r/UOB

I’m from London, would be nice to know more Londoners who are going to UOB. Feel free to reach out

Going to UOB, was wondering what the LGBTQIA+ life is like at UOB but also at Bristol overall. Is there a strong queer presence? e.g. people, clubs, pubs etc.

Hey guys I got my think big rejection email last night and I am honestly a bit confused because my think big application was much higher quality than my Bath international scholarship application but I still got the bath scholarship. Can you please let me know what think big is assessed on?

Hi I just paid my deposit and they didn’t send me a confirmation email or anything, does anyone how long that will take ? Until they send one or my deposit is confirmed 100%?

Anyone received any emails today?

hi guys i was wondering if there are still many ppl waiting for the outcome. I got no email yet and its making me so nervous!!!!!
and congrats to everyone who got it!!!👏

Curious what people here actually use AI for day-to-day — essays, summarising, flashcards, coding? And does anyone pay for the Pro versions, or just stick with free?

Hi everyone, for those who applied for Think Big for postgrad students, did you receive any updates? Thanks a lot!

This might sound random but confession pages always felt strangely one-sided to me.

Someone anonymously posts about a person, everyone in the comments turns into detectives for a while, and then the post disappears into the void.

But I keep wondering how many “almost” stories probably exist at Bristol where both people liked each other and neither ever found out because nobody wanted to make the first move 👀

Am I overthinking this or does this genuinely happen way more than people admit?

just got the 6500 scholarship few minutes ago guyssss. tbh kinda disappointed but im still grateful as i have something.

lmk if how you guys doing !!

did anyone get their confirmation?

Hi all,
I’m an international student deciding between two Master's offers. My main goal is to secure a job and stay in the UK after graduation. I have zero full-time corporate experience (6 months part-time internship in my country), but a strong academic background in Finance.

1. Uni of Bristol (MSc Business Analytics)
   • Pros: Better ranking and prestige.
   • Cons: Only a £6,500 Think Big scholarship. It's over my budget. I'd have to work a part-time survival job.

2. Uni of Southampton (MSc Business Analytics & Finance)
   • Pros: £11,000 scholarship. Fits my budget perfectly. The "Finance" module also aligns well with my background. The syllabus offers an External Summer Project (idk if it would be a real plus point for my CV)
   • Cons: Lower ranking and less prestige compared to Bristol.

For a fresh grad with no experience, does Bristol's higher prestige actually make it easier to land a job in the UK compared to Southampton? What should i choose?

Can anyone share the experience regarding student life, chances afer grad, actual living cost in both? Which option provides better value pls?

Thanks for any honest advice!

Who has any idea when think big scholarship would be out? And what time do they often release the results

I got an offer for a standard studio in orchard heights. There are no photos of the studio on the uni website. Anyone staying here who can help? How is this accommodation ?

Hiya, I have Bristol down as my insurance and I know that means I'm not guaranteed uni accomodation, how likely is it that I would actually get a room even though it's not guaranteed? Did anyone get into Bristol after putting them as their insurance and live in uni owned halls in 1st year? Id rather avoid going private if possible...

I'll be an undergraduate at bristol for law in September, and just wanted to ask what the best accommodation for me would be? I'm a non-drinker, female, and introverted so would prefer quieter accommodation, but also would like to make friends and have social nights out/ events but just without alcohol/ clubbing/ parties.

My current top three in this order are:

1. Acommodation at 33
2. Winkworth House
3. Maybe Unite House, Goldney Hall, or Clifton Hill House? Though I’m not really sure. It would be nice to have a music practice room but I believe I can book practice rooms that aren’t in accom? Correct me if I’m wrong

It would be really helpful to hear any reviews other people have of these choices! My main priority is having a quieter and less party accom

Prolly should've put this before applying. But how is manors hall? Im lowkey worried as it was one of the cheapest options but yeah. Also int student here

Hey everyone!

I’ll be starting my LLB at the University of Bristol this September and thought I’d make a post to connect with other first years before term starts.

Would be great to meet people who are also joining Bristol this year, especially anyone doing Law, staying in uni accommodation, or just looking to make friends before moving in 😀

I’m currently looking at accommodations like Manor Hall / University Halls as well.

Feel free to reply here or DM me! 🙌

I’m planning on joining University of Bristol in the Sep intake for Masters in Economics. Anyone with suggestions regarding the University, faculties, jobs, etc, kindly come forward. Also, I would appreciate someone who is currently studying economics or had been associated with the University earlier.

FYI, International student
Planning to stay in the UK after masters, but not in hurry for sponsored job, can fund for PSW initially.
