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.

- 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,

Accommodation
Accommodation is great here but very costly, I'm paying 600Gbp per month which is equivalent to 60000 INR
University of Bristol is ranked 49th globally and they have many partners which could help me to start my career with them, according to survey 96%of graduates get job within 3months of their graduation
Accommodation
i lived in the university accommodation- Marlborough House. it was the best place for post-graduate students. with weekly cleaning and garbage disposal facilities. the fees range from 175 pounds to 200 pounds per week. there are ensuite rooms with shared kitchen (4-6 ppl) and studio appartments
The factors that drove me to choose the University of Bristol was the contents of my course. they all were of my interest. the worldwide ranking of the university was also a contributing factor. In addition the city of the university seemed extremely lively and welcoming. Bristol is green and a perfect student university. The university is also enriched with history and it is a privilege to study here.
Campus Life
I had opted for a full-time MSc Public health course, which was more demanding with regard to coursework and self-study when compared to my undergraduate course. I experienced problems associated with coping mechanisms during my time at university; well-being services were consistently advertised. I appreciate that the University of Bristol priorities mental health concerns and services. My course provided me with deep subject knowledge and allowed me to connect with established professionals in the field, which was greatly beneficial. There were numerous opportunities to join societies and interact with like-minded students, which I have great regard for.
Accommodation
I lived in one of the oldest campus accommodations and was sharing a studio apartment on dual occupancy basis. The accommodation I stayed in did not generally allow dual occupancy, however, I was provided the studio as a private let. It had two separate beds (on request), a kitchen area, two study tables (on request) and two cupboards (on request). The accommodation had older hob/stove fittings than the single occupancy rooms, however, the repair work was generally done within a short period of requesting it. The tenancy cost was around £ 400 per person per month and the entire cost was covered in three instalments paid over a period of one year.
Accommodation
Yes, I lived in a University Accommodation Hall. I shared the kitchen with 3 other people and the infrastructure was great. All the facilities were provided like WiFi and an attached bath. The cost is 171.3 pounds weekly.
I wanted to study Public Health and the University of Bristol was one of the highest ranked universities in the field and the University was also ranked in World's Top 100 Universities World and in the top 10 in the UK. The application process was simple as well.
