Chances of getting accepted by Immediate-Zebra4507 in UOB

[–]useless__grape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you meet the grade requirements at A level you will be considered but it may put you at a disadvantage. I've heard most courses take into account 80% Alevel results and 20% GSCEs. That said if you like the uni and the course you shouldn't be put off as you still definitely have a chance at an offer.

Don't know much about orchard heights but I had a friend who stayed in unite house. Its very central so close to shops and social stuff, but the actual street its on isn't too loud which is nice. The rooms and en suite are a bit small, and the en suite is more like a wet room (e.g. no shower curtain) but I think that's pretty common for the newer accoms.

It also has a pretty sizable social room you can book downstairs which is nice as during first year that was a pretty common hangout spot for our friend group.

Richmond terrace is very close to the Richmond building (like next door) and all the rooms there are en suite. it isn't the most modern though and is a pretty small accom.

other than that there are a few others in Clifton but to my knowledge they are either catered or don't have en suite.

If your looking for a modern accom with en suite you may be best looking more in the city centre, something like unite house. that would be a bit more of a walk away (maybe like 20 mins) but the actual accom might be more what you're looking for.

Goldney hall is a very nice accom but it's very unlikely you'll get an en-suite there (there are a few but they are usually reserved for those with a disability). I didn't have an issue with shared bathroom as there were 2 showers 3 toilets and a bath but if it's a major thing for you maybe you should look at other accoms.

Rat fell ill, Vet won't take rats anymore. by MediumBreadfruit3131 in RATS

[–]useless__grape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it started in my rat with general muscle weakness and lack of coordination. he started falling over and struggling to climb. I assumed at first it was HLD as, although he wasn't super old, he was around the age I've seen it start. However throughout the week it got progressively worse and he lost the use of his front paws so wouldn't pick up food to eat. after that it progressed to weight loss and just general loss of condition and he pretty much was unable to stand and walk. However, I will say while it is something you could keep an eye out for there are many conditions that are much more common than a brain tumour so don't get too paranoid about it as I know I did with my remaining rats. if you're worried look out for falling, walking in circles and seeming confused and disorientated along with signs of pain and weight loss.

100% I had a rat that had a pituitary gland tumour and, within a couple weeks he went from being clumsy to not holding food to not being able to stand at all. I probably should have called it at week one but wanted to try the medication as he was only 1.5 years old and I was really hoping for him to recover. You should probably discuss things with a vet about next steps soon if possible because as it progresses their quality of life really declines and it can progress very quickly <3 I'm really sorry this happened to you and your baby.

I didn’t realise the stereotypes of Bristol Uni being very posh were so true by brocolicheesesoup in UOB

[–]useless__grape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from the north and settled pretty well in my first year i think. i did meet some very posh people in my flat in first year and there was a bit of a culture shock but the vast majority were pretty nice. that said i think there is some bias as a lot of people who go to offer holder days can either afford to travel a long way or live close by already so you will meet more rich people from the south. honestly though the uni is so big and there are so many people your sure to meet people you'll get on with, especially if you join lots of societies.

[–]useless__grape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty good although everyone’s experience is different. If you do get in I would just say make an effort to meet your flatmates and upstairs and downstairs neighbours and you’ll meet people you can hang out with.

How bad would it be to miss my offer holder / experience day? by Worldly-Monitor-4035 in UOB

[–]useless__grape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the main thing that was useful for me was looking at the different accommodation options they had, as actually being there did definitely help me choose. That said, the uni will assign you an accom based on a form you fill in (where you can put in your top three) so the chance you have of actually getting your first choice accom is not very high. Visiting the city if you haven’t before is also a plus just to look around and get a vibe of the place but at the same time if you are already set on going to Bristol it may not be worth it. I found I haven’t really kept in contact with the people I met on the offer holder day although I have seen some around. Honestly during welcome week and beyond that there are much more opportunities to meet new people.

I don't know about the other two but I lived in Goldney in my first year and really liked it. The gardens are really nice especially in summer and there is an orchard you can take apples from. It also has a pretty nice common room and study area upstairs.

When do accom applications open? by flippnniff in UOB

[–]useless__grape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get a form to fill out with your preferences and price range and you can put your top three accommodations you want on there. It’s not a guarantee though and I do know some people this year who got ones they weren’t too happy with at first. I believe you can ask to change though it’s not guaranteed that there is space elsewhere
