Good courses, nice lecturers, the campus is amazing, every library has what you need, it is actually amazing here. Top 5 universities UK, which is also something to note

Good facilities. Always striving to improve. Could have better pastoral support and management. Timetables were often very very late as was marking but in the whole the staff were friendly and approachable and I think they’ve made me into a good doctor.

I am very happy with my choice. The campus is beautiful, full of greenery and the students and staff are helpful and kind. Some libraries and study spaces are open 24/7 and usually every building has its own library and cafe.

Bristol is a great university if you love city life. With the Clifton campus 2 minute walk from Cabot Circus and harbour side, if you love being amongst the hustle and bustle of an lively and modern city centre, Bristol is for you.

Really nice I like it a lot, and I'm not just saying that for a donut. Course is abit challenging but the people make it worth while.

I am an Erasmus student and I'm included in the university as if I was a local student. That criteria is important for international students.

The SU is not impressive, isn't super welcoming and we feel awkward when there.. sports unions are expensive and far for many The university is okay, the MSc Palaeobiology course is nice but less good than expected with some unfair grading, or worse lots of things are badly organised (administration, time table). No fieldwork in palaeo which is really disappointing because of its importance in the job.

expencise but useful The campus might not be the most beautiful, but the facilities are very good. The library is huge with loads of seating (this is a big deal!) and the gym is really goo

Very nice, although some buildings are quite old fashioned. A lot of space for studying, including 24/7 facilities, and overall a nice area with good staff.

Great lectures and lecturers, buildings are well maintained and modern, everyone is friendly, libraries are great and well stocked. Only negatives are not enough contact hours and expensive rent.

Good, but vet is not a flexible course (veterinary). Good that the campus is ingrained into the city its self and there is always something at night specially along The main parts

Arrived in first year being told by the uni that they couldn't find me a room in halls and that I need to find somewhere to live in a new city by myself. Made no effort to include me or my flatmates in any of the university events or anything. Physics course is good I enjoy it, everything is okay, but socially the university has put me in a position where I feel completely excluded from the city and uni itself. I think it's a good uni and I'm a special case, but still it was allowed to happen.

I didn’t expect this good experience at University as I have now. A lot of social events, the staff is really helpful and supportive and the city is beautiful. I’m not even mentioning the quality of the studies itself.

Great uni, but not much to support students with mental health issues or issues with finance. Other than that, I suppose the university is decent.

University of Bristol is a very good university that I really enjoy. My course is very good but I believe that Bristol can provide more courses such as Business and Nursing. The Student Union is really involved in being the voice for students. The campus is a mix of old and new however a medical school will be nice. Careers service are exceptionally good and provide a lot of help for future prospects.

The university campus is wonderful as it is in the city centre and therefore extremely convenient to get to but also surrounded by a variety of shops and places to eat. The course I take has been well organised so far, and I look forward to seeing how it continues.

Good facilities and improvements are being made where needed. The staff are very supportive and try to help as best they can.

This university has a brilliant career services department that will ensure the students are up-to-date with current job vacancy and provide excellent service to scrutinise all the career-related matters. However, I would have to admit that I gain a stressful and depressing life because of the poor course structure and only a small amount of the academic staffs are ready to help you with your study and any mental issues faced. I don't know whether its because I am an international student here, so they treat me like this, I seriously have no idea. Including the international office, they are totally useless I would say, not helping me to settle down here. As a result, I am currently suffering here, its no joke, seriously. I am very dissappointed with their treatment despite paying double home-student fees.

Awesome location, epic nightlife. Easy to get out and into the trails and the countryside, and the food is hard to beat too. Teaching is incredible.

My university has an extremely high standard of teaching and is well equipped for research. However they need to invest more in mental health for students.

The course I'm doing now (Law) can be too demanding at times. We have 5 modules, whereas other top universities have fewer modules than we do. This tends to create a lot of stress and I don't understand why we need so many modules. The student union is really supportive and it's good. The careers service is also very good at what they do and I personally use this service a lot and it was very helpful.

Cool beans, great uni. I've had a great time so far. Lectures are great, people are great. The uni really cares about us students. Student union is alright I guess, only hear from them when it's election time. Sports facilities are alright I guess. Wish there was more merchandise to purchase. Tons of sports and clubs available. City is beautiful, just don't live down the hill. Walking up to lecture at 9am is a PITA. Overall, 8/8 gr8 m8
