  • Pretty soon I'll be back to uchicago content but I wanted to make a video going over the best and worst aspects of the University of Bristol (which, overall, was an amazing experience - I had to get nit-picky with the cons!). Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe 🌟

    The UK doesn't do extra credit, I've been at three different universities. Each module has a set amount of credits that each examination, coursework is broken down into. You can question your grades, all grading decisions are recorded.

    its great to hear that you had such a good time. I'm looking to study abroad at some point in the future. it's nice to hear that your experience was very student friendly and that people seemed eager to learn. i rencently graduated from university in canada and my experience was really marked with apathy. the vibes were so bad it was hard not to get sucked into it. i had a substitue instructor say that they have never had a class that was so disinterested (which was true, but kind of aucked to hear). im glad to hear that it's not really the universal student experience lol.

      Ah I'm sorry there was so much apathy! It really does affect how enjoyable a class is :/ I hope you're able to study abroad soon!

      What university did you go to? I had the same experience as you at McGill! I actually decided to switch schools and programs before finishing my degree because I was so unmotivated and didn’t get any joy from going to school anymore.

    I live in Bristol and apparently, they trying to get more Bristoleans in my college is known by my college campus is in the City Of Bristol College is college green so close to the main site and they have a Contextual offer for my college COBC of A Level grades bc we are know to not achieve high A level grades so they will give us a lower standard of grades compared to everyone else. Plus I live in Easton so it's not far.

    Oh that's one of my pet peeves is some one close to me when there are plenty of seats available. Especially on buses. I've had ppl sit right next to me when there is an available seat right next to it or 3-4 right across from me. I get up and move

    This is such an awesome video! May ask though, how is the weather like? Is it really cold during the winter and hot + humid in the summer?
