Ratings and Reviews
Studying at the University of Bristol has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The academic environment is both challenging and inspiring, with lecturers who are not only knowledgeable but genuinely passionate about their subjects. What I appreciate most is the level of support available — whether it’s academic guidance, wellbeing services, or career advice, there’s always someone ready to help. The campus blends historical charm with modern facilities, and its location right in the heart of the city makes it easy to enjoy everything Bristol has to offer. There’s a real sense of community here, and being surrounded by ambitious, open-minded students has truly motivated me to grow both personally and academically.

I feel very happy living in Bristol and studying in this University！Tutors are so nice and the study environment is so good！
Structured and practical course
This student accommodation in Bristol is an absolute gem! The staff are incredibly welcoming, making it feel like a second home. Nestled in the heart of the city, the location is unbeatable. With weekly fun activities, it's not just a place to live but a vibrant community to thrive in.
Clubs and societies were hit or miss. There were loads to choose from, which was great, but some were way more active than others. It really depended on who was running them that year. I tried a couple and had fun but it wasn’t a huge part of my uni life. Careers service was better than I expected. They had useful workshops and the CV feedback I got was genuinely helpful. I used them for interview prep once and it gave me a real confidence boost. Worth checking out earlier than your final year, something I wish I’d done.
I love the city and the uni buildings. The university in a very inclusive place. The support system in the uni is really amazing. The teaching structure is very organised.
An excellent university, with excellent teaching staff, facilities, academic and social opportunities!
Range of campus facilities including multiple libraries, a sports centre and other study spaces. Multiple societies that you can join. Helpful and engaging student union and careers service team. Stable wifi most of the time, depends where you are on campus.
There are numerous campus facilities that help students settle into university life.
The university of Bristol provides you with lots of opportunities.
Best value for money accommodation, great study and common rooms and there is always something happening here!
Love this Uni, everything is perfect ❤️😍😍😍
Facilities are fine. Could be better
Good experience and would totally recommend
Very close to city and campus at affordable rate
I liked the uni. Especially its campus
I think it's generally good, but during finals week or busy times, the infrastructure is always inadequate
Overall good, however quality of wifi and thereby ability to do work is terrible sometimes.
i have loved every bit of university, when people tell you “those are the best years of your life” they really didn’t lie. Dreading the thought of leaving next year but i’m so grateful for the experience i’ve been lucky enough to have!
This is a wholesome University, very nice community and overall great vibes.
I found Bristol to be an exciting and interesting university with professional, enthusiastic and down to earth staff.
Beautiful University, amazing night life. A lot of things to do
I live very comfortably here. The biggest advantage is that it is very close to the school and the indoor space is quite large.
Welcoming and suppportive- good responses from staff
super good love it people are nice and social facilities are great
Good overall. Could have better range of societies but not bad
There are lots of nice spaces around the university, which makes walking to and from lectures an enjoyable experience.
Good first year - lots of opportunities for extra curriculars… student groups have let me meet lots of wonderful people outside of those on my actual degree as well!
Good good good good good good so so good
Good experience for me! I join the dance club everyone are so nice!!!!
It’s an amazing experience being here, when you know you’ve someone don’t say you’re going back to hostel but home. It’s because of how good you feel with the people around and also the staff who sometimes are like your elder siblings.
Internet service in the college can be improved
All are good. WiFi classroom and everything
The facilities were convenient, the staff patient and friendly, and everything was great！
No complaints about the uni itself other than that the support for freshers could be better, as starting university can be incredibly overwhelming and all the events only added to that - having schemes like other unis where the upper years are assigned to freshers and guide them through the week would have really made a difference to my freshers experience
I love to read in here, it is a good university to chose.
It is a very good university..
Completing my postgraduate studies at the University of Bristol was an extremely exciting experience. The overall experience was very good, and most of the teachers were very knowledgeable and kind, especially Professor Ai-Ling Lai, whose teaching style I really enjoyed! However, the professional abilities of some teachers were a bit disappointing, and they did not seem to match the professional image of the University of Bristol. Overall, the experience of studying at the University of Bristol will be a memorable and unforgettable wonderful memory in my life.
very good people and city Teacher and staff are very friendly
I love university of bristol, and I love all social life!
Marilou helps me to pick my heavy parcels She is so helpful!
Great university. Haven’t felt student union presence as much as I feel I should have. Thank UoB :)
Very good university with many student unions
Love our university good facilities
Love Bristol uni however the WiFi can be seriously unreliable campus wide (including accommodation)
Very proud of its elite reputation, but counting on it for everything which makes an open dialogue and critique difficult to raise. Teaching is incredibly varied at Sociology. The structure of units often messy, and inconsistencies between units. Academics usually more engaged with their own ‘’marginalised’ position as academics rather than students’ rights and respect for their payments and basic rights like appeal and genuinely blind marking.
Very happy with the services provided
Very enganging and pleasant. Very much worth it
Irfan Haider Night Shift team member has been very helpful. He has helped me and my friends a lot
Marilou is my reception and help my fix my power in my room
Marilou helped me very carefully, and I am very happy. I hope to meet her often in my future life
This city is a good place for people to live here, but the living expenses are a little higher.
Good uni, nothing much to fault, good social life.
Plenty of libraries and social spaces. Would be great if the student union had a better pub/club
Till now I have had a good experience within the university and the facilities and events conducted by it was keeping me engaged.
Good yes I love university it is
Its a very good uni though. I like the building, the academic structure and the socials. Just the city of Bristol itself is a bit pricey and hilly. But for the uni, the teaching is ok, the the examination is ok though it is far away from where you study
The school organises a lot of activities through emails. My favourite thing about the school is the volunteer activities. It's a great way to socialise and meet new people and get involved in problem solving with new people. The volunteering activities I've participated in have been fun and I've learnt a lot from them. Besides that, the library and study rooms are very convenient. I really enjoyed my university experience.
The University of Bristol is really great. I've learned a lot of knowledge here. Moreover, there are many events held here, which have helped me acquire many additional skills
the UOB is very good uni, i love studying at the Uni
Amazing university, you get all the support you need!
The university has so many helpful facilities to help with finding a job, finding housing, and support with learning. Also, it provides many opportunities for socialising which really adds to the university experience
Loads of fun opportunities and ways of meeting new people
Staff are very helpful and reasonable though I have personally had little experience with careers staff etc.
The university of Bristol is situated on top of a hill and it is accessible through bus and train. It has got some good facilities with great indoor sports and fitness building
Overall good, but I feel that the campus environment needs to be improved
I really like the reception and the location plus the washing machine
Everywhere i have been in the Uni has been very welcoming and spacious. It gives me spark to learn and study with motivation. The cafe’s dotted around the campus are lovely. The array of societies to join with the chance to ‘Give it a go’ at the start of the semester is a great addition to start something new.
good university, :DDDDDDDDDDDD
Its good in the university with all the required facilities
Excellent university with high level education equipments!
The WiFi sometimes not that good.
Had a good time here, enjoyed every day
Jack working at the orchard height reception is super helpful, I want to leave a positive review for him.
Incredible university - so grateful to be here
Students union building quite far away from uni, and WiFi can be lacking sometimes however great services
Great experience with events there everyday. All professors are approachable and services at university are great too!
So many social spaces, very green, and a light, welcoming environment with a nice buzz. Good vibes all around
Good fun, lots to do, good facilities
Overall, the infrastructure is great, and everyone does their best. It feels slightly short staffed.
Very good overall, I'm very glad I chose bristol uni
I love constance～ She is really kind，nice and helpful and Brunel House is warm family for me！
Really good freshers welcome activities. Need more study spaces during exams though!
Wifi could be improved in some areas of the campus.
Overall, the school is very good, but the group arrangement in group work is not very reasonable
Good uni to be fair, I like the uni
fab, this uni is everything and more
The university provides excellent support services to us as international students, including social and academic events.
The university is aware of which areas need modernising and is working to achieve this. Places like the Senate House study building are amazing and the the WiFi is mostly reliable!
My time so far at Orchard Heights has been wonderful. I’m really impressed with the receptionist who works here Jack. In my time here Jack has been extremely helpful in every possible way you could think. He has a deep appreciation and understanding of the many cultures that live in this building and seems to know so much about my native Iraq, which I’ve never seen before in a British person. He’s taught me so much about his native city and guided me to many great establishments that an Iraqi like myself would appreciate. His love for helping people, diversity and other cultures is seccond to none.
Amazing university! A lots of green area and welcoming staff
Have had issues with WiFi in the past but seem to have been resolved and works good now. Everyone is very friendly and lecturers are always happy to answer questions. The SU has lots of events on and good advertising. Lots of really nice and comfy social spaces but sometimes struggle to find a seat, especially at lunch. Similarly, the libraries and spots to do work in are a really good environment to study in. I am really enjoying my time here.
I wanna express my gratitude to Marilou, the reception team member. When my wardrobe door broke, she came over right away to check it out and helped me get in touch with a repair person. The door’s all fixed now—huge thanks to her!
Love the place. It provides amazing services and space
The environment is very good, very safe, the reception is very good, and the problem is dealt with quickly.
Jack is the best receptionist. I would like to congratulate him and get the management to acknowledge his help towards us Greek/Cypriots especially.
PRETTY GOOD EXPERIENCE AS A FIRST YEAR
