilities on campus are amazing and are so accessible, and the university is in a great location.
We love feedback like this; thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're continuously working on improving our facilities across all our campuses so this is great news!
Great place with great tutors, however sometimes forget that the students education is the most important thing.
Thanks for your feedback; we're sorry you feel this way. Our focus is to provide an outstanding student experience and to ensure our students have access to all the information and learning support they need during their time at UWE Bristol. Our academic staff are scholars, experts and leaders in their field, with connections in industry, practice and the professions. We would encourage you to speak to your tutors to discuss any concerns you might have.
Brilliant university with great facilities and social activities for all to get involved in. Very happy being a student at the uni
Thank you for your feedback; we're so pleased you're enjoying your experience at UWE Bristol.
Glenside campus has absolutely nothing! They don’t care about you if you don’t go to frenchey
Hello, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you feel this way; Glenside has a variety of shops, eateries and social spaces. Facilities are continuously being improved. A purpose-built optometry centre is opening this September which will include an optics lab, project rooms, multi-functional teaching spaces, and training bays containing specialist equipment.
It has been a great three year experience at UWE studying Biomedical Science. All the staff were very helpful and help was available at all times.
The best life choice ever, great staff, great facilities and grest people
It is a nice university but there are some things which need improvement
Nice university on the surface. But it is a terrible place full of not so good people. Lecturers seem to not give a crap in the business courses.
really great campus, everything available to you, amazing facilities
Amazing uni, great facilities, lecturers are helpful and alround great city
Uni is great here however, my experience with some of the faculty has not been 100% positive. Biggest one would be like lack of communication (not responding to any emails). Some of them however are brilliant but my main experience is waiting for emails as they're hard to get hold of or would prefer an email
Absolutely appalled with UWE, can see the reason people disregard it as a quality university. Accommodation managers and staff are neglectful to issues that need to be resolved. Lack of support from staff. Disgusting.
Great community, broad range of study, amazing campus. Big up Bristol!
Relative small campus but it really makes it feel like a community, the student village is situated in a great area with access to cutting edge facilities like the new Bristol Business School.
Great facilities, especially the new business building
All good really, students union this year has been pretty crap though and pretty much a massive waste of money, especially the president who’s pretty much done nothing for the uni at all. Halls were good but I was in a rubbish flat so that could’ve been better. Societies have been insane, looking forward to next year
Amazing uni, great campus and nightlife, very helpful tutors
Always super supportive, staff are lovely and make you feel like you're at home, a dream uni
I am so glad that I decided to go here.
The campus is really good and there are more shops around. The gym price and facility is also great.
Overall friendly university, that offers the best facilities to students.
The main campus is very well equipped and lovely but the smaller campuses definitely need looked at. For example the students union at Glenside Campus
UWE business school lecturers are motivated and supportive, lots of extra help, activities, good social life
Fab people, friendly, good vibes, clean, great staff- so glad I chose UWE
All the faculty are amazing and experience, brings a lot into students lifes not just for the ones who lives on campus but for the outside ones as well! No regrets love the University, love the athmosphere!
Excellent facilities, great people, brilliant staff
Great University with lots to offer! Bristol is a fun city and the campus is great as all on your doorstep!
The uni has good facilities and is not too far from the city, with good bus links. The accommodation is a little pricey but it is worthwhile living on campus, especially in the first year.
Beautiful business building that I study in, living on campus and maintenance is quick.
Brilliant brand new business and law school with nice affordable restaurants. Free cinema showings weekly, lots and lots of different sports and societies.
Super good uni, modern and suits me really well
It’s great especially the brand new business school building and the new main library on frenchay campus !!!
Come from a low income background so UWE has offered much help and support in terms of bursaries and any kind of emotional support past this. Also helped out friends of mine that suffer from mental health conditions, especially those who’s have been aggravated by uni lifestyle. Don’t walk around on campus much but library is extensive and there’s always room to sit. Didn’t like the SU in freshers but haven’t really been back since.
Business block is great, The rest of the campus/library desperately needs an update
Unfortuantly so far my experience in terms of tutoring has been crap. I'm studying animation, and well, I've taught myself more on my own than in any workshops / lectures given. At the end of the day, I'm paying a callosal amount of money, so it's only fair that I expect to learn something.. at least.
Having an incredible time at Uwe
The courses promised do not match the expectations. Dissapointed.
Awful financial help won't lie great uni though having a good time so far the students union is s*** compared to places lile bucks where its free
It’s decent enough, I mean I’m going to be getting a degree, however it bigs itself up to be a completely different University to what it actually is
We have no SU anymore as it’s dead all the time, and no one gos to it. The shop prices are ridiculous and same with cafes, making it impossible to actually eat.
Love every minute of university here, staff are friendly and welcoming
Full of interesting people, as well as substances
While UWE Bristol offers amazing courses and very knowldgable staff, I believe that the university lacks in sufficient support, particularly from colloboration between the student support team and the staff themselves. Having come with several difficulties including pregnancy and personal circumstances, I believe that not enough was done or provided to ensure that I get the best support available. Instead it was made to feel like I had to fill out countless forms and never get a proper answer, rather than just speak personally to staff and have them support me. Other than that, the university does provide a great learning path for all students of all ages.
UWE staff are friendly and helpful, the blackboard website allows us to quickly and easily access all the information I need for my course and the facilities are excellent! My course is engaging, the workload is balanced and I am taught a good mixture of practical skills and theory. Anything you need, you are provided with. I’d recommend anyone to attend the University of the West of England.
Lacking comparative to other universities
A university on the rise. Some of the lectures are a bit dodgy but overall it’s very good. Danny Elvidge best lecture
Only some of campus is new, if you do business you’re sorted because there’s a brand new block. But any other subject it’s old and outdated, teaching staff are also really rude and don’t support you when you ask.
Bangin place to be, full of awesome people. Standard facilities but great quality. Sadly no swimming pool. But I love studying here and I enjoyed living on campus. Would reccomend and have
I have absolutely loved my time in UWE so far. I have made so many friends that I will have for life. The student union holds great events and cheap drinks! Especially the quiz on a Sunday night! There are plenty of societies for each individual so there is something for everyone! The uni make you feel welcome and wanted. Couldn't have chosen a better university.
There really is something for everyone here. Everywhere has a friendly yet purposeful feel and the accommodation is the best I've seen at any uni. Truly a wonderful place. Shame about the closure of the old Frenchay SU as the new bar is too small and sterile, but there's time for it to improve.
Lovely new business block, dedicated staff and courses that actively link to post grafuation employment.
Amazing time with great friends and a great course. Loved it
UWE provides a satisfying experience, with plenty of student support to compliment a comprehensive teaching programme. The facilities, whilst from the outside appear dated, are of a notable standard on the interior, with new hi-spec work spaces and clean fresh study areas.
UWE boasts a state of the art Business School, a student union that provides the perfect social space and services for students, as well as excellent sports centre and accommodating halls of residence.
Uni is very nice, Frenchay campus is lovely and well laid out
Great facilities and support if you have the initiative to find it. Although internet is 50/50 with eduroam. Amazing societies
Love uwe, great facilities, great input from su into students' lives. Great support.
You what? UWE heard endlessly here
This is a great university that supports all its students. I have made lifelong friends here and have studied a great course at the same time.
Worst experience ever at UWE, having studied my nursing degree at the Glenside campus. Very poor support for students who suffer from mental health problems, all the university seemed to do was put barriers up. I wasn't allowed to complete my course even having done the full 3 years academic work completing with a 2:1 they wouldn't allow me to complete hours required by NMC to get my pin, so I wasted three years at the university. Seminars and lectures poorly organised, one thing I will say is my personal tutors (after having a different one each year because of staff leaving) were all really good, they supported me but thepeople higher up would not. The food is over priced, accommodation on Glenside is over priced and of a very poor quality, no wireless internet in your room and for nearly £600 a month it's extortionate. good travel links around the university to the city and other campus but obviously you have to pay for that travel. I wish I chose another university sadly.
Very big and lots of study space
Course was awful, studied fine art which was very focused on conceptual art with virtually no skills taught. Only 5 hours a week of tuition (if you could call it that). There were 1-2 hour workshops on Fridays for screenprinting and other skills but these were often cancelled or so brief they weren't worth attending. Lecturers were clearly failed artists trying to push their ideas onto students. The course was a complete waste of money, going to Bristol for three years, meeting new people and enjoying the city was great. Don't waste your money go to a real university or throw £25,000 out of a window.
The students union at uwe is very small. They are good for ensuring low prices for products the uni sells which is good. There are a wide range if v facilities available including the library and sports centre.
UWE is not like every uni, it its just a new, different, and inspiring uni
Got cash point on campus aswell as NatWest bank, post room etc. No internet in laundry rooms which is mad as you need it to log in to use the machines.
The University is growing very strong recently. Love it.
In terms of the actual campus, it's really not too bad, again I expected more because on an open day the uni only showed some of their best facilities, when you actually go to the uni and start studying the rooms and favilities are actually very old and really overused, the uni is just too crowded and personally I think the new su is a waste, I much preferred the old style pub su which felt far more like a students pub that whatever you want to call it now.
Bit out of the way in terms of the city but very friendly atmosphere and am really enjoying the first year so far. Would recommend uwe a lot
Lovely campus, everything is we'll caged and not difficult to find
I'm on Glenside campus. Beautiful, old building and grounds. Very modern and new on the inside. Student union at Glenside is a bit run down and the student shop is quite expensive. However, the student union on Frenchay campus is brand new and lovely. No free bus travel which is disappointing. £1 single ticket between campuses which builds up money. The alternative is a 30 minute walk uphill which is fine on a summers day. Less clubs and societies than I thought there would be but there are plenty of sport, musical and international student societies, if they suit you.
The new students union is not big enough for the amount of students on campus even though its newly built.
Great uni, great people, love it.
Enjoyable first year. Stayed in the brand new Wallscourt accommodation which was great but clearly built on a budget. Accommodation staff were rude and sometimes entered your flat without warning.
Great uni, with lots of support and just a nice place to be
First year has been brilliant. Everything is 5/5 except the student union. Maybe the new building and club on campus will boost that!
Great uni and great friends too
I am in my second year and happy to say that the university has the best facilities for a great curriculum. Very informed teachers is an added bonus. I am from computer science department.
I've loved being at UWE over the years and as a Student it has offered so many experiences and memories I won't ever forget
Excellent choice of uni with great facilities and opportunities
UWE is a very friendly and helpful university. My first year here has been enjoyable and insightful, it's clean and modern and also in the wonderful city of Bristol!
Great uni, friendly people and staff
Great university experience & plenty of support and advice available which is important.
Pretty sure everyone loves their own university but UWE is awesome!!
Not Bristol uni, the other one
I study at Bower, which is a lovely campus. Not too crowded, but there's always people around. Staff are very helpful and friendly all the time. There's a deer park next to the building, which is nice to look at if you're bored.. Plus plenty of green space of course. The library is good, you can hire macbooks out for the day, we have a super awesome editing/work centre (EPI centre), where the trained staff can help you with software and stuff. Internet is quite fast. Media centre and print centre is also free to use for anyone and you can hire out pretty much anything you could need (eg cameras, camcorders, sound equipment, etc), and use their facilities to make stuff (we have letterpress, etching, screen print, and other fun stuff). The bus service to and from campus can be a pain, but it's manageable.
Lovely campus, just wished it had a swimming pool! Got everything else you could wish for though! Close to supermarkets, restaurents and maccies too :) Plenty of sports clubs and performing arts/music activities to choose from, just wish there were more acahemic/interest societies (debating, subject societies, etc). The students union will probably be better next year because they're building a new one, but I wish they did more on campus activities. Like halls freshers and sports matches, and nights out, etc. Wifi available throughout. Academic facilites are good :) The careers centre is good too, as is the FET one in Q block, if you're studying a subject in that faculty. Bristol is a nice city to live in too :)
