Hey guys, it seems some of you are deciding whether to choose bath, and since im bored of revision, I can give some insight of whats life is like for 1st and 2nd (Im currently 2nd year).
So basically, first year is a catch up course for everyone to get to the same standard and doesnt count towards the degree, and also meant the uni provides accommodation for you. If you get a room on campus, its fantastic, however town is 20-30mins away. if you are unfortunate to live in town first year, this thoroughly prepares you the pain you go through the second year. Also second year is when you starts working as it does count.
the teaching staff is amazing, and very approachable, however dont expect it to be like school. you never get homework, however you do get workshops and labs (dont count towards final marks) and assessment (which do).
Im pretty sure i didnt cover anything but send me a message if you want to know more about bath. and I would also like to point out, that bath's crime rate is ridiculously low, unlike london...
