University of Bath Accommodation: Cost, Facilities & Photos

• I applied for Uni accommodation but it was a city accommodation named Green Park House. My accommodation was approx 2 miles from the Uni with regular buses on U1 route.
• My monthly rent was approx 800 pounds. And 5 people had ensuite washrooms with a communal kitchen. This was quite spacious. All utilities were included in the rent.
• To be honest, I did not face any challenge at all securing the accommodation.
• In Bath, I would suggest university accommodations as the number of private accommodations is quite limited.

• I used online platforms to search for accommodations like Amber Student, University Living, etc.
• The rent I was paying was 278 GBP per week as I had rented out a studio. This did not include laundry services or any food services, just the accommodation room.
• It was tricky to figure out whether I should stay on campus or near the city center. However, it was the perfect decision to live near the city center as a Master's student to have the ideal experience. Another challenge I faced was deciding which accommodation would be most ideal (given the similar price range) James House or The Exchange as they are both very well located.
• It is a 20-30 minute bus ride and most of the Indian students end up living around the city centre because its more convenient to travel every day if you have a part-time job or if you freely want to explore the city.

• As I previously mentioned, I stayed at the most expensive student accommodation provided by the university which was on campus. Booking and payment was all through their portal.
• Monthly rent was roughly 1050 pounds. This included everything from cleaning charges(communal areas only), free access to the washing machine, drying room, common games room, an ensuite bedroom(attached bathroom) with a common kitchen.

• I applied to over 20 business schools in the UK.
• The universities I got rejections from are as follows: University of Leeds, Aston Business School, Kingston University, University of Stirling, University of Liverpool, University of Glasgow. The rejection was mainly due to a lack of business or managerial experience in my CV. These universities mainly look for 3-5 years of managerial experience. I had roughly 4 years of experience (includes lead experience but not managerial).
• I applied to these universities apart from the above: University of Bath, Lancaster University Management School, University of Strathclyde, Durham University, University of Birmingham, University of Sheffield, University of Nottingham, Loughborough University, Cardiff University, University of Surrey, Brunel Business school, Queen's University Belfast, Birmingham City University, Buckinghamshire New University, University of westminister, Hult business school, University of East Anglia, Bangor University, University of Sussex.
• While most of the universities did not reply, I got offer letters from the following: University of Surrey, Brunel Business school, Lancaster University, Queen's University Belfast, University of Bath, Bangor University, Hult business school.
• Here are the factors I considered while choosing Bath over others: QS ranking of the university, proximity to major cities like London, university reputation, extra-curricular activities, scholarship, no hard need to write GMAT, career prospects, multi-project suite and reviews from alumni.
• Once applied and waited for 10 days, I got an email for the first round of interviews which was more of a culture fit interview, explaining my professional experience and intention to do an MBA. After a week I got selected for the second round which was with the career head, where they will assess if MBA is the right way and how they can help us achieve it. Got the conditional letter after two weeks or so. There was a video submission done to apply for a scholarship (optional).
• If the candidate's professional experience suffices, they do not ask for a GMAT but an IELTS score of 7 or above is a must. It was very smooth and probably one of the fastest ones comparing to other universities.
• September 2023 intake was the one I planned for. In the UK, there are generally 2 intakes: September and January, only 5-10% of all universities have Jan intake which is a selected list of good colleges.
• I wanted to do an MBA to start my own business in the future. Due to rising competition in India, the best way for me to do this was through an international MBA. Overall, the timeline was spread out over 2 months. From the initial date of application, to the unconditional letter.

Accommodation facilities are good. Every student gets a personal room for themselves so privacy is maintained. My accommodation cost was 162 GBP per week. Different accommodations have different price ranges depending on the type of room style you select.

I chose this university based on its ranking in my field and based on how they had advertised their teaching and course curriculum. Overall, the experience has been decent with respect to academics, but not that great when it comes to marking for exams/ assignments.

I chose the higher end of the accommodation which costs around 11,000£ for the entire year with en-suite and a double bedroom . But the average rent would be around 170-180$ for a week.

The ranking of the university, the reviews from previous students, and the career prospects made me choose this university and the particular program. The overall experience of my study time at the University of Bath was top notch. Ever since the first day, my professors laid down a clear path of study and how the curriculum would progress. There were several social events to make friends at, which made it easy to make friends. The university hosted frequent career events to interact with recruiters, build connections and get to know more about the jobs. The university allowed us to choose the subjects and modules we wanted based on our interests and we were well informed about each module.  We also had the option to choose a practice track to gain real world knowledge by working with companies.

The university is having so many city and on campus accommodations. As I was in the city accommodation, which was great built and there were so many options , either you can live alone or with someone ; with many perks like private bathroom or common. The rooms are clean and built suitable for students with ease of transport, ease of food access to nearby stores. The accommodations are very safe and the staff are always active for any issues . You have to make your own food with all access of kitchens. The average rent was between 164 pounds and 268 pounds per week.

The overall experience was great and it really developed me a lot, in terms of way of thinking, positive mindset and how to create a good work culture and environment. The course gave me a lot of learning and some very good and big projects including team work and individual aspects of striking them. There were some challenges and problems too, but with the support of faculties and a good environment, I tackled everything and successfully completed everything with so much of excitement and experience.

IQ Student Accomodation. It's a private accomodation but some rooms are taken by the University. Most postgraduate students stay in fully private accommodations and share with other students. Can look at FB groups and accomodation websites. Is a bit of a pain to find good accommodation. Would be better to look as early as you can. Uni accomodation is mostly for undergrads and I wouldn't recommend it unless they have one fully for postgrads Infrastructure in student accommodations is great. 24/7 service, WiFi is good, different room options to choose from. Costlier compared to private accommodations. Around 650 GBP per month for mine paying in 4 installations for a room with only kitchen shared. Staying with 1 flatmate. Supposed to be 7. Luckily enough got plenty of space in the kitchen but can get lonely. For accomodation look at sites like: University website, UniAcco, SpareRoom, FB groups etc.

To start a new life in a new country and pursue a career in Data Science. The program offers a 1 year placement for the MSc Data Science program which is basically a year long entry level role but it is competitive and you need to apply to secure a placement. The university is very well reputed and has a great CS department with amazing employment prospects and careers service team.

I was living in private accomodation. It was shared house with private rooms. My accomodation cost was £5,500 per year.

University of Bath is one of the best university in UK for Data Science with good ranking. The curriculum provided by the university is really good which covers almost every topic in data science. The deep learning and reinforcement learning modules would be very helpful and not included in most of the other universities. The course had 2years of course including placement which I thought would be beneficial for getting job in new country.

It?s very expensive on-campus. I stayed near to my university like within walking distance, 5 minutes walk.

I wished to study abroad and previously I visited this university once so I wished to study here.

The quality of the rooms depend upon the amount you are willing to spend on your accommodation. It depends on: Whether you are staying in university / private accommodation , Whether you are staying in a studio apartment / a regular apartment , whether you are sharing any facilities with others including bathrooms, kitchens and rooms as well as whether you are sharing any utilities (if applicable in that accommodation)

The course modules were really interesting to me, especially since I had done similar subjects in my under graduation. With relevant topics in todays day and age , it was a step up from what I had learned and how I have to apply it in my work life as I begin working in my family business and look for new opportunities as and how I take over the business. In a post-covid world having these techniques to think and look at opportunities in different ways will help stand out from the crowd.
