University of Bath

University of Bath, Claverton Down, BA2 7AY Bath, United Kingdom
3.89 / 5 based on 114 reviews.
Description:
Bath is one of the smaller universities in Britain, supporting a hard-working, hard-playing community. There is a predominant sense of participation across campus - social functions are usually sell-out affairs; music, drama and the arts are all flourishing; and there is a justifiably proud record of achievement in sport.

Type of housing: university accomodation complex
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: university accomodation complex
Why? You get to meet a lot of other exchange students, who are in the same situation as you are in.
Personal comments:
The accomodation is very nice, clean but expensive. But that is the UK! I also had to pay extra for internet connection, washing mashine. And the heating wasn't always on.

The only negative aspect that I have found regarding academic life is the fact that the university doesnt provide you any feedback after doing either your exams or your essays.You only know your final marks.

Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
