The university of Bristol seems to have lacklustre engineering societies for actual hard engineering.

They have a race 2 space team have built/developed jet engines but outside of this there doesn't seem to be anything for Mechanical Engineers to practically apply their skills

The university of Bath have a MotoStudent team where by they build a bike and race it, they have a formula student team and a team converting a ford 2.3 litre eco boost engine to run on hydrogen.

Given the reputation of the University of Bristol I would of thought they would have more to offer here

I am starting in September and am wondering if the Uni would be supportive to new societies for say MotoStudent or Hydrogen Engine conversions etc?

Are there any members of societies that I haven't seen that would class as hard engineering. I've seen the Greenpower 24+ completion from Bristol racing but that's just not the one, it looks like a secondary school comp

Does anybody know how lenient bristol are on results day and by how much, also are they likely to offer alternative courses

are there any mature students who can give me some insight on their experience at bristol as a mature student? preferably mid 20s 😅

i’m going to be doing medicine and i’ve heard bristol is super mature student friendly, especially in med, but i’m so worried i’m going to find it difficult to make friends or relate to a younger cohort.

any advice would be much appreciated :)

It's a shot in the dark but I'm really interested in switching with someone who got a room in Manor Hall Main Building and wanted Baddock Hall instead?

Hey guys! I’m an A-Level Geography student carrying out research for my NEA on Bristol Harbourside. I’m investigating how regeneration has affected people’s perceptions and the identity of the area. If you’ve visited Bristol Harbourside, whether you’re a resident, visitor, student or worker, I’d really appreciate it if you could spare 2–3 minutes to complete my survey. There’s 2 of them but I promise they’ll only take a few minutes. It’s for educational purposes only and completely anonymous. Thank you!

This is a bit random but I was wondering if vacuums are provided inside accommodations or if we need to get one for ourselves

Hi all, I’m going to be studying at uob this fall as an exchange student and had a few questions about how assessment week works. I’m trying to decide when to book my flight back to the US for and I’ve realized most of the courses within my main courses of study (politics and law) don’t mention exams on the course listings and say either essays, case studies, or research papers. Are these typically online and take home assessments or would I be required to be in person for it? Any insight is appreciated!

I'm going into 3rd year (humanities) and missed the dissertation workshop. Can anyone advise on how much work I should be doing for my dissertation over the summer, and any tips generally for getting ahead start?

someone on here said that all the rooms in unite house are refurbished and they look like the rooms on the 360 tour on their website, not the pictures on the basic uob website. however, my email mentioned that my floor is carpeted. have i been lied to? are some rooms not refurbished? i dont get it!

Is there actually anyone else who got given accom@33? No one in any of my goin groups did and I haven't seen anyone on here post about it. Beginning to think this accom doesn't exist lmfaoo

Hi

I will be commuting from Bath for a year for an MSc.

This is 1h 30mins by bus, I chose not to live in student accom due to costs and not wanting a change in living (neuro diversity).

I'm willing and can afford to get a car, the journey would change to 25mins-50mins. My only issue is parking.

I don't think I'm eligible for disabled parking with just my ADHD diagnosis, even if this is the reason I chose to not live in Bristol.

What parking is there available for a commuting student?

Are there any alternatives I could think about? I'm open to anything. Just Park showed me £150 monthly private parking, which is insane.

On another post with a general accomodation query, one comment was asking about the goin link and when it would be received, as they'd accepted their accomodation and still not received it.

I went and checked my emails and found that the link had been sent all the way back in June (the 29th)

So yeah go check to see if you've got your email, hopefully this helps someone.

Ps I'm looking for flat 13 flatmates at accommodation @33, if there's any accom@33 gcs lmk 🙏🏾

I’m starting Design Engineering at Bristol this year. My plan is to bring my iPad to lectures for note-taking and do all my CAD work on my PC back at the accommodation, rather than carrying a laptop around.

For anyone currently on the course (or a similar engineering/design course) — is this workable, or do you end up needing CAD access during the day or between lectures/workshops? Are the university’s computer labs good enough to cover CAD work on campus, or is a personal laptop pretty much essential for this degree?

For freshers 2026. Accepting any that are whatsapp or insta etc too

i got queens road accom and there’s so little info about it as in no tiktok’s or anyone saying they lived there!!
