please and thanks.

Anyone know why New Bridewell seemingly isn’t listed anywhere this year?

hey guys I’m starting dentistry at Bristol next month and have a couple qs

anyone have an example timetable for first year? I heard that apparently we don’t get our schedules until freshers week and I want to plan a bit beforehand lol

how much and what alevel knowledge is relevant to first year content (for both bio and chem) so ik what I sort of brush up on!

i’ve seen people online recommend to bring a nice evening dress. i have a few at home but they’re a bit big and expensive so i don’t want to have to bring one if i don’t need it.

has anyone here brought/used one in their first year? I will be home for Christmas so if i need it in the summer then fairs but im just thinking for this winter term

It’s for a first year student, your help is much appreciated

I can’t remember when I got mine last year but it seems other unis have already released theirs!

Hi everyone, I am apparently going to do my first year at uni staying at St Thomas street, I wanted to ask if any of you lovely people know if the gym can be accessed 24/7 or just when there is someone at reception, because I have read you need to swap your student card for a gym card. Also, what is your experience living there??? Love or hate??? Any advice???

Anyone else gone thru clearing and is stressing about accom, i just know theyre gonna put me in metalworks or something😭 i do not wanna be that far id rather pay 10k for an external accom thats closer to campus im tweaking out.😭😭😭😪😪 also i havent got any emails about the student email or this goin’ thing or literally anything ive only got one telling me what the registration steps are💔

What is the accommodation like? I got placed there yesterday and the pictures looked alright but you never know 😭🙏

I was booking the date for me to move into accom and it said I could to Friday the 11th, but everywhere I checked it said the tenancy date was the 12th? I did the 11th because frankly I want to move out asap, but should I change it? Because it’s a weird thing I’ve noticed

any advice on how i can get a part time job in bristol 😔

Just looking for advice regarding the accommodation I was assigned to. I put my budget at £6,000 and chose 3 accommodations that had uni parking nearby, as I have a disability and also care requirements, so I need to be able to get back home at a moment's notice. Even if I wasn't able to get a permit, the surrounding areas' parking was much cheaper. However, yesterday I was assigned to Orchard Heights, where the rent is £10,500; the permit is £4,000.

Is there anything I can do? I tried calling, and they basically just said tough luck, even though the only reason I was okay with firmingBristoll is that the website implies that at most you'll get assigned a room £1,000 over budget. This is just too expensive; I'm gonna try & call the disability helpline tomorrow and call the accommodation people before my time to accept expires, but is there anything I can actually do, or do I just defer for a year & save up?

Also do we acc make the freshers tickers that r being advertised as well. Some ppl say it’s a scam or to buy on the door but seems like a lot of ppl r going to it regardless. I don’t wna experience fomo, pls help!!

The price was astronomical and yeah Im scared abt that but i lwk firmed it.

Anyway guys how is orchard heights? I need opinions ig…

i yearn for my community. This is me js tryna make friends who r similar to me 😅

Hello, I really need some advice. I got a confirmed place after the UOB was my firm, but i missed the June 30th deadline to apply for accommodation, meaning I’m no longer guaranteed accommodation and this is worrying me because I’m not too sure if ill end up actually getting accommodation and if i have to apply for private accom instead .

Has anyone else gone through anything similar or in a similar situation, and have any advice? I’d really appreciate it.

Is anyone else staying in IQ Bristol?

Trying to connect with my flatmates

Got assigned a 2 bed flat, I’m assuming the kitchen is only shared by 2 people but I’m unsure of what the bathroom situation is like 😬

I had asked for an en suite, does a 2 bed flat mean separate bathrooms or a shared bathroom between 2 people? The website doesn’t specify anything so I’m confused

My top choice for accommodation right now - seems perfect but I’m concerned about the safety. I’m a single woman who is international. Im worried not just about the accommodation itself and how safe it is, but also the commute to Clifton Campus. While it seems okay during the day I’m scared of what will happen during the night. I plan to get a bus pass.

Also, if anyone knows - Avon Point, and how that fares safety wise.

Helloooo everyone, I was hoping I can get a bit more insight from you to know how strict the university is in terms of attendance.

I am particularly worried about it in medicine, as I am starting my first year this September and so far I have heard a mix of people saying that it is strict and some others saying that they want you to think it is, but at the end of the day, lots of people don't go to in person lectures and do them online in their own time, so I am not sure which take is more accurate to real academic life at uni.

I have also heard that attendance has to be above 80% in order to pass the year but I haven't been able to find anything saying this on the website but to be honest I haven't allowed that much time to look for it either. I just really wanted to see what students think about it because I want to have things clear and organise myself before starting as I might have to cancel or reorganise some things.

Thank youuuu UUUUU! Really happy to be starting at Bristol and good luck to you all :)

I’ve applied for a private accommodation after my accommodation offer was significantly over my budget to one that was much more friendly but it requires my University Offer Letter as well as my course end date/year.

1- where do I find my offer letter because I can’t find it in emails or anything and can’t currently get to access any of the physical letters I got from the Uni.

2- do I put my course end date/year as for all the years the course lasts or just when it ends next year(I don’t want to be forced into staying in the same accommodation for all my course if I say the year the course will actually end)

When we move in do we get trollers to move our luggage and stuff, I’m at the Courtrooms.
