Having attended an open day and informal interview i was pleased with the way people were generally concerned for your welfare and academic skills. Teamed with various other authorities and establishments there really is something for everyone here and being a stone throw away from the town centre it seems in the perfect location to. Amenities here are second to none as i got a tour of the computer suite and library. Probably one of the best colleges around. Go learn, party people!

Im sorry to rubbish all the other courses but there really are better places to go! (However, i believe the Art College it good but then again I don't think it's part of the uni) However, if you are going to university just to have fun this is the place to do it! The beach is 7 miles of golden sand, the nightlife is really good and caters for all tastes so whether you're in to hip-hop, r'n'b, pop, heavy metal... whatever, you'll be happy in Bournemouth. The town is very pretty, the array of shops isn't vast but it's enough. It has been rated by the gaurdian as the no.1 new university, and I certainly think it lives up to that reputation by virtue of its media and tourism courses. The animation course is said to be the no.1 in UK. The Multimedia journalism course is also counted among the top 4 or 5 media courses in the country. The infrastructure is truly hot here, with my classroom having an imac on every table. Video link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_Orx_w-8mjk

This is why any establishment that attracts these boring toffs in Exeter is worth avoiding. Of course there are proper people that go there as well but they're getting harder to find by the year.

I enjoyed the student experience, going to the Lemmy, getting tanked up before heading into town for the nightclubs, attending the uni's cinema society screenings of obscure films. I played in several bands at such events as the Safer Sex Ball, and made loads of friends in the Halls of residence as well as on my course. I found the course to be challenging and rewarding, and most of the staff to be very helpful. The campus is really stunning, with excellent green spaces ideal for picnics and parties. I was disappointed with the conveyor belt attitude that the uni seemed to have towards students, and the way that education was treated as a business, but then I guess that's the way things are going these days.
I did a PGCE course here, and found St Lukes to be a reasonable place to study. The library was…read morewell-stocked and the staff were helpful; the lecturers were inspirational and knowledgeable. The grounds are very picturesque, with buildings that are reminiscent of Cambridge, and the plants are well tended. I enjoyed studying here, and would recommend it to anyone thinking of taking a PGCE. They also teach sports science on this campus, and it is adjacent to the Peninsula Medical school, which makes the mix of students quite interesting and thankfully not limited to just a few similar subjects.

The Bristol Uni buildings are located all around the centre of the city, and most are very old and pretty. The university is pretty large, with around 13000 students, and they, along with their UWE counterparts, mean that the city is buzzing with life. The university does pretty well for itself; it's high in the league table, and draws a very Clifton-esque student population every year.
Let's get straight to the point - I wish I'd gone to this university. No offence to Cardiff where I…read moredid choose to study, but Bristol is clearly better. Up there in the heady heights of the league tables with Oxford and Cambridge, Bristol Uni is an old-skool red brick institution with some of the most prestigious medical courses, English and history degrees in the world. It looks all towering and cool at the top of park street and has educated comedy genii such as David Walliams, Matt Lucas, Chris Morris, Simon Pegg and errr Lembit Olpik, plus the famed feminist author Angela Carter (I'm bowing down to her as I write this). Stunning architecture and a past that stems back to 1876 - this is the educational and philosophical pulse of Bristol in all its glory.
