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: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Living in your own house by yourself allows you to develop several important skills such as: independence, communication skills
Personal comments:
In my case,I didnt receive any help to find my house,I had to work it out by myself.

Bath is a very nice city where you can find a very large community of students. My favourite place to go out in bath is a pub called The Hustmann which is located close the abbey. I really like go there every Wednesday when the karaoke display takes place.

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.
