Hi @Anonymous#1,

Thanks for your questions about life on campus at UWE Bristol! 🙂 Are you staying on our Frenchay Campus?

1.

Yes! We offer a printing service which is free to print in Black and White. Colour printing is chargeable through your student printing account which you would be set up with on arrival.

2.

We have lots of events and activities to get involved with both on and off campus. On campus we have a Students Union' which hosts different events throughout each week and a Centre for Music and Centre for Sport facilities. In terms of Bristol, there's always something going on in the City from music / food events to taking a walk through our green spaces or enjoying some of the museums / culture. This link Discover Bristol - Life | UWE Bristol has a guide to 60 free things to do in Bristol which is great for students!

3.

The laundry machines on campus are provided by circuit laundry which you pay for via an app. This page has some further useful information for you Student Life Hub :: UWE.

4.

For societies on campus, you will pay a societies fee of £2.50 as mentioned here Societies and then any costs will be subject to which society it is you're looking to join! We have a very large list of societies so you can choose ones which suit you best.

I've included the links just in case you needed further information mainly for costs, but I hope this was helpful 🙂

Thank you,

Courtney

Hi @Anonymous#1,

No problem at all, I'm glad I could help! Class size would depend on what course it is you would be taking. Which course have you applied for?

Thank you,

Courtney

hi! could i also know the general class size?

on my course (Law LLB), the lectures accommodate the entire year group for the course (mine was about 200 this year) & smaller groups for seminars (around 30 students in a class group).

on class sizes, there are a few key points to note:

1.

your classes & lectures will never be fully attended, you will not need to worry about finding a seat etc. my seminar group, for example, had around 20/30 attending in January, and this diminished as the end of the year got closer.

2.

lectures can actually 'over-subscribed'; they may be held in a space where there are up to 15% fewer seats than there are students with the lecture time-tabled. this was the case for my Criminal Law lecture this year, and the lecture hall was still never full.

3.

if your course has optional modules, class sizes will change. if 125/200 students on your course pick a certain module, the lectures for that module will only need to accommodate 125, rather than the 200 on the entire course.

I hope I've explained everything in a way that makes sense, feel free to reply with any further questions :smile:
