dentistry

(5)·By Andreea M·Animal Science· Jun 2023
i love learning about this subject as it is something that i want to persue in the future and it something that interests me so much and it takes a lot of dedication to get to where i am now, but i am greatful for being at this uni and enjoying it as you get to learn stuff you never even have imagined and with such a honour to be doing dentistry it is a very cool and interesting subject to do in the future but also, how welcoming the environment is and the people. I personally recommend going to this uni as it offers you a lot of great and amazing things and something that you want to persue in the future and can really help with your career and life opportunities as it makes this more easier for you and it reduces the hard work that in some other places people have to work really hard to earn money to live and survive in this world.

Love uni

(5)·By Eve D·Economics· Jun 2023
Uni has been a completely unique experience for me; it has been very challenging at times in terms of managing workload, social life and everything else, but it is something I know I'll never forget.

Psychology / Criminology, Graduate

(5)·By Beattie P·Psychology· Jul 2021
Freshers week was really fun and I met so many people. It wasn't particularly structured from university, but there was a set number of nights that everyone went to together. Lots of new places and things to explore. My university halls were so lovely. Really modern and had a great communal kitchen with space for sofas and a tv which was really social. My room was really nice with an en-suite. However this was very expensive and other accommodations at Bristol aren't so nice. Libraries weren't amazing, they were all reasonably small and dotted around campus. There was always limited space and it would be quite hard to find a seat. The building for my course was good with lots of computers. But the social aspect was lovely with loads of nice coffee shops run by uni. The course was well structured, I found my third year the most interesting as I had the choice to pick my own modules. Choosing my own research question for my dissertation was a great experience to learn new skills, and I have learnt a lot. Bristol as a city is amazing. Always has lots to do, and there is something going on every weekend. The nightlife is really fun, and having two universities in the city made it really great for students. The countryside is beautiful and I found it the perfect mix between city and country.

Business Studies / Management, Year 2

(5)·By Chiamaka C·Business· Jul 2021
Freshers week was fun but a little bit confusing because I came from a different Country. And our system of Education ain't the same Not so bad, very very affordable This is top notch. I love taking pictures there aswell because it's well equipped The lectures are friendly and can actually speak properly where everyone could understand Not so bad. Having friends around who can actually be there in your social and educational life was worth it

University of Bristol: a short story

(5)·By Charlotte H·Politics· Jun 2023
At my three years at the University of Bristol, I could not recommend it more. I have absolutely loved every second of my time here. I love my course, the societies, the city and the nightlife. One slight downside would be on my course the amount of contact hours is abysmal. I am third year and currently only have 4 contact hours per week. However the support that is available is excellent at the University and I am extremely sad to leave.

My favourite university by far

(5)·By dan b·Biology· Oct 2018
Bristol is awesome, although I do think it sometimes relies on its 'prestige factor'. The history department is good and the lecturers are the best in their fields in terms of knowledge. However, there are a couple of issues, like there aren't enough contact hours and the library is over-crowded. One thing I would definitely recommend is checking what areas of history you would like to do before applying, as I have been stuck studying areas I'm not interested in. The university itself is good, as are the facilities. The city is amazing and full of very interesting people; out of all the unis I have been to, Bristol has the best mix when it comes to beautiful buildings, a good social life and prestige. A degree from Bristol is highly valued, so you will not be disappointed.

Geography, Year 3

(5)·By Izzy R·Geography· Jul 2021
Freshers week was really fun and there were lots of organised club nights from the uni. The geography department put on some stuff for us too, like gave us mentors in second year which was really helpful- especially helping with essay plans later in the term! I was in riverside which was really nice and modern. In a great location, although was quite loud as next to king street which is full of pubs (but usually we were at them so it was ok!). The recycling bins did however wake us up nearly every morning which was quite annoying, especially when hungover. I don't really use the SU loads but it's really nice and the balloon bar (SU pub/cafe) is a great venue with decent priced drinks. Sports facilities were a bit far away unless you lived in Stoke Bishop, however all first years get a free bus pass from uni so this wasn't so bad to access. Really interesting content from world leading lecturers. The course was really varied in first year and then you could specialise more in second year, and even more in third year. Bristol is an amazing city, with lots of fun pubs, clubs and cafes. Also lots of lovely outdoor spaces, with the Downs, harbourside and clifton suspension Bridge being my personal favourites.

It is so amazing! Have a lot of work to do, so over the weekends they are packed with practice exams and homework! Struggling to pay for bills and food though!

I have really enjoyed studying here. I've made good friends, had good options for maths modules and opportunities to work on the committee for a society.

Sociology, Year 3

(5)·By Grace W·Sociology· Jul 2021
It was so fun, lots of club nights and support from the university with introductory lectures! i loved my accommodation, en suite very sociable! The libraries are great, good access and resources. The student union could do with more social events but it's a great building with lots to offer. the course is so insightful, good teaching even with the stress of assignments. it was easy to catch up on lectures when i fell behind It took a lot to get used to but i love the sociability of it, nightlife and access to shops!
