Student Reviews for University of Bristol
- Student satisfaction:
- 4.4 (based on 618 student reviews)
“Amazing university, but be warned that you have to work very hard! I studied for a year here and I learned a wealth of new ideas and made friends that I expect to keep for life. I found the vast majority of students and lecturers to be kind and approachable. This is important especially in the case of the lecturers because we all have questions from time to time.”
“Some of the facilities are not as new and up to date as one would hope for, the computers provided are usually slow and there aren’t really a lot of study spaces where you can really work in solitude.”
