Dislikes
- College is good, but it needs to work on how placement functions.
Campus Life
- Good. The University was in the city centre and was easily accessible.
Accommodation
- There are platforms, and even the university provides facilities. Whatsapp groups are available. I paid 75000 rupees per annum but increase by 5000 every year electricity extra and water also. i took the room from a friend who was leaving.



Likes
- Just to clarify, my course was jointly taught by 2 universities, UoB and UWE. and is managed by UoB. each of these universities have their own pros and cons.
- Both of these university had good infra, campus, and all the required facilities.
Dislikes
- Yet both of them lag in teaching. I will say the learning I got from these two is 2/10.
Campus Life
- UoB has a city campus, every other department spreaded across the city, in near localities.
- UWE is a campus university, which makes it great and more reliable than UOB
- Both of these universities have a good number of clubs and sports clubs.
- UoB is better in terms of activities, Student Union, international clubs, etc.
- UoB has more beautiful libraries (8 of them); UWE has one BIG library.
- UWE has better sports accessibility than UoB.
Accommodation
- UoB's student accommodation. I had to pay 1000 pounds per month. ensuite room, pool, and common room.
Likes
- I like the part where the university take good care of its student and how diverse Is the university which could to meet people and make friends across the world. It offers good life around it many clubs, unions and events.
Dislikes
- I didn’t like the part where university provides its masters courses only just for one year and how complicated it can be to understand its career service centre, and its short staff for career services for around 30000 students they literally around 20-30 people that’s it which is bad actually.
Campus Life
- They have great infrastructure, clubs and events. I love libraries; they are just great, hand down they are the best in the world.
- If you are able to make friends, campus can be great; if not, you have to an alcoholic or interested in clubs; otherwise, you will have a rough, lonely time.
Accommodation
- Actually, the university was very helpful to students to get their accommodations sorted, but it was very competitive, as there were plenty of international students coming from across the world.
- I would recommend students start this accommodations part very early, as it is also very hard to find a place in Bristol. The monthly budget depends upon what you can afford; it varies from 650 to 1500 pounds as well.
Likes
- Latest curriculum: when compared to my college in undergraduate the curriculum over here seems it gets revised a lot frequently
- State of the art facilities and labs: we have a lot of latest equipment in the lab
- Diverse international student community: There are people from all around the world
Dislikes
- Limited practical industry exposure compared to the academic focus: Compared to other courses which have capstone project done with industry we dont have that exposure
- Availability of specialized electives in emerging areas: there are no electives in this course at least for me so choose your program wisely
- Limited flexibility in tailoring modules to individual career goals: you expect this as you are paying so much and everyone says that foreign academics are the best
Campus Life
- Well, there is no, like, border for the campus
- The university buildings are scattered all around Bristol, but mostly your classes will be held in Clifton; maybe you can call that the Clifton campus.
- The facilities include library, sport facilities, a gym, and a swimming pool; they also have a global lounge where you can sit and relax
- Well, there are a lot of events that carry out throughout the year organised by various societies at the university of Bristol. for those you can check the Bristol su website.
- As I said earlier, there are a lot of student societies which carry out all kinds of events around the year. they also take you out to some iconic places like Stonehenge, etc. For sports there are intramurals where you can play and they also have their futsal team and other teams as well.
Accommodation
- So there is the university's portal to find accommodation if you want to opt in for that. you can choose from various accommodations that the university has and then you put in your preferences and they give you a decision based on that.
- My monthly rent was around 900 pounds per month and the facilities include a gym and a snooker table, there are 2 common areas where you can hang out, and there are also various events that are organised by the accommodation team.
- The accommodation process is pretty straightforward; you just put your preferences based on the places you like and that's it.
- For future students the advice i can give them is just don't look at the distances from the campus; also consider that Bristol is quite hilly so maybe you check the elevation from google maps because this happened to me. my place is around a 20 mins walk from uni but i have to climb a hill, which is a pain.
- In my accommodation there are a lot of Asians; it's called print hall. But, the students are usually evenly divided based on the preferences they like

Likes
- I loved the infrastructure.
- Faculty is world class and made the experience at college easy.
- Student community support was helpful and made the journey as a student easier.
Dislikes
- It does not have a campus, it's spread throughout the city.
Campus Life
- This university has a ton of clubs, catering to every section of students. And these clubs keep organizing events in which students can take part and socialize with like minded students.
Accommodation
- I found the accomadation via Univerity's housing portal.
- Month rent was 840 gbp and the room was at a 5 min walk distance from the city centre and the university.

Likes
- City, Culture, Friendly Staffs
- People, Locals, Students, facilities
- Rich history, buildings, reputation.
Dislikes
- Could have better university accommodation especially for postgrad students
- Could have better harmonized University events rather than scattered events.
- Academic timelines can be adjusted but guess its same across all Unis in the UK so fair.
Campus Life
- There is only one campus; however, various departments are spread across the city of Bristol. For example, the Dental School is located towards the city centre and the Veterinary dept is towards the outskirts of the city. There are campus fests almost every week but I usually attend those relevant to my interests.
- People in industry-related courses find it easier to get jobs and it is a major advantage if you have related work experience.
- However, it could be quite difficult depending on the job market these days. You could go without a full-time job for months and even those with full-time jobs are usually in start-ups. It depends on the job market and the above comments are in relation to the year 2024-25.
Likes
- I like that my course at the University of Bristol, had learned professors who had a lot of expertise in their subject and also an experience on how to teach the subject. They always linked theoretical knowledge with practical examples which helped to understand how is the theoretical knowledge linked with the practical implementations in real life.
- There were sufficient assignments given to us, along with synchronous and asynchronous classes and materials to gain more knowledge in all aspects.
- We were also provided with the names of books that were easily found in the library and e-books were also available for free from the library which helped a lot to get comprehensive details on the subject we were studying.
Dislikes
- There were language barriers sometimes where the professors were not able to be comprehensive about what they wanted to teach.
- What I didn't like was mostly that it was quite expensive. Even printouts were not free and took some amount and I being a person who wants hard copies of stuff, was facing some difficulties.
- There were not many practical sessions to get better practical exposure.
Campus Life
The campus life is great! There are a huge number of clubs and societies according to your interests including, dance, music, art, yoga, fitness, etc. There are events for all the festivals across the world which do not make you miss your home. There are sports facilities such as swimming, gym, badminton, basketball, and paddleball. They also have summer sessions where you get classes for free. There are multiple libraries for various domains like engineering, law, medicine, etc with all relevant materials required and enough study spaces to accommodate all. WiFi is present in all the buildings provided by the university for free. They also have services like printers, Computers, borrowing books, etc.
Accommodation
I took a private accommodation 15 mins by bus from the university. I had a room in a 5 BHK independent house. It cost me 650 GBP without bills monthly. Bills added around 100 pounds. Other spaces are student accommodations which are a little expensive options. the range of rent goes between 800-1000 pounds per month.
Likes
- It has a very reputable image and part of prestigious community plus it is a top 9th University in Bristol.
Dislikes
- One aspect of my college/university experience that I find particularly challenging is the lack of flexibility in the curriculum. Many of the courses are structured in a rigid manner, leaving little room for exploration or customization based on individual interests or career goals. This limited flexibility can be frustrating, especially for students who seek to delve deeper into specific subjects or pursue interdisciplinary studies. Additionally, the scheduling of classes and availability of elective courses often pose constraints, making it difficult to create a well-rounded educational experience. Furthermore, the bureaucratic processes within the institution can sometimes hinder efficient communication and problem-solving, leading to delays and inefficiencies in academic matters. Overall, while I appreciate the resources and opportunities provided by my college/university, I believe that greater flexibility and adaptability in the curriculum and administrative processes would greatly enhance the learning experience for students.
Campus Life
It was the best. We had an universal wifi system in the whole Britain.
Accommodation
So, I would suggest to go for university accommodation, its a bit expensive than the private one's but it worth paying more as you avoid all the hassle and tension finding new
Likes
- I chose UoB for its QS Ranking credibility and Alumni placement ratio.
- The fact that it gave me access to the UK workforce & the economy, the course also allowed me to pursue a subject that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to in India as I needed a business degree to study business further.
Dislikes
- The course was not academically challenging enough and not much substantial learning came out of it. All lectures were online and only 2-3 seminars in person. The class wasn't too diverse either affecting the quality of commination as everyone's ability to communicate in English was not at par
Campus Life
Being a city campus the university was very enriching with an advance facilities and infrastructure even in the oldest of structures; with on-campus gyms, sporting facilities, multiple libraries, labs, etc. There are plenty of extra-curricular activates to be involved in from celebrating various cultural festivals to sporting activities.
Accommodation
I opted for a single en-suite room that was quite far from the university buildings that my seminars were geld in. But there are many kinds of accommodation to opt from and all the international students are promised university accommodation if you register until a certain time but can still get in the waitlist and usually find something. The accommodations are mixed in all ways but you can choose based on gender, dietary requirements, etc,
