    I am in my third year at the University of Bristol and feel that I can write an honest review about being a student here.

The six faculties are:- - Faculty of Arts - Faculty of Engineering - Faculty of Medical and Veterinary Science - Faculty of Science - Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry - Faculty of Social Sciences and Law TEACHING The standard of teaching in my department and most others is exceptionally ... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent, well recognised Univeristy, great social life, Biology excellent

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hilly, fairly expensive accomodation

    I loved my time at Bristol Uni, and wish I had another year to go. In my first year I was in halls in Stoke Bishop, which involved a 40 minute trek in to uni everyday. There are halls in Clifton, only 10 minutes away, which also allow you to experience the nightlife more easily, however, most students are based in Stoke Bishop. There is a student bus which operates in the evening taking 'jolly' loads of students into town if you get bored with your hall bar. Hall food was pretty bad for me (I was in Badock - fab hall otherwise), and often you end up making your own food, so you might as well ... more

    5 Stars Opinion of a first year 06/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Being an old university, students benefit from the experience of the departments/faculties

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive to live, friends thinking Bristol is full of Oxbridge rejects

    Im actually now a second year, and over half way through my actual degree (a very scary thought!) I havent been on ciao for a while and thought i'd get back into the swing of things by updating a few opinions. About a year has past since i first wrote my opinion of Bristol University, so its about time i explain whats happened here in the last year. Finally, the construction of the new sports building is under way, and it should be ready by the beginning of the next academic year (oct 2002). It will replace the appalling excuse for a sports centre that is currently in Woodland house. The new ... more

    4 Stars Impressions from a postgraduate perspective 29/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good reputation; lovely department staff; good student support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages facilities, student accommodation, high living expenses

    When I first arrived in Bristol and saw the Wills Memorial Building - the law building, I was in awe of its architecture and when I visited the rest of the campus, I knew I had made the right choice of coming here to study instead of the other two universities that I've turned down. MY COURSE: I studied an MSc in Development and Security which is a taught postgraduate course in the Politics Department. My year's intake for taught postgrads was 150, which I was told by the head of department to have been a decrease since the year before and next year, the dept will be reducing the intake ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful city with good night life.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Many - see above!

    I applied to Bristol University in 1999 and started an undergraduate degree in the October of that year. I did not have a very good experience at all. The university is ideal if you originate from a rich background, preferably having been treated to a private education. I however, did not belong to this upper-class mentality and did not find the institution very welcoming for state school students. I know for a fact that the university is very sensitive to this issue as I spoke to the sabbatical officer and the head of my department before finally deciding that I didn't want to waste three ... more
