Choose Bristol despite the Pandemic

Hostel

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.

My Experience at Bristol

Hostel

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.

The University of Bristol is a top-10 UK university, and has established itself as an institution of research and training excellence. It is the fourth most targeted university by top UK employers. The MSc Public Health course offers an impressive set of modules which would help me work toward becoming a well rounded, responsible public health practitioner.Bristol is largely vibrant, green and a young city, which was another factor which influenced my decision to choose the university.

I had an interesting experience overall.

Hostel

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.

University of Bristol Review

Hostel

Chantry Court is a Unite Students property situated right in the city centre. The harbour is right opposite to us so you get an amazing view. Apart from that the infrastructure is decent and clean, staff is helpful as well

I am a biotech student and wanted to streamline my field towards neuroscience. This course seemed to be the correct fit for my future endeavors.
