The University of Bristol
A short 20 minute drive on the M32 took us into the heart of Bristol and to Bristol University’s Careers Centre. Similar to Cardiff University the day before, Bristol traditionally haven’t had a huge placements focus but we aim to have a decent presence there this year to focus on students looking to do summer internships and maybe persuade a few more to undertake the year long experience!
Whereas Ali had been on an open day at Bristol, I had never actually been to the city so we had a little walk around afterwards and as you can see I bullied Ali into posing in front of the union! Yeah, I think he looks stupid too…
The University of Bristol rates as follows:
Weather – 4 / 10 – bizarre sunshine mixed with spells of heavy rain!
Greenery – 3 / 10 – a city university so not huge amounts of grass
Beer – 8 / 10 – We managed to try out the taps in Bristol with a quick Coors light in a wetherspoons whilst we ‘waitied for the rain to stop’.
Bird watching– 8 / 10 – not a huge amount of students but some top standards
The Pot Noodle test – 2 / 10 – the union shop was closed but we have been reliably informed that it’s around £1.20
The University of Bristol’s overall rating = 25/50
