Brilliant university. Variety of things to do on the campus. Nightlife is good. Town is nice and it is located near to Bristol if you want to go to a big city. Downside is that peers can be quite competitive and unhelpful during projects.

Great university with lots of academic and personal support. Environment is great and people very friendly. Campus small so becomes home quickly.

Great campus, but unreasonably expensive, good and strong course (Civil Eng) with some amazing teachers but also some not so great. Careers/placement team was efficient and helpful. Exceptional sport facilities. Generally another money making machine that gets more than what gives...

Campus is clean an refreshing with great combination of new modern buildings and wildlife. Lecture theatres are comfy and easy to take notes on content. Online learning platform is easy to navigate and very useful. Shops and restaurants on campus are convenient and not overpriced. Free sports pass is very useful and can use it to use swimming pool for free and book various courts in the sports training village complex. Transport to city runs 24 hours from the campus and is generally reliable and very well priced.

Great academic uni but struggles with its size - growing too fast with lack of infrastructure growth! Hopefully things will change with the new VC!

I study biology, and on the whole, it’s been a good experience. I took a placement year which I loved, but i was let down in my final year when I didn’t get the research project I wanted and struggled to understand it as I wasn’t as excited by the work. The university is really great at looking out for the mental health of students.

I'm a first year student studying biomedical science. The facilities at Bath are great, especially the sports facilities and amount of clubs and societies available to join. However lecture slides and specification are sometimes vague if not nonexistent which makes revising and reviewing topics very difficult. Perhaps upload a set of notes or spec points to cover if lecturers don't want to upload their PowerPoints or record themselves. Nonetheless a great university.

The facilities on the campus are excellent, and it has everything you could need; pubs, clubs, restaurants, grocery stores, sports facilities - including an excellent (but expensive) gym -, etc. All courses are challenging, but equally rewarding. The University has an excellent reputation and brilliant links to several companies and employers, which will put in you in good stead after graduating.

Everything you could need is on campus: a grocery shop, pubs, restaurants, canteens, sports facilities, etc. The sports fascities in particular are fantastic! All courses are challenging, but equally rewarding. If you want to be pushed and achieve your maximum potential, Bath is a good place to go.

Great uni full of top level academic lecturers. In depth knowledge presented in clear and enjoyable ways for learning and always plenty of help when needed. Sports facilities are top of the range and the quality of sports teams are really really good. Accommodation is expensive but very clean and nice. The only massive negative is the quality and cost of the food! Around £6 for a skimpy piece of pork and chips. Then have to pay 50p extra if you want a small sachet of sauce

The university and the city have a lot of pros. It has amazing sports facilities and sports team are some of the best in the country. The SU clubs is lit and a great night out. The academic studies is great the lecturers are grand. The cons are the uni is expensive the food and parking is spenny. As well living off campus is expensive and so is the bus season tickets and parking permits

Great overall student experience and incredible sporting teams, although living in bath can be quite expensive. Beautiful city with many great places to eat and do other activities

Everything is great! It's just that everything is slightly pricier which makes student life less comfortable whereas in other units, most stuff are being subsidized. It would definitely be great to see more subsidized for students here at Bath

Very good university - esteemed researchers and lecturers. A lively vibe on campus always a buzz.

Campus is very nice and modern, with local restaurants and cafes, also has a store inside. Biochemistry course is also quite nice, but the lectures could be better structured

The chemical engineering department offers very good facilities and student guidance. Overall university facilities, such as study spaces and restaurants, are good, however, they need to increase.

The campus is beautiful, especially the lake, although some buildings are a bit out dated. However, the sports training village and the newer east side of campus has great facilities and I would highly recommend it.

Bath is a very good university, with a wide range of facilities available for students. I feel like my course specifically has really taken steps to diversify the curriculum and make it more inclusive and consequently enrich the education that I am receiving there.

Campus feels safe and the SU are really active in their roles. The careers service are really useful, however they are sometimes really busy so hard to get a meeting.

University provides good quality academics, with good quality resources. Campus as a whole is overcrowded, the buses are rubbish, the gym is too busy, and the su is underfunded

The campus is very nice. Cost of living is very hight. Student nights at the SU are a lot of fun but very busy.

The university's student union has something for everyone; sports clubs, societies and language lessons to name a few. Each sport society has a committee that is peer-elected to represent their members and strives to improve the experience for all. The SU also organises loads of careers fairs that are available to both second year students ahead of their year in industry and final year students as they are graduating. The support offered to these students during a crucial part of their life is fantastic! The library is 5 floors but often it is hard to get a seat but the university is working hard to amend this by announcing study spaces in other parts of the university.

The facilities are great, especially the university gym. The library is very accessible and communal and there is also a second library in town for second and third years off campus. Lectures are well organised and many lectures are available online which helps students keep up during busier periods. My course would have been better if there were more modules updated to relate more to the real world.

Corrupt university board, but SU works hard to keep the university great and the lecturers are (on average) amazing!
