Bristol- Unfriendly?!

Hey,

I'm seriously considering Bristol as my first choice of Uni for 2006. :smile:

However, I've heard from several different people that they found Bristol students were unfriendly and that put them off going there.

I can't understand how there could be much truth to this, but just thought I'd ask what people's opinions are.

Thanks

Obviously you'll get some ********s everywhere, but I'd say there's no more than the normal amount at Bristol at all. Don't let them put you off.

Are you expecting to get an unbiased opinion on this by asking Bristol students :p:

?! Yes, we are a horribly unfriendly lot!

It's the same as any other uni i'd have thought, they take a whole spectrum of people...you get some nice ones and some nasty ones...perhaps the people you've heard this from just met the wrong ones! Can't say i've ever noticed it to be an unfriendly place! :smile:

Well I'll be on your course (L100 right?)- and I'm in the same mind-frame.

Perhaps the view was only due to Open Day experiences where some people, including me, were extreeemmmllyyy tired- so appeared unfriendly.

Maybe it varies with Halls of residences.. or maybe the people I've talked to were just talking crap.

Exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm really not sure why I even posted- as people from all round the country goto Bristol.. just like every other Uni.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Bristol was voted the 'smiliest' place in the country...

But then again, that could've been University propaganda! :tongue:

I hate everyone in bristol.

No really. We're all tossers.

Hmmm, I don't think you're going to find us saying that we're unfriendly somehow :smile:

We're all lovely friendly people really.

In fact there's only person I've met who I don't like, out of some 200 odd so I'm sure we can't be too bad as a student body.

If anyone has heard Bristol is an unfriendly place, it's mostly based on Harry... Sulking around the HC aisle of the A.S.S Library and hurling abuse down on the peasants from his tower whilst watching copiuous amounts of films.

And yes, i love you too Harry
