VERY HAPPY

(5)·By Darcy C·Politics· Jun 2023
I am super chuffed with my choice of uni, everything about Bristol has full filled my expectations, my course is extremely interesting and my lectures are great! However, the only downside would be the amount of lectures cancelled due to strikes, they deserve the pay!! As they are amazing! Getting to UWE from city centre by bus is easy and my city-centre accommodation is the best, as everything is on my doorstep!

The best university

(5)·By Lucy C·Paramedic science· Jun 2023
I've been struggling with some personal issues and UWE have been nothing but supportive and I truly cannot thank them enough. The social life seems really good with easy access into Bristol city centre which has lots of clubs etc. Glenside campus is a really nice peaceful environment where you feel fully relaxed with a park for a walk opposite

Life changing

(5)·By Jess B·Drama· Jun 2023
My experience at UWE was transformative and life-changing. I made brilliant friends and memories. The course is fun and challenging and I would recommend it to anyone.
The accommodation is well situated and I personally would recommend Nelson and Drake or Market Gate as they were the most popular accommodations and where most of the social life is.

Amazing, living on campus allowed me to meet so many new people. I've never been in a situation with that many people in the same situation before and it was really conducive to making friends and getting to know people. Bristol is an amazing city aswell with so much going on and attending the university allowed me to experience it. Lovely, couldn't fault where I lived (wallscourt) and when I lived there there were some bits of fascia boarding unfinished so it was on par with the cheapest accomodation on campus (the next year it was he most expensive), and I was only disturbed by outside work about 3 times all year. I was living in four storey accomodation with 11 other people, sharing a kitchen but only sharing a bathroom with one person (4 bedrooms and two bathrooms on each floor with the kitchen/living room on the bottom). Library is amazing, second to none. Classrooms were all modern with great facilities. The student union had recently been built and is still brilliant. Great food and recreation area with pool tables - and a cheap bar too! (civil engineering) It has been really interesting and engaging. The things I've learnt about changed the way I thought about a lot of stuff in society. Amazing. Every day had things to do, which in a way distracted me from my course a little but I still got it done. Tuesday was the new Saturday!

Physiotherapy / Occupational, Year 3

(5)·By Juliette K·Physiotherapy· Jul 2021
Brilliant, the society organised socials as well as the general student union. Bristol was a good city to do freshers in too I didnt live in their accommodation, I moved straight into a house share with other healthcare students but I've heard its good Library isnt as big as frenchay but there is always room to do work, lots of resources for our courses. Sports centre on frenchay campus is high quality, gym is always busy though. Glenside SU nowhere near as good as Frenchay SU but still a good place to go for lunch, between classes etc. They jump immediately into physiotherapy specific modules, everything is applied to the future career you've chosen, and there is a mix of practical classes, lectures and seminars. Small team of staff mean there is always lots of support where you need it Not as good as my home city of London but very varied music varieties, lots of different bars and clubs to choose from, all with different music preferences. Lots of things to do, places to go, places to eat, good city centre for shopping

Law / Legal Studies, Graduate

(5)·By Tia K·Law· Jul 2021
Amazing, loads of events on and off of campus. Loads of deals on club tickets in Bristol too. Can't fault it, if there was ever an issue campus maintenance would come sort it ASAP SU is great, the food and drinks were so cheap and there were regular events on in the evening which were really good. The law building was built 3 years ago so is practically brand new, amazing facilities and very modern. Library is massive , can't fault it has different levels depending on whether you want to work in silence or in a busy environment. The course was very demanding and is a LOT of work but also so interesting. Criminal, family and sexual offenders and offences were the most interesting lecturers for me. Bristol is perfect for student life. It's such an accepting and happy place to live. The nightlife is also incred and has something for everyone, always an event on to suit every body. Motion, lola lo's and lakota are the best.

it was great, at the time there was lots of events for those who drink and those who don't. it was a great insight to what the 3 years we're going to bring wallscourt accommodation had the biggest bedrooms, the houses you share a bathroom with one other female if you are female etc. which was fine as we had bigger rooms. other accomodatio s had en-suite but small bedrooms library is great with multiple floors for different types of study (silent study, group study and quiet study), sports facilities are so great compared to other uni's, with great access to gym membership especially living on campus. student union has great events but is slightly small, but never matters too much! lectures are well explained and well taught, the course is laid out in a nice way with all resources being easily accessible online / in the library. lecturers are more than happy to help outside of lecture hours too city life is great, so great that i am still here after graduating. the nightlife is amazing along with great shopping centres
