University of Bristol is a prestigious institution, and you will feel that in contact hours, the intelligence of your peers, the expectations of your professors. What you might not expect is the bustling and bright social life, with over 350 societies to chose from, an active and engaged Student Union, and a beautiful city, I feel every student can get a satisfying work/life balance at UOB. The institution itself goes out of its way to provide services and events to encourage this, aswell as to support your academics and future. You truly get the feel here that the University and its employees (from lecturers, professors, uni gym coaches, society leaders, the Student Union) care about you more than just in your ability to get a grade. I could not really recommend choosing Bristol enough.
