Re: Is Bath any good?It's supposed to be a top uni. I don't know what its like to study there, but from what I've seen of it looks like a S***hole! It's all 60's lumps of concrete. It was originally built as some sort of technical college so I guess that explains it! The TV show "Campus" was set there apparently.
The City of Bath, however is beautiful! -

And no, it wasn't built as a technical college. The universities history is as a technical college, but the campus at Claverton Down was only built when the idea of Bath having a university was considered.
And yes the city is amazing. -

Re: Is Bath any good?No its not an ex-polytechnic. Ex-poly's are the ones that received uni status in 1992 like Greenwich, Brighton, Huddersfield etc. Bath received uni status in the 1960's. It did used to be a technical college before this though, same goes for Loughborough uni.(Original post by whattheheck)

Re: Is Bath any good?Hi, please, would it be okay if I inboxed you some questions about Bath?(Original post by Annie038)
Depends on what subject you're wanting to do - are you looking at the University of Bath or Bath Spa University?
I've lived in Bath all my life, so feel free to ask questions about the city itself

Re: Is Bath any good?And OP, I don't know what course you're thinking of but generally it's really good for pretty much everything. For example maths, it's #5 in the country, everyone got A*AA and still finds the course a challenge.
Socially, it's awesome - really friendly, very metropolitan and not pretentious (sure you get the Jack Wills and rugby brigade, but they're still all pretty nice!) and a decent nightlife. I'd recommend it to anyone.Last edited by Penguinsaysquack; 14-02-2012 at 13:00. -
