Student review [#97654] for Electrical and Electronics Engineering
at University of Bath

The city of Bath itself is really attractive with its Georgian architecture. I was able to find an apartment in The Circus, the round near The Royal Crescent and enjoyed my time living there. These are nice pubs, night-life, shopping including second hand, and an arty, trendy historical atmosphere. If you have a car, or road bike the surrounding countryside is very pleasant too with good pubs and beautiful scenery. I chose the University of Bath above all for the location.

The university itself is situated on top of a hill just outside the City of Bath. You can see the city lights. There are buses that go up the hill regularly. You can usually catch a lift. I think I only walked up a couple of times. There is accommodation on campus that is cheap. I stayed in campus accommodation in my first and final 4th year.

The standard of education was fine when I was there. I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Some of the lecturers looked like they were simply reading notes from years ago but others were inspired and inspiring. There were lots of labs and research going on so the final year thesis was practical and motivating.

There are girls in the European studies department but in others there are not that many around. There is Bath Spa University not so far away which has a superfluity of ladies. The pump rooms and the area around the weir has great cafes for tea. The cathedral is special. The atmosphere is the selling point. After graduating I went to Edinburgh University again for the Georgian architecture, I like it that much!
