SB tends to attract those sorts - not just private schools but also from grammar schools etc - but this isnt reflective of UoB's general student population which is much more mainstream and 'average' student - promise!

If you want a less 'twee' student experience than somewhere like Wills etc then go for Hawthorns, St Michaels Hill, or better still one of the commercial student housing set ups in the centre of town. SB is a bit isolated, but from any of the city centre places you are within minutes of shops, pubs, clubs, theatres and the harbour area etc - and they are recently built, have better facilities and will have the essentials like ensuites and decent heating. Recommended.

Hey everyone :smile:

I'm slightly different to all of you that have posted as I'll be applying to Bristol for my Master's degree starting 2016 :smile:

Name: Leah
Age: 20

Course applying for: MSc Social and Cultural Theory

:smile:

Hi Leah, what are you hoping to do post MSc? The course content looks quite abstract, discursive. Do you want to write, teach or something else?

That was equal parts awkward, weird and funny. Didn't realise there were so many students from London boarding schools

I thought the boarding school thing was a joke first. Like they were just making them up lol but then I searched one 😂. Are you guys planning on getting accommodation in Stoke Bishop?

Anyone for the offer holders' day on February 3rd? (Neuroscience)

I've got an offer for neuroscience was the fastest offer I got. I literally sent my application on the last hour of the deadline and got my offer two days later. I'm not sure if a very early offer is a good thing or whether neuroscience isn't a very competitive course?

Don't worry. In the same boat, applied 13th Oct with AAAA at AS. Bristol tend to take their time with offers/rejections.

Applied for mechanical engineering and didn't get an offer but have given me the chance to be considered for civil engineering, engineering mathematics or electrical and electronic engineering, does anyone know/have any experience of how likely they would be to give me an offer for any of these after not giving me one for mechanical engineering?

Your chances of getting an offer for one of these courses is very high if you write a good new personal statement related to the new course you'd apply for. They wouldn't have offered you an alternative course if they thought you weren't good enough.
Both me and a friend of mine were in a similar situation when applying to UCL, we both got offers for the alternative courses they gave us.

Hey, my friend applied for mechanical engineering last year. He's at Bristol studying it now and loves it but he applied in September and didn't hear back until April so don't worry!

I'm still waiting for a reply for Law LLB. Has anyone emailed the university to inquire where they are with your application etc. I'm so tempted but I'm worried I would come across rude/ impatient

Thanks :smile:

Does anyone know if it's worth going to a visit day after you get your offer to meet members of staff in your department and ask about the course? Is it better than an open day?

I applied for the Vice Chancellor's scholarship as well! Did you get a letter or email letting you know that they've received your application? I posted mine and I haven't heard anything so just a bit concerned if they haven't gotten it or something haha

I got an offer on the 15th Jan! I think they started replying to a load of offers on the Oxbridge deadline, but maybe didn't get round to all of them, then did the same for the national deadline. They're probably just getting around to your applications, so don't worry!
