University of Bath firmers 2016

Yup, had one since last December! masters in engineering

ah that explains it

As in that's what you've applied for or they've told you?

You haven't received yours yet? Where did you apply for, I heard that almost all rooms have been already allocated.

Hi, the bus pass is £175 per year? I looked up FirstBath bus service and they offer an unlimited monthly pass for £46. This is for Bath inner zone, as I am not sure if we would need the outer zone which is £56 a month. Any idea about bus routes and times?

What have you applied for?
BSc Psychology (with placement)

Where are you from?
I'm from the Maldives

Are you studying at the moment?
I had finished my A'levels last year and took a gap year

What accommodation(s) are you interested in?
Not exactly sure what's a best fit for me. I'm a bit introverted but I also want to make the best out of my university years

I was wondering how is the diversity in the university? I have read that Bath city is one of the lesser diverse cities in the UK

No. Norwood and Westwood are also fine.


But fancy needing an En-Suite and a flatscreen TV at university... It's the epitome of antisocial behaviour.

(You posted this a while ago but just saw it)

I'm and international student applying for the same course!

What have you applied for?
Psychology bsc with placement

Where are you from?
Dubai, UAE

What are you studying at the moment?
A-Levels in psychology, literature in English, biology

What accommodation(s) are you interested:
Marlborough or Solsbury, or the quads

Wow, really well done as I heard that getting onto the placement course for psychology is really competitive

Hey, thanks a lot! What are you going to study?

Are we meant to have received emails from Bath? I'm starting to think they accepted me by accident

Has anyone (conditional offer or international student) been allocated a room at marl/sols or the quads?

I'm afraid to say that I'm a Bath student and I had no idea that Bath had inner and outer zones for buses but in my head I can kind of picture which routes are outer ones that kind of go up Bristol Road and stuff.

There are two main bus services in Bath, one is First as you have seen and the other one is Wessex. Wessex sell discounted passes at the start of the year (mine was £200 I think) which gets you unlimited travel on any bus that you'll realistically need, although it won't get you on First buses (naturally ) if you live in John Wood I don't think it matters hugely which company you go with. If you're going to live on Campus instead (or you get upgraded to campus after results day, which is what happened to me from John Wood) then you really don't need a pass unless you know you're going to be in and out very frequently.

It doesn't sound like £46 per month is a better deal than £175 per year though

I'm into Bath for Computer Science with Placement year, anyone else here on the same course? Ended up getting A*A*AA in Physics, Maths, Further Maths and Computing respectively.
