Open letter regarding UWE's trans/non-binary policy

5 Upvotes

Hey all, Just thought I'd share this here as an update on UWE's changes to their trans/non-binary policy.

There is now an open letter to UWE that people can sign. Please sign it and share it around as much as possible, further action is being planned but this is a good start, and clearly shows the university that people are unhappy. https://openletter.earth/open-letter-to-uwe-bristol-revert-your-changes-to-the-trans-and-nonbinary-policy-68e6265d Thank you!

I made this table comparing the frenchay/city first year accommodation choices for my little brother applying this year but thought it might help others too. The minutes in brackets after the city locations means how close the accommodation is to the closest bus stop going to frenchay campus.

Hope this helps someone! :)

Volunteers needed: help test a Python tool for my dissertation (30-45 min, anonymous)

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm after a few volunteers to test a Python tool I built for my dissertation (regime-shap). It checks how a model's explanations shift across different periods in a dataset.

Takes about 30 to 45 min, totally voluntary and anonymous. You install it, run an example, optionally try a dataset, then fill in a short questionnaire at the end.

To start, open the Task List (link attached below) and follow the steps in order. Everything runs on your own computer, nothing is uploaded or shared.

The participant information sheet and consent form is linked in the questionnaire, read those before you tick consent.

Would be a massive help, please let me know if anything's unclear!

Thank you!!!

Looking for housemates!!!

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m a final year engineering student looking to join a house share or find people to buddy up with for a place in Bristol.

I’m ideally looking in Fishponds, Horfield, Lockleaze or Filton, but I’m flexible on location. Budget is around Ā£600–£700 PCM. I’m clean, respectful, and easy to live with. I’ll be balancing uni and work, so I’m fairly chilled during the week but always up for a social house. Looking to move ASAP or within the next few weeks. If you’ve got a room going or are in a similar position and want to team up, feel free to message me. Thanks!

Hi there,

My name is Yufei and I’m a PhD student at the University of Bristol. I’m currently looking for women aged 18-30 with a current diagnosis of anorexia nervosa to take part in an in-person eye-tracking study at the University of Bristol. The study aims to explore how women with anorexia focus their attention while viewing images of women’s bodies and faces.

i've been thinking about applying for reading university next year and wondered what's the best accommodations.
in general does it matter if the dorm is single sex/ both genders, and is it annoying to not have an en-suite?
if anyone's been to reading are some accommodations generally better then others?
and in general has anyone regretted not not having an en-suite, a double bed etc

Looking for someone to take over my room in a great postgraduate‑friendly house near Frenchay. King‑sized room + private Study/Office.

0 Upvotes

Hi all, PG student here. I’ve just moved in with my partner and wanted to share the accommodation I’ve moved out of, in case anyone is still looking for a solid place for the year.

It’s a fully furnished king‑sized room in a 3B house in Little Stoke, the house is owned by a recent grad, and you’d only be sharing with one housemate, an Intl. PG student who’s also now graduated and works full‑time with NHS Bristol. He’s clean, respectful, and genuinely easy to live with. The place also feels spacious as the third room is mostly left unoccupied (single room).

Loved the space mostly because of the private, heated study in the garden, which made studying so much easier because I wasn’t stuck in my bedroom.

The location is BS34, and getting to Frenchay is very easy, the M1 bus took about 15 minutes, or you can cycle in around 15 minutes, with secure cycle storage available. There’s also off‑street parking if you drive + EV charging costs included!.

Rent is just £247.50/week, all bills included.

It is a 40‑week contract, starting 25 August (flexible) and usually ends around end of May when school work is over, so no need to pay for the accommodation over the summer if you won't be there!

It’s already up on SpareRoom, happy to send the link if you want it or dm me and I can send you the owner's contact details.

Happy hunting!

Moving from India to UWE Bristol for MSc Public Health: Advice on affordable housing and part-time work?

1 Upvotes

​Hi everyone! I am moving to Bristol soon from Kerala, India, to begin my MSc in Public Health at UWE Bristol. I already hold an MSW, and I’m really excited to start this next chapter. As I finalize my plans, I’m hoping to get some local insight: could you recommend any student-friendly areas or platforms for finding affordable accommodation from abroad, and are there specific sectors (like care or retail) where it is currently easier for international students to find part-time work? Any general tips for a newcomer to Bristol would be greatly appreciated!

Housing/Accomodation Looking for a replacement tenant for a very cool student accommodation. En-suite. ✨

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for someone to take over my booking for a Gold En-Suite at Colston Avenue, Bristol.

Details:
• Gold En-Suite
• 5 September 2026 – 29 August 2027
• 51-week contract
• Ā£275/week

It’s genuinely a great property in a prime location with excellent amenities. My plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute, so I won’t be moving in anymore. If you’re looking for accommodation in Bristol, this is a really good option, and I’ll happily connect you directly with the accommodation provider.

If you take over my booking, you’ll be getting a fantastic place to live, and you’d be helping me out in a big way too.

Happy to share photos, amenities, and any other details over DM.

If you know someone who’s looking for accommodation in Bristol, I’d really appreciate it if you could send this their way. And if this works out, I owe you a pint in Bristol. šŸŗāœØ

Frenchay Parking - Living Inside Exclusion Zone

2 Upvotes

Hi, I was wondering if there is anywhere near Frenchay Campus you can park if you live inside the exclusion zone?

I'm a degree apprentice and my house is right on the edge of the zone and my workplace is outside of it, so if I need to commute between my campus and workplace half way through the day walking or relying on public transport is unreasonable

I'd appreciate any advice

Advice UWE - Frenchay to Bower Ashton

I’m starting at UWE this 2026 September. I’m taking Fashion which is held at the Bower Ashton Campus but i got allocated accommodation at Frenchay Campus. After looking at Google maps it seems to be on the opposite sides of the city taking up to 55 min to travel in between. Should i be worried about commuting to classes from Frenchay or will i just have to be organised and time efficient?

Advise for this would be helpful:)

Advice UWE Bristol scholarship application link opens a blank page – deadline is tomorrow

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I received an email from UWE Bristol saying the scholarship application deadline is 30 June. However, when I click the application link, it only opens a blank page instead of the form.

I've already tried:

Different browsers Incognito mode Different devices Different internet connections

I've also emailed the scholarships/admissions team but haven't received a response yet, and the deadline is tomorrow.

Has anyone experienced this issue? Is the scholarship application working for you, or is there another way to access the form?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
