Really good uni for facilities and courses. Not great that the student union was closed for half of my time at the uni and it's a bit far away. Because it's not campus based there arent any shops but all the big departments have cafes.

so good, so many admin jobs, love em
Wifi only good in certain areas, in areas such as the Hawthorns it is slow and cuts out randomly
Support lacking and wouldn't recommend for either student experience or teaching.
Bristol is a great uni for the arts and humanities (what I do ) - the extra curricular side is immense - from sci- fi soc to your classic drama societies and a wide array of music societies - there is literally something for everyone to get involved with. my first year I wasn't a massive fan of my accommodation (Churchill hall) but I think its partly the luck of the draw - I just had to find my friends through my subject and extra -curriculars. Bristol is a brilliant place to live with about 40 different things going on at once (at least lol) - just remember YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING :)
Bristol is a great uni to go to
A truly inspirational and excellent university! It has opened so many doors for my future development!
Great fun, good course, ok accommodation
Amazing student union and building, so much going on- they also have gender neutral toilets which I think is really cool. The wifi (eduroam) is everywhere in places you can't even imagine.
lovely place, although a bit hipstery
Really great experience here thus far.
Only started here this year and love it, good atmosphere and friendly people. Accommodation is fine and the staff were welcoming.
Such an amazing uni in such an amazing city, there's always something on for anyone.
Student union has good drinks deals although it is a bit far away from my accommodation
Sick place, great social scene and sets you up fairly well in life. Best place to spend 3 years
The best course for computer science and electronics. Great labs, teamwork projects and events. Vibrant city, loads of things to do and active societies.
Social aspect is absolutely fantastic, music scene is immense, best place to be
Really good uni for facilities and courses. Not great that the student union was closed for half of my time at the uni and it's a bit far away. Because it's not campus based there arent any shops but all the big departments have cafes.
Not anywhere near enough money spend on the Arts or Social Science faculties.
Exciting and fun at first. Some problems with slow admin.
One of the best universities for Mechanical Engineering, Law and Psychology . Get in there and you're fun is guaranteed.
Total lack of academic support, but great academic reputation - so good degrees are harder to get than they need to be but well worth it. Student Union has the campaigning passion of a donkey.
Amazing city, great variety of people, had the best craziest time. Also really passionate lecturers
